 Walt डिज़्नी
Walt Disney
Walter Elias "Walt" डिज़्नी (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966), was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, and animator. One of the most well-known motion picture producers in the world, डिज़्नी was also the creator of an American theme park called Disneyland, and is the co-founder with his brother Roy O. डिज़्नी of Walt डिज़्नी Productions, the profitable corporation now known as The Walt डिज़्नी Company.

Walt डिज़्नी is in particular noted for being a successful storyteller, a hands-on film producer, and a लोकप्रिय showman. He and his staff created a number of the world’s most लोकप्रिय animated properties; including the one many consider Disney’s alter-ego, Mickey Mouse. डिज़्नी was born in Chicago, Illinois to Elias डिज़्नी and Flora Call. He was named after his father and after his father's close friend Walter Parr, the minister at St. Paul Congregational Church. In 1906, his family moved to a farm near Marceline, Missouri. The family sold the farm in 1909 and lived in a rented house until 1910, when they moved to Kansas City. डिज़्नी was nine years old at the time.


According to the Kansas City Public School District records, डिज़्नी began attending the Benton Grammar School in 1911, and graduated on June 8, 1917. During this time, डिज़्नी also enrolled in classes at the Chicago Art Institute. He left school at the age of sixteen and became a volunteer रोगी वाहन, एम्बुलेंस driver in World War I, after he changed his birth certificate to दिखाना his साल of birth as 1900 in order to be able to enlist in the service. He served as a member of the American Red पार करना, क्रॉस रोगी वाहन, एम्बुलेंस Force in France until 1919. डिज़्नी returned to the USA, moved to Kansas City and, with Ub Iwerks, formed a company called "Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists" in January 1920. The company faltered and डिज़्नी and Iwerks soon gained employment at the Kansas City Film Ad Corporation, working on primitive animated advertisements for local movie houses.

In 1922, डिज़्नी started Laugh-O-Grams, Inc., which produced short कार्टून based on लोकप्रिय fairy tales and children’s stories. Among his employees were Iwerks, Hugh Harman, Rudolph Ising, Carmen Maxwell, and Friz Freleng. The shorts were लोकप्रिय in the local Kansas City area, but their costs exceeded their returns. After creating one last short, the live-action/animation Alice’s Wonderland, the studio declared bankruptcy in July 1923. Disney's brother Roy invited him to हटाइए to Hollywood, California, and डिज़्नी earned enough money for a one-way train ticket to California, leaving his staff behind, but taking the finished reel of Alice’s Wonderland with him. isney set up खरीडिए with his brother Roy, started the डिज़्नी Brothers Studio in their Uncle Robert’s garage, and got a distribution deal with New York City states-rights distributors Margaret Winkler and her fiancé Charles Mintz. Virginia Davis, the live-action तारा, स्टार of Alice’s Wonderland, was sequestered from Kansas, as was Ub Iwerks. द्वारा 1926, the डिज़्नी Brothers Studio had been renamed as the Walt डिज़्नी Studio; the name Walt डिज़्नी Productions would be adopted in 1928. One of the studio’s employees, Lillian Bounds, became Walt Disney’s wife; they were married on July 13 1925.

The Alice Comedies were reasonably successful, and featured both Dawn O'Day and Margie Gay as Alice after Virginia Davis’ parents pulled her out of the series because of a pay cut. Lois Hardwick also briefly assumed the role. द्वारा the time the series ended in 1927, the focus was और on the animated characters, in particular a cat named Julius who recalled Felix the Cat, rather than the live-action Alice. द्वारा 1927, Charles Mintz had married Margaret Winkler and assumed control of her business, and ordered a new all-animated series to be put into production for distribution through Universal Pictures. The new series, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, was an almost instant success, and the Oswald character became a लोकप्रिय property. The डिज़्नी studio expanded, and Walt hired Harman, Ising, Maxwell, and Freleng from Kansas City.

