First of all, Walter Elias Disney was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 5th, 1901, the fourth kid of five children of Elias and Flora Disney. The family often moved from place to place because of Walt's father Elias. He tried his hand successively as a farmer, a businessman, an orange grower, a carpenter and ' But he expected all members of his family, no matter how young, to spend most of their waking hours working for him without any compensation.

During Walt's childhood and adolescence, Elias operated a farm in Marceline, Missouri. It was there that Walt spent his early years and developed his interest in drawing. In 1910 the family moved again, this time to

After Walt Disney returned from France in 1919, he decided to make art his career. He soon joined the staff of the Kansas City Film Advertising Company, which was producing a simple type of animation. He and a colleague, Ubbe Iwerks, learned enough about animation to try doing some of their own. They formed a company called Laugh-O-Gram Films. The company made fun of local problem and scandals in cartoon form. They sold well enough to give Walt and Iwerks the courage to go into business for themselves. But the Laugh-O-Grams didn't hold Walt's interest very long. He had a new idea to try, which was illustrating updated fairy tales in series of cartoons. The cartoons he and Iwerks produced were not bad, but Walt never got paid for hid films. Walt then started on a new fresh project, a series of funny story featuring a girl actress and animated characters. He called it "Alice's Wonderland." Money was so scarce that he couldn't even pay for the rent. With such meager fund all he could produce was a pilot film for the Alice series. He thought Kansas City was not the place that earns much money, so he decided to move to California.

Walt Disney also pioneered the production of feature films for television. Some of these appeared on his weekly series "The Mickey Mouse Club (1955-59)" and on " Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color," which aired, under several titles for 29 seasons. Shows prepared for New York World's Fair in 1964 enabled Disney to show off his Audio-Animatronics figures in such attractions as "It's a Small World" and " Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln." The life like figure of Abraham Lincoln, which recited passages from his speeches, never ceased to amaze fairgoers.

In 1923, Walt Disney moved to California, and began Walt Disney Production with his brother Roy Disney and a collea
