Walt Disney

Walter Elias Disney was born in Chicago in 1901 and raised on a Missouri farm, where his father worked him hard and his mother encouraged his drawing. He drove an ambulance in World War I (too young to enlist, he lied about his age), then returned to Kansas City to become a commercial artist. He started an animation studio that failed, moved to Hollywood, started another with his brother Roy, and created a character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, only to have the rights stolen by his distributor. On the train back from that devastating loss, he sketched a mouse. Mickey Mouse, voiced by Walt himself in the early years, became the most famous rodent in history when 'Steamboat Willie' introduced synchronized sound to animation in 1928.