In February 1928, डिज़्नी went to New York to negotiate a higher fee per short from Mintz, but was shocked when Mintz announced that not only did he want to reduce the fee he paid डिज़्नी per short, but that he had most of his main animators, including Harman, Ising, Maxwell, and Freleng, but notably excepting Ub Iwerks, under contract and would start his own studio if डिज़्नी did not accept the reduced production budgets. Universal, not Disney, owned the Oswald trademark, and could make the films without Disney. डिज़्नी declined, लॉस्ट most of his एनीमेशन staff, and he, Iwerks, and the few non-defecting animators secretly began work on a new माउस character to take Oswald’s place. The defectors became the nucleus of the Winkler Studio, run by

Mintz and his brother-in-law George Winkler. When that studio went under after Universal assigned production of the Oswald shorts to an in-house division run द्वारा Walter Lantz, Mintz focused his attentions on the studio making the Krazy Kat shorts, which later became Screen Gems, and Harman, Ising, Maxwell, and Freleng marketed a Oswald-like character named Bosko to Leon Schlesinger and Warner Bros., and began work on the first entries in the Looney Tunes series. Christened द्वारा Lillian Disney, Mickey माउस made his film debut in a short called Plane Crazy, which was, like all of Disney’s पूर्व works, a silent film. After failing to find distributor interest in Plane Crazy या its follow-up, The Gallopin' Gaucho, डिज़्नी created a Mickey cartoon with sound called स्टीमर, स्टीमबोट Willie. A businessman named Pat Powers provided डिज़्नी with both distribution and the Cinephone, a bootlegged sound-synchronization process. स्टीमर, स्टीमबोट Willie became a success, and Plane Crazy, The Galloping Gaucho, and all future Mickey कार्टून were released with soundtracks. डिज़्नी himself provided the vocal effects for the earliest कार्टून and performed as the voice of Mickey माउस until 1947 and replaced द्वारा sound effects guy James MacDonald.

Joining the Mickey माउस series in 1929 were a series of musical shorts called Silly Symphonies, which began with The Skeleton Dance. Although both series were successful, the डिज़्नी studio was not seeing its ri

ghtful share of profits from Pat Powers, and in 1930, डिज़्नी signed a new distribution deal with Columbia Pictures, leaving behind Powers and Ub Iwerks, who had been lured into an exclusive contract with Powers. After heading the only mildly successful Ub Iwerks Studio, Iwerks would return to डिज़्नी in 1940 and, in the studio's research and development department, pioneer a number of film processes and specialized एनीमेशन technologies.

द्वारा 1932, Mickey माउस became the most लोकप्रिय cartoon character on the screen, and many competing studios such as वैन, वान Beuren and Screen Gems created Mickey माउस clones in hopes of cashing in on Disney’s success. After moving from Columbia to United Artists in 1932, Walt began producing the Silly Symphonies in the new 3-strip Technicolor process, making them the first commercial films presented in a true-color process. The first color Symphony was फूल and Trees, which won the first Academy Award for Best Short Subject: कार्टून in 1932. The same year, डिज़्नी received a special Academy Award for the creation of Mickey Mouse, whose series was moved into color in 1935 and soon launched spin-off series for supporting characters such as Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. As Mickey’s co-creator and producer, डिज़्नी was almost as famous as his माउस cartoon character, but remained a largely private individual. His greatest hope was to give birth to a child—preferably a son—but he and Lillian tried with no luck. Lillian finally gave birth to a daughter, Diane Marie Disney, on December 18, 1933; and the couple would adopt a second, Sharon Mae Disney, who was born December 21, 1936. Although his studio produced the two most successful cartoon series in the industry, the returns were still dissatisfying to Disney, and he began plans for a full-length feature in 1934. When the rest of the film industry learned of Disney’s plans to produce an animated feature-length version of Snow White, they dubbed the project "Disney’s Folly" and were certain that the project would destroy the डिज़्नी studio. Both Lillian and Roy tried to talk डिज़्नी out of the project, but he continued plans for the feature. He employed Chouinard Art Institute professor Don Graham to start a training operation for the studio staff, and used the Silly Symphoniesas a platform for experiments in realistic human animation, distinctive character animation, special effects, and the use of specialized processes and apparatus such as the multiplane camera. All of this development and training was used to elevate the quality of the studio so that it would be able to give the feature the quality डिज़्नी desired. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as the feature was named, was in full production from 1935 until mid-1937, when the studio ran out of money. To acquire the funding to complete Snow White, डिज़्नी had to दिखाना a rough cut of the motion picture to loan officers at the Bank of America, who gave the studio the money to finish the picture. The finished film premiered at the Carthay वृत्त Theater on December 21, 1937; at the conclusion of the film the audience gave Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs a standing ovation. The first animated feature in English and Technicolor, Snow White was released in February 1938 under a new distribution deal with RKO Radio Pictures. The film became the most successful motion picture of 1938 and earned over US$8 million (today US$98 million) in its original theatrical release. The success of Snow White allowed डिज़्नी to build a new campus for the Walt डिज़्नी Studios in Burbank, which opened for business on December 24 1939. The feature एनीमेशन staff, having just completed Pinocchio, continued work on Fantasia and Bambi, while the shorts staff continued work on the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto cartoon series, ending the Silly Symphonies at this time. Pinocchio and Fantasia followed Snow White into movie theaters in 1940, but both were financial disappointments. The inexpensive Dumbo was planned as an income generator, but during production of the new film, most of the एनीमेशन staff went on strike, permanently straining the relationship between डिज़्नी and his artists.

