"Walt" Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American business magnate, cartoonist, and filmmaker.
He died on December 15, 1966, from lung cancer in Burbank, California.
Disney was born on December 5, 1901, at 2156 North Tripp Avenue in Chicago's Hermosa community area to Elias Disney, who was Irish-Canadian and Flora Call Disney, who was of German and English descent.
After losing the rights to Oswald, Disney felt the need to develop a new character to replace him, which was based on a mouse he had adopted as a pet while working in his Laugh-O-Gram studio in Kansas City Iwerks reworked the sketches made by Disney to make the character easier to animate, although Mickey's voice and personality were provided by Disney himself until 1947.
He first animated short to feature Mickey, Plane Crazy, was a silent film like all of Disney's previous works.
I did not know that he had a mouse as his pet which inspired him to create Mickey character! !! Awesome!!!
