How Did Walt Disney Change The World

Mr. Disney as we know it was full of creative ideas, produced wonderful films and amazing short films. From the beginning to the end of his life he had his ups and downs like anyone. Still without the hard times, he never would have overcome them and become a role model for so many young lives. Throughout his movies, each one was created from a problem that he had to overcome. However from this Walter Disney was able overcome his problems and grow, with the brilliant show of; competency, perseverance, and creativity. As well as share the important lessons he learned along the way.

In 1923 when Walt Disney was only 22 his cartoon series failed in Kansas City. This followed with bankruptcy, leaving Walt Disney with only 40 dollars in his pocket. Walter thought that other people could animate better than him,

therefore, Walt Disney got on a train heading to Los Angeles, California. Where his brother Roy was waiting for him. As he was there he thought he would pursue his earlier job idea of becoming an actor. The backup idea of become an actor was in case his animations failed again. However, it never occurred.
Without Walt Disney’s competency skills we never would have the animations we have today.

If he had given up on himself and became an actor the face of animation would be completely different. Even with his confidence shaken from the failure in Kansas City, Walt Disney never stopped improving his skills. His brother Roy even made their very own animation studio, because at the time there was none in Los Angeles. Walt Disney was always confident. Whether it was in himself, family members or just that good things were always going to come around. He never gave up hope.

With the creative ideas pouring out of Walt Disney every story had unique ideas that captivated the audience. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Walt Disney's first movie had a rocky start. He presented the premiere of the movie to some college students. However thought the movie was terrible when they all decided to leave halfway through the movie. Having the mindset that he failed again he left the school's ground. Later he found out though that the students had to leave because of curfew. Walt Disney’s creative ideas are what pushed him forwards, further into the success of

animation.

When publishers told him that he had no imagination, or they said that a big mouse on the screen would scare the ladies, Walt never gave up. Although he did have small failures within each success he didn’t let that stop him. He strived to become that best animator he could be. Little did anyone know that the stories that had “no” imagination or a mouse that would “scare” everyone would become the face of Disney Productions. Perseverance, in my opinion, is the most important resiliency skills. Without the will to keep trying you never would accomplish anything.

Walter Elias Disney’s memory will always lie somewhere in my heart for bringing these wonderful films into my life. As well as taught me many lessons throughout my life. His resiliency factors made him such an amazing person, that always tried to be the best person he could be. Growing so much from who he was before. If everyone was as competent, creative, and had amazing perseverance we all could become better people. The animated cartoons now are amazing as well but no one will ever take Walt Disney's place as the best animator.
