  8. In late 1966 Disney was scheduled to undergo neck surgery for an old polo injury; he had played frequently at the Riveria Club in Hollywood for many years.On November 2, 1966, during pre-surgery X-rays, doctors at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center across the street from the Disney Studio discovered that Disney had an enormous tumor on his left lung. Five days later, Disney went back to the hospital for surgery, but the tumor had spread to such great extent that doctors had to remove his entire left lung. The doctors then told Disney that he only had six months to a year to live. After several chemotherapy sessions, Disney and his wife spent a short amount of time in Palm Springs, California before returning home. On November 30, 1966, Disney collapsed in his home, but was revived by paramedics, and was taken back to the hospital, where he died on December 15, 1966 at 9:30 a.m., ten days after his 65th birthday.

  9. Walt Disney Didn't Graduate From High School
    In a world where higher education is strongly linked to career success, Walt Disney is a perfect example of an exception to that rule. He attended McKinley High School until he dropped out at age 16. However, Walt Disney, who created the beloved "Mickey Mouse" character in 1928, and built the Disney Empire, won honorary degrees from several universities such as Yale, Harvard and UCLA.

  27. Mickey Mouse (aka Mickey Mouse or Mickey Mouse) is a fictional character from disney Disney Company emblem. Created in 1928, this anthropomorphic mouse has a disputed origin. The official legend says it was created by Walt Disney during a train journey, and that his original name was Mortimer but switched to Mickey at the request of his wife, Lillian. According to Bob Thomas, the legend of the name is fictitious, and cites the case of a character named Mortimer Mouse, who was born in 1936, uncle of Minnie Mouse.1 The most plausible is that the character was created by cartoonist Ub Iwerks, to Disney's request to offset the loss of the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, at the hands of Universal. The truth is that Mickey is just a variation on the character of Walt Disney Oswald.2 A should be attributed both the character's voice (voice gave him 17 years) as the personality and character of the mouse:
    His head was a circle with another circle like a snout. His body was like a pear and had a long tail, his paws were the pipes and got into big shoes to give the appearance of a boy with his father's shoes.
    The Walt Disney Company celebrates the birth of Mickey on 18 November 1928, following the release of Steamboat Willie, the first sound cartoon short, and third appearance of the Walt Disney ratón.3 voiced the character from 1929 to 1946, when it was replaced by the sound engineer Jimmy MacDonald. Since 1983 is the voice of Wayne Allwine. Over the years Mickey has appeared in cartoons, comics, video games, and has become the icon for The Walt Disney Company.

  29. In 1923 he began to produce animated motion pictures in Hollywood in partnership with his brother Roy O. Disney (1893–1971).

Disneys most popular and enduring character, Mickey Mouse, made his debut in a series of animated cartoons produced by the filmmaker’s own company in 1928; by far the most popular of these was Steamboat Willie, which utilized sound for the first time in an animated film.http://www.history.com/encyclopedia.do?articleId=207660

  31. the man behind the legend--the unschooled cartoonist from Kansas City who went bankrupt on his first movie venture but became the genius who produced unmatched works of animation. Complete with a rare collection of photographs, Bob Thomas' biography is a fascinating and inspirational work that captures the spirit of Walt Disney.
