Answer 2

He was a young artist in Kansas City Missouri who got a job working for the local newspaper as an artist. Then he started making political cartoons for a movie theater (Newman's Laugh O Grams) that were shown before local movies. These were "lampoons" of politics and such of the day.

Then he moved to Los Angeles where the movie industry was growing and started making a variety of cartoon, the one the worked was called the Alice series and it featured a live action little girl (Alice) and a cartoon world.

These were distributed by a woman.

Then he created a variety of all cartoon characters and one of them was "Oswald Rabbit."

His woman distributor married and her husband took over and he claimed ownership of Oswald and turned that character over to another more compatible (and probalby cheaper) animator named Walter Lantz (who would create Woody Woopecker llater in life). It was even more sad because Disney and Lantz were friends in the industry, along with Harmon and Ising who would later move from smaller units like the Bray studios and found the Warner animation unit. All of these cartoon comrades would become rivals in a cut-throat industry of drawing audience favor and winning awards to make more money to make more cartoons.

Disney got peeved and decided never to "outsource" again. He founded his own production compnay in Burbank, his own distribution company (Buena Vista Releases, named after the big street in Burbank), his own record company (Buena Vista) and started making, distributing and controlling his own cartoons.

His first new character, which was also the first sound cartoon, was Mickey Mouse in Steam Boat Willie (a takeoff on the Buster Keaton film Steamboat Bill).

Then Disney made a pact with Technicolor that was trying to introduce 3 strip color to movies. Disney's cartoons would be excluive with Technicolor. The first release was Flower and Trees in 1931 which won an Oscar or at least an OScar nomination.

Other cartoon studios could not use the Technicolor Process for many years.

Disney then started work on feature animations, plus continued with short films developing Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other characters.

Disney went for broke and bought a $1 million dollar multi-level animation stand (against his brother's wishes, his brother was financial head). Of course Lotte Reiniger had built her own such unit and used it in her animation work in Germany, but this unit was a tooled, sophisticated, mechanical, motorized unit that would work miracles with foregrounds and backgrounds. Disney showcased it in his first feature animation.

Snow White, however, put Disney on the map as the first full color, sound musical, feature length cartoon (there were a few other first features, before this, including Lotte Reininger's "Adventures of Prince Achmed" but not in full color and not in sound and not musicals).

It was also at this point that Disney became primarily a producer and presenter and left the day to day directing and drawing jobs to better artists, like Bill Tytla, Ward Kimball (who I had the pleasure of meeting once) and others who stayed on staff for generations.

Disney jousted with Warners for control of the most popular cartoons and each side took turns winning favor with the audience. Disney's cartoons were higher art than Warner, but Warner had a flock of great directors (Chuck Jones, Tex Averay, Friz Freeling, Bob Clampett) and some dandy characters (Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Slyverster, etc.).

None the less both Disney and Warner dominated the theaterical scene until 1948 when TV came of age.

At that point both Disney and Warner's cut costs, dropped "high art" in favor of "limited animation" used by companies like UPA (Mr. Magoo).

Then along came high artists Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, teamed up at the MGM unit making the Tom and Jerry series. They founded a unit and decided to become a monopoly on TV, which no one wanted to touch. They made very limtied animations fast, cheeply, with lower paid "unit directors" by re-using arms, bodys and faces and even by outsourcing to Canada, Japan and Korea.

Their efforts Ruff n Ready and then Huckleberry Hound and finally the Flintstones took over from Disney and Warner, whose units dwindled to second place in favor of feature films.

Disney started a live action unit in the 1950s for theatrical features and eventually television.

Disney also appeared before the Senate Select Committee (the McCarthy hearings) on Communism in media, firmly stating that "none of his boys" would do things like that (put hidden commie stuff into cartoons or feature films).

Both Disney and Warner re-cycled their own cartoons into Television on the Mickey Mouse Club, Walt Disney Presents and the Wonderful World of Color.

Warner had the Bugs Bunny show.

Disney died bewteen the late 60s' and early 70's, but his Brother continued the company.

In the 1990's the Disney animatin unit came back into favor with 3-D and computer grapics. They wre given a new custom building to work out of across from the Burbank Airport.
