Walt is such a fascinating character. He inspires me due to his determination. I myself don't have a good relationship with my father and while it may not be to the extent that Walt's relationship was at, I still have that anger, and those coping mechanisms that help and ease that anger away. The fact that this sort of craft can grow into something iconic is something that amazes me !

Even though Walt's success was growing, being in the entertainment business and all, anything can happen and that success could end in an instant. However, this only motivated Disney, and eventually he hired a team of artists and animators, and Mickey Mouse films rolled out of the studio. Disney continued to embrace the latest techniques, adopting the new medium of Technicolor just as readily as he had sound.

Earlier way in the beginning of his career--, his first commercially successful creation, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, was stolen from him. Disney had carelessly allowed the character to be copyrighted not under his name, but under his distributor's name. It was a mistake Disney would not repeat, not in his whole life.

Walt Disney was absurdly crafty and resourceful with everything he was given. He had used the space in his garage to create his own studio. While all of the equipment wasn't rightfully his, he took advantage of this borrowed equipment and accomplished greatness with it. He had begun to produce his own shorts, calling them Laugh-O-Grams. But he found it difficult to persuade local theater owners to show them. Strapped for cash, Disney gave up his apartment and started living out of his office, surviving on cold beans.
