We chose Walt Disney since we thought it was a great idea. Many kids of this generation and many others grew up watching Walt Disney's work come to life on screen in shows such as Steamboat Willie in 1928 and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse from 2006 to this day. We thought it would be interesting to show people how famous Walt Disney's work has become. Walt Disney is inspiring considering the fact that he started off with a few characters and has grown too many more. He was dead on with his quote, "All our dreams can come true—if we have the courage to pursue them." We also thought it would be nice to make our topic about Walt Disney because he didn't do it for the money he did it for the passion of doing the impossible.

Walt Disney was born Walter Elias Disney on December 5th, 1901 in Hermosa, Illinois. He grew up in Marceline, Missouri, where he began drawing, painting and selling pictures to neighbors and family friends. He went to McKinley High School in Chicago, where he took drawing and photography classes and was a cartoonist for the school paper.He spent his nights taking courses at the Chicago Art Institute.
