Walt Disney was a man of many passions. An entrepreneur and creative thinker, our beloved Disney creator is responsible for some of the most remarkable accomplishments in history. With an innovative mind, he spearheaded several projects unlike any the world had ever seen before.
Walter Elias Disney had humble beginnings, and his interests originated with a simple pastime, drawing. As a young boy, he took art classes, which paid off, as he eventually became a commercial illustrator at the age of 18. The mouse that started it all, Mickey Mouse, was developed in 1928, and the rest is animation history.
Animation is arguably Walt’s most beloved passion. It’s the medium that started it all and is also treasured by Disney fans. The world was taken by storm when computer animation upped the ante in an unparalleled movie called Toy Story in 1995.
