The Early Years
Walt Disney was born in Chicago in 1901. He loved to draw from a young age, and he sold his first cartoon at the age of 19. In 1923, he moved to Hollywood and founded the Walt Disney Company. The company's first major success was the animated short film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," which was released in 1937. The film was a huge hit, and it helped to establish Disney as a major force in the entertainment industry.
Disney continued to produce popular animated films throughout the 1940s and 1950s. In 1955, he opened the first Disneyland theme park in Anaheim, California. The park was an instant success, and it quickly became one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
Disney died in 1966, but his company continues to produce new animated films and theme parks. Today, the Walt Disney Company is one of the most powerful media companies in the world.