Shortly after Dumbo was released in October 1941 and became a successful moneymaker, the United States entered World War II. The U.S. Army took over most of the डिज़्नी studio’s facilities and had the staff create training and instructional films for the military, as well as home-front propaganda such as Der Fuehrer's Face and the feature film Victory Through Air Power in 1943. The military films did not generate income, however, and Bambi underperformed when it was released in April 1942. डिज़्नी successfully re-issued Snow White in 1944, establishing the seven-year re-release tradition for डिज़्नी features.

Inexpensive package films, containing collections of cartoon shorts, were created and issued to theaters during this period as well. The most notable and successful of these were Saludos Amigos (1942), its sequel The Three Caballeros (1945), Song of the South (the first डिज़्नी feature to feature dramatic actors, 1946), Fun and Fancy Free (1947), and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949). The later had only two sections: the first based on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow द्वारा Washington Irving and the सेकंड based on The Wind in the Willows द्वारा Kenneth Grahame.

द्वारा the late 1940s, the studio had recovered enough to continue production on the full-length features Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan, which had been shelved during the war years and began work on Cinderella. The studio also began a series of live-action nature films, entitled True-Life Adventures, in 1948 with On सील, मुहर Island. In 1947, during the dark early years of the Cold War, Walt डिज़्नी testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and he named several of his employees as Communist sympathizers. Some historians believe that the animosity from the 1941 strike of डिज़्नी Studio employees caused him to भालू a grudge. His dislike and distrust of labor unions may have also led to his testimony. In 1949, when डिज़्नी and his family moved to a new घर on large piece of property in the in the Holmby Hills district of Los Angeles, California, with the help of his फ्रेंड्स Ward and Betty Kimball, owners of their own backyard railroad, डिज़्नी developed the blueprints and immediately set to work creating his own miniature railroad in his backyard. The name of the railroad, Carolwood Pacific Railroad, originated from the address of his घर which was located on Carolwood Drive. The railroad's half-mile long layout included a 46-foot-long trestle, loops, overpasses, gradients, an elevated dirt berm, and a 90-foot tunnel underneath Mrs. Disney's फूल bed. He even named the miniature working steam locomotive built द्वारा Roger E. Broggie of the डिज़्नी Studios Lilly Belle in his wife's honor. On a business trip to Chicago in the late 1940s, डिज़्नी drew sketches of his ideas for a amusement park where he envisioned his employees spending time with their children. These ideas developed into a concept for a larger enterprise which was to become Disneyland. डिज़्नी spent five years of his life developing Disneyland and created a new subsidiary of his company, called WED Enterprises, to carry out the planning and production of the park. A small group of डिज़्नी studio employees joined the Disneyland development project as engineers and planners, and were dubbed Imagineers.

When presenting his plan to the Imagineers, डिज़्नी कहा "I want Disneyland to be the most amazing place on Earth, and I want a train circling it". Entertaining his daughters and their फ्रेंड्स in his backyard and taking them for rides on his Carolwood Pacific Railroad had inspired डिज़्नी to include a railroad in the plans for Disneyland. As Walt डिज़्नी Productions began work on Disneyland, it also began expanding its other entertainment operations. 1950's Treasure Island became the studio's first all-live-action feature, and was soon followed द्वारा such successes as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (in CinemaScope, 1954), The Shaggy Dog (1959), and The Parent Trap (1960). The Walt डिज़्नी Studio was one of the first to take full advantage of the then-new medium of television, producing its first TV special, One घंटा in Wonderland, in 1950. Walt डिज़्नी began hosting a weekly anthology series on ABC named Disneyland after the park, where he showed clips of past डिज़्नी productions, gave tours of his studio, and familiarized the public with Disneyland as it was being constructed in Anaheim, California. In 1955, he debuted the studio's first daily टेलीविज़न show, the लोकप्रिय Mickey माउस Club, which would continue in many various incarnations into the 1990s.

