Happy Birthday Walt!!!

As founder of Disneyland and father of Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney has left behind a legacy that will continue to delight children for decades to come. Disney possessed an uncommon imagination and gift for the graphic arts that resulted in him covering his Red Cross ambulance completely in cartoons during the war. When the war ended, Disney wrote the featurette, “Alice in Cartoonland,” with his brother, Roy, and then started his own production company. With the advent of sound in movie houses, Mickey made his official cinematic debut in the talking picture, “Steamboat Willie.” Walt won the first of his 48 Academy awards in 1932 for the Technicolor triumph Flowers and Trees. That same year, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released, thus beginning a long tradition of feature-length Disney classics. Although Disney passed away in 1966, his name will forever invoke the smiles of children and inspire the imagination.
