     Walt Diney's name is known worldwide.  Most people have seen one
of his films.  However, few people know what he was like as a person.  I
would like to introduce him to you in my paper.  I hope that after reading this
you will better know the man behind the movies.
     Walt Disney knew at a very young age that he wanted to be an artist.
He was born in Chicago on December 5, 1901.  When he was five his family
moved to Marceline, Missouri.  He lived on a farm with his parents Flora and
Elias, his older brothers Ray, Hubert, and Roy, and his little sister, Ruth.1
His love for art began on the farm.  Since he was too young to work on the
farm, he drew the animals.  When he was seven, he and his sister began
attending school, but in 1917 his family returned to Chicago.2  In Chicago he
took a summer job on a railroad.  When he began at McKinley High School,
he took the money he earned to pay for art classes at the Chicago Academy of

stead of short animated ads.   Disney's first character with a personality, was
Oswald the Rabbit.  But, in a scandal, he lost the character and several
animators.  Outraged by the loss he vowed," Never again will I work for
somebody else."7   After his last disappointment he made another
character, Mortimer Mouse.  His wife disliked the name and renamed him
Mickey Mouse.
     Mickey Mouse was the beginning of  several successful films.  The
best known of the early Mickey cartoons was Steamboat Willie, the first
animated film with sound.  Walt used his own voice for Mickey.8  Walt
Disney  still wished to make even longer films and now the invention of the
multiplane camera made it possible.  The multiplane camera made Disney's
cartoons look better and saved his animators work.  Walt Disney's next film
was a masterpiece the that changed anima...