As the studio expanded and diversified into other media, डिज़्नी devoted less of his attention to the एनीमेशन department, entrusting most of its operations to his key animators, whom he dubbed the Nine Old Men. During Disney’s life time, the एनीमेशन department created the successful Lady and the Tramp (in CinemaScope, 1955) and One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) and the financially disappointing Sleeping Beauty (in Super Technirama 70mm, 1959) and The Sword in the Stone (1963).

Production on the short कार्टून had kept pace until 1956, when डिज़्नी shut down the shorts division. Special shorts projects would continue to be made for the rest of the studio's duration on an irregular basis.

These productions were all distributed द्वारा Disney’s new subsidiary Buena Vista Distribution, which had assumed all distribution duties for डिज़्नी films from RKO द्वारा 1955. Disneyland, one of the world's first theme parks, finally opened on July 17, 1955, and was immediately successful. Visitors from around the world came to visit Disneyland, which contained attractions based upon a number of successful डिज़्नी properties and films. After 1955, the Disneyland TV दिखाना became known as Walt डिज़्नी Presents, went from black-and-white to color in 1961--changing its name to Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color--and eventually evolved into what is today known as The Wonderful World of Disney, which continues to air on ABC as of 2005.

During the mid-1950s, डिज़्नी produced a number of educational films on the अंतरिक्ष program in collaboration with NASA rocket designer Wernher von Braun: Man in अंतरिक्ष and Man and the Moon in 1955, and Mars and Beyond in 1957. The films attracted the attention of not only the general public, but also the Soviet अंतरिक्ष program. द्वारा the early 1960s, the डिज़्नी Empire was a major success, and Walt डिज़्नी Productions had established itself as the world’s leading producer of family entertainment. After decades of trying, डिज़्नी finally procured the rights to P.L. Travers’ पुस्तकें about a magical nanny. Mary Poppins, released in 1964, was the most successful डिज़्नी film of the 1960s, and many hailed the live-action/animation combination feature as his greatest achievement. The same year, डिज़्नी debuted a number of exhibits at the 1964 New York World's Fair, including Audio-Animatronic figures, all of which later were integrated into attractions at Disneyland and a new theme park project, to be established on the east coast, which डिज़्नी had been planning since Disneyland opened. In 1964, Walt डिज़्नी Productions began quietly purchasing land in central Florida west of Orlando in a largely rural area of marginal नारंगी, ऑरेंज groves for Disney's "Florida Project." The company acquired over 27,000 acres (109 km²) of land, and arranged favorable state legislation which would provide unprecedented quasi-governmental control over the area to be developed in 1966, founding the Reedy Creek Improvement District. डिज़्नी and his brother Roy then announced plans for what they called "Disney World." डिज़्नी World was to include a larger, और elaborate version of Disneyland to be called the Magic Kingdom, and would also feature a number of golf courses and resort hotels. The दिल of डिज़्नी World, however, was to be the Experimental Prototype City (or Community) of Tomorrow, या EPCOT for short. EPCOT was designed to be an operational city where residents would live, work, and interact using advanced and experimental technology, while scientists would develop and test new technologies to improve human life and health. However, Disney’s involvement in डिज़्नी World ended in late 1966, when he was diagnosed with lung cancer in his left lung, after a life-long habit of chain smoking. He was checked into the St. Joseph's Hospital across the सड़क, स्ट्रीट from the डिज़्नी Studio lot and his health eventually deteriorated. His dedication to his projects was still visible while lying in his death bed. On the evening of December 14th, Roy came to visit him. Here, Walt pointed up to the ceiling using the tiles as a grip map. He then signaled Roy about the roads and major places in EPCOT and डिज़्नी World. Even sick, Walt's mind was clear, his imagination fully engaged and his voice enthusiastic.

