Story on your screen is another interesting story about the history of the appearance razukrashki.
City, where he was born, was a big, noisy and totally satisfied parent Walt. Chicago. They decided to settle the children on a farm near the small town of Marceline, State of Missouri. Walt was then only 4 years. The family had no money for pencils and paper, and Walt wanted to draw. He found a pitch, a stick and drew a house ... on the wall of his house. This was probably the very first picture of Walt. Three years later he will sell his drawings to neighbors. And after 40 years they would sell these pictures in auctions. Lived on farms were as expensive and unprofitable, as in the city, and the family decided to try his luck again by changing the place of residence.
This time was chosen as Kansas City. There, 8-year-old Walt began making money within six years of getting up at 3:30 every morning, and various newspapers. Ewalt wanted to make pictures like those seen in the comics, but he was not a trace of free time. He was a despot-father, thinking that all artists - loafers, severely chastised Walt. Nevertheless, Walt managed to enter the Chicago Art Institute, where he discovered that his true talents are more in understanding and coordinating projects than in the drafting of documents. Elyos Disney - Walt's father, a carpenter, farmer and building contractor, mercilessly thrashed their children and Walt came to the conclusion that it is not his real father. Father also managed to instill in the boy hatred of Jews, and Walt never restrained in his judgments about them. But this is a little different story.
Critics and psychologists believe that these tests and, especially, concerns about its origin, became a sort of pattern in the later Disney films. By the way, noticed that the heroes of Disney child learns himself. In fact, what Disney character the most likable child who can understand what his problems. In 1918, Walt Disney attempted to enter military service, but in 16 years in the service did not take. Then Walt joined the Red Cross and was sent abroad, where he spent a year driving an ambulance. On his return to Kansas City in 1919, Walt Disney began work as the artistic director of a commercial studio. There he met Ayverksa Uba, a young artist, who became his business partner. They opened a joint studio and bought a used camera, with which, and did two-minute promotional films. The films were shown only in local cinemas and, ultimately, the partners moved their studio in Los Angeles to be at least a little closer to the film industry in Hollywood. Like a drug becomes a cartoon.
For centuries, artists tried to depict the moving figures. As a result of technological development is possible. Animation combines music, voice, and paint. Disney like no one understood it. Left town with $ 40 in his pocket, he met his brother Roy, who has money and it was a little larger and a desire to do something he could not refuse. By combining financial resources and take another $ 500, the brothers opened a shop in the garage of his own uncle. And in January 1926 in California opened the first Disney studio. Two brothers - Walt and Roy came close to his dream, began to create animated films. Creating even a small episode required the talent director, actor, sound engineer, writer and music editor.
Walt and Roy were able to at all. How could they compete with other animators, when even the big studios a two-minute movie requires months of work, and for the full-length to a few years? Script cartoon is like a great comic. Instructions are placed in one row with five-inch pencil sketch, which are interspersed with dialogues, printed next to each picture. Once the storyboards are completed, the director arranges a conference with animators, experts on the composition, background artists and musicians. The only person who can participate in the proceedings from start to finish - is the director. The film consists of many elements: dialogue, color, sound and music. The biggest job is director of timing and coordination of all these elements that will form the finished film. In Disney was only two employees - Walt and Roy. And they coped. In 1927 the brothers had been deceived, suing them right on the screen version of "Oswald - Lucky Rabbit. This prompted Walt to begin work on a new character - fun, energetic mouse named Mortimer. The first movie about Mortimer - "Rapid airplane" was released in 1928.
Mileage was not as successful, because at the same time, there were sound films to compete with production studio. Soon after Disney received a contract from the U.S. government on the production of educational films. Projects have been so profitable and interesting, that the studio completely refused to continue working on films about Mortimer. In 1928 the brothers returned to the idea of "energetic mouse. The hard work has led to the short film "Steamboat Willie". The captain of the ship was a small mouse. Thus was born the Mickey Mouse, which, at first, voiced by Disney himself. The first big success came in 1929 with the film "Silly Symphonies" and the world's first full-length cartoon, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs "(1937). Between these two movies came to light Pluto and Goofy - other popular Disney characters, as well as the first color film with Mickey Mouse - "The Concert." For the production of color films needed to learn a new profession. Until then, experts composers, to develop common ideas, handed them over to animators. Now, however, require background specialists and consultants in the selection of colors. In 1940 came "Pinocchio" and "Fantasia" - the first successful attempt to understand music through visual images. In 1941 came "Dumbo." During the war, Disney produced films for American soldiers. At that time it was simply necessary to raise the valor and morality.
Walt Disney becomes the FBI informant. Maybe he wanted to know whether he was the son of his father, but he may be raised in such a way civic morality. Preserved approximately 500 pages of his letters to the Bureau. However, all this can be read in the book: "Walt Disney: An American Original", but not in this article. In 1948, Walt Disney began his famous series of colorful species Film: "Living Desert," "Vanishing prairie," "African Lion and White wilderness. "Parallel to this, he is working on children's films:" Treasure Island "," Robin Hood "and" Mary Poppins ". Later, in 1955 in California, he opened the first Disneyland - an amusement park. Then Disneyland will open in Florida, Tokyo and Paris: But it was only the beginning. In 1965, Walt Disney drew attention to various issues related to improving the quality of urban life in America. He personally drafted a "pilot community of tomorrow", planned as the possible development of the creative potential of American industry.
Disney bought 43 square miles of unused land, which is twice the size of Manhattan. Here he planned to accommodate the new "World of Disney: entertainment, spas, hotels, motels, industrial complexes, airport of the future and his" experimental community of tomorrow. " After more than seven years of planning and preparation, including 52 months of actual construction, "Disney World" was opened, as scheduled, on Oct. 1, 1971. California Institute of Arts was founded by Disney in 1961. The new campus is spread over an area of 60 acres in the city of Valencia, north-east of Los Angeles. Walt Disney conceived the new school as the "arts community" - a new approach to vocational training. In addition to music and painting at the institute studied cinema and theater, sculpture and fashion. But above all Walt Disney animator. It would be dishonest in the article about him not to tell more about some of his films.
