He introduced several developments in the production of cartoons.

Walter Elias "Walt" Disney co-founded Walt Disney Productions with his brother Roy, which became one of the best-known motion-picture production companies in the world. Disney was an innovative animator and created the cartoon character Mickey Mouse. He won 22 Academy Awards during his lifetime, and was the founder of theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Some facts about Him:

When Disney was just a teenager, he joined the Red Cross in 1918 and was sent to France for a year to drive an ambulance to help with the war effort.

Disney experienced many failures — including filing for bankruptcy — before he became a hugely successful animator and amusement park creator.

When Disneyland opened in 1955, it reportedly cost $17 million to make.

His Education: Kansas City Art Institute and School of Design, Chicago Art Institute, McKinley High School
