Walt Disney Is My Hero Essay

Why do we have heroes? What makes a hero? Can anyone be a hero? We have heroes all around us. Heroes protect us from harm and provide us with guidance that help us walk through our daily lives. Heroes are selfless, brave, and noble. You do not have to be strong, have superpowers, or be able to protect the entire world from harm. Anyone can be a hero. You can be a hero to someone else without even realizing it.

My hero is Walter Elias Disney. The reason he is my hero is because he is a great inspiration. Even at times when things did not have a positive outcome, in times where he was bankrupt and everything seemed hopeless, he still carried on and had an optimistic point of view in life. No matter how bad things got, he just made the best of what he had and thanks to his optimism he had went on to be a icon in the animation industry. He has taught me to never give up, no matter how hopeless the situation seems to be.

Many people are able to relate to Mr. Disney very well. He began his career like you and I may have. He began working in an animation studio. There he began creating cartoons of his first character, ‘ Oswald the Rabbit’. Eventually however, Disney quit his job from the studio and lost the rights to his first successful cartoon character. This did not stop Walter. He

then moved into his uncle’s house. Disney began distributing his cartoons in his uncle’s garage. This was where he created the cartoon icon ‘ Mickey Mouse’. Disney’s success began to take off. He had broken barriers in the animation world and successfully met new challenges that other animators had never attempted or accomplished. Mr. Disney showed the world that anything is possible if you just believe in yourself.
Walt Disney impacted my life by his amazing ways of imagination and mind set.

He has proven to me that if I can dream it, I can do it. You can do anything you set your mind to if you just believe and take the first step. You are never going to get anything done if you just stand back and watch someone else do it. Walt Disney triumphed through all of his casualties and faults. He is a very amazing man who has proven to each new generation that their imaginations can take them on amazing journeys to far away lands. Walt Disney has impacted my life by distributing many amazing movies and animations. His animations show young viewers life lessons that we carry on for the rest of our

lives.
All of my dreams and aspirations of becoming an animator is greatly based on my respect for Walter Disney and other fellow animators. I hope to one day make people laugh and smile just like they have with their great imaginations and talent. Without animators this world may have been just a little less interesting.
