He made the decision to reinvest money made from merchendise back into making new innovations for animation. At the time animation was seen as a cheap medium for entertainment, and worth nothing more than a few cheap laughs. Walt Disney didn't agree and set about enhancing the importance of animation. Most notably by the way in which he put so much money made from merchandise back into the prodcution company!

Walt Disney only attended one year of high school.
In 1923, in California, Walt and Roy formed the Disney Brothers Studio. At Roy's insistence, the company soon became the Walt Disney Studio, since he felt that Walt's name should be emphasized. This is officially recognized as the starting date of The Walt Disney Company.
He grew his famous mustache at age 25.
He was the voice of Mickey Mouse for two decades.
He often ate lunch at his desk -- his favorite meal was chili and beans, which he ate with tomato juice and soda crackers.
He admitted to being "scared to death" when he had to face the camera to introduce episodes of the "Disneyland" television series.
He won more Oscars than anyone else -- 32.

You should read the March 2007 Nat'l Geographic. It has an article about how Walt Disney has affected present day America. That might help a little.

One known fact is: He is the most brilliant man on earth. He has made a lot of people relive their childfood fantasies. (speeking for an adult of course) I've been to Disney several times and I enjoyed each and every minute of it, every time. Couldn't tell much of the guy other than that.