It came as a complete shock to the डिज़्नी Family and to the whole world when Walt died the अगला morning. He was pronounced dead at 9:35 AM PST on December 15, 1966 having just celebrated his sixty-fifth birthday two weeks earlier. The official cause of death was "acute circulatory collapse". His दिल simply stopped beating. It was trully unthinkable. Walt डिज़्नी was dead. Roy, who had always been supportive to Walt, looking for and helping him, had लॉस्ट his reason for living. After an घंटा या so, Walt's foot was sticking out from under the blancket. Roy was द्वारा the bed, gently rubbing Walt's foot and कहा "Well kid, it looks like the end of the road.". Roy was still the older brother to the end.

Roy डिज़्नी carried out the Florida project, insisting that the name become Walt डिज़्नी World in honor of his brother. Roy O. डिज़्नी died three months after the Magic Kingdom opened for business in 1971. When the सेकंड phase of the Walt डिज़्नी World theme park was built, EPCOT was translated द्वारा Walt Disney's successors into the Epcot theme park, which opened in 1982. The Epcot Park that currently exists is essentially a living world's fair, a far cry from the actual functional city that डिज़्नी had envisioned. However, the Celebration, Florida town built द्वारा the Walt डिज़्नी Company adjacent to Walt डिज़्नी World harkens back to the EPCOT vision. Today, Walt Disney's animation/motion picture studios and theme park have developed into a multi-billion dollar television, motion picture, vacation destination and media corporation that carries his name. The Walt डिज़्नी Company today owns, among other assets, four vacation resorts, nine theme parks, two water parks, thirty-two hotels, eight motion picture studios, six record labels, eleven cable टेलीविज़न networks, and one terrestrial टेलीविज़न network. Today, what was known as the Florida Project is now the largest and most लोकप्रिय private-run tourist destination on the planet, but the Walt डिज़्नी shine is still there. From the 'Partners' statue at the Magic Kingdom to the पेड़ of Life at Animal Kingdom, Walt डिज़्नी is still remembered and his vision is still continued. His fascination with mass transportation lives in the Walt डिज़्नी World Monorail which runs through two theme parks and four hotels, and his dreams of the future live on at Epcot in ahead-of-their-time attractions and technological breakthroughs.

Disneyland has developed from a cramped theme park to an open resort of two theme parks, three hotels and a large shopping complex. Walt डिज़्नी World is a लोकप्रिय destination for vacations द्वारा tourists worldwide, and Tokyo Disneyland is the most visited theme park in the world (its sister park Tokyo Disneysea is the second). In September 2005, The Walt डिज़्नी Company will open Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in China.

On May 5 2005, The Walt डिज़्नी Company opened the Happiest Homecoming on Earth celebration in front of Walt's Sleeping Beauty गढ़, महल at Disneyland, celebrating fifty years of the world's most famous theme park. Walt डिज़्नी Parks and Resorts are renowned over the world for their attentions to detail, hygiene and standards, all set द्वारा Walt डिज़्नी at Disneyland. Traditional hand-drawn animation, with which Walt डिज़्नी started his company, was, for a time, no longer produced at the Walt डिज़्नी एनीमेशन Studios. After a stream of financially unsuccessful traditionally animated features in the early 2000s, the two satellite studios in Paris and Orlando were closed, and the main studio in Burbank was converted to a computer एनीमेशन production facility. In 2004, डिज़्नी released what was announced as their final "traditionally animated" feature film, घर on the Range. However, since the 2006 acquisition of Pixar, and the resulting rise of John Lasseter to Chief Creative Officer, that position has changed, and the largely successful 2009 film The Princess and the Frog has marked Disney's return to traditional hand-drawn animation. डिज़्नी devoted substantial time in his later years funding The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), which was formed in 1961 through a merger of the Los Angeles Conservatory of संगीत and the Chouinard Art Institute, which had helped in the training of the एनीमेशन staff during the 1930s. When he died, one fourth of his estate went towards CalArts, which greatly helped the building of its campus. Walt also donated 38 acres (154,000 m²) of the Golden Oaks ranch in Valencia for the school to be built on. CalArts moved onto the Valencia campus in 1971.

Lillian डिज़्नी devoted a lot of her time after Walt died to pursuing CalArts and organized hundreds of fund raising events for the विश्वविद्यालय in her late husband's honor (as well as funding the Walt डिज़्नी Symphony Hall). After Lillian's passing, the legacy continued with daughter Diane and husband Ron continuing the tradition. CalArts is today one of the largest independent universities in California today, mostly because of the contributions of the Disneys.
