Chapter Two

Walt Disney: A Legend

The first sentence of the chapter basically sums up what a majority of the world thinks. " It is impossible to overstate the impact Walt Disney had on the development of animated cartoons" Honestly after reading that I did not feel the need to go on, but I did. It is hard to believe that Disney has been donating to the worlds happiness with his animations for over 40 years! I am still watching disney movies as a 21 year old and I will continue to show my children. Walt Disney has left a profound impact on the animation world, and thanks to him I feel as if the animation world will only keep getting better. Even without his presence here today.
Although I do love Disney movies, I have never been a big fan of Mickey Mouse or Fantasia. In the chapter they talk how they had concerns of Mickey Mouse being like other animated animals, but were looking for a way for him to have his own personality. So they added other characters to the line up and people fell in love. It is amazing how long Mickey Mouse has been around. He was born 1928 and now its a conpletely different century! What shocks me even more is how Mickey Mouse was created in black and white but made the transition into color.
This chapter had so much information in it that I found to be so interesting that I would never have guess about Walt Disney but there is just to much to analysis and bore you all with in this one blog. Walt Disney is so facinating and I am sorry for realizing this now. I am definately going ot plan a trip to Disney world for after graduation! Anyone interested??
