In 1901, Disney was born in Chicago, and he had a great interest in painting. He went to art classes at his early age and worked as a commercial illustrator in his 18. Experiencing several failure in his career, he decided to move to Hollywood in 1923 and began Disney Brothers Studio with his brother Roy.

Walt created the new character Mickey Mouse in 1928 with Ub Iwerks and started Mickey series cartoons. They used synchronized sound on its short, Steamboat Willie. This became the first post-produced sound cartoon in the world and won a big success for their cartoons. Disney is always willing to try new technology so they used full-color three-strip Technicolor when filmed Flowers and Trees (1932). In 1937, Snow White released and was highly appreciated by audiences. It became the most successful sound film at that time.

During those years, they produced many famous animated film, like Pinocchio(1940), Fantasia (1940),and Bambi (1942) which pushed forward the development of animated film. A new form of animated film came out after World War II, which combines animation with live-action. Well-known film Cinderella (1950) and Mary Poppins (1964) are good examples of this type.
