Walt Disney: The Driving Force Behind Animation Innovation Sophia Johnson Senior Division Individual Performance Process Paper: 490 Words Walt Disney is someone I knew from a young age. I watched many of his movies and have been to his greatest creation five times. But I didn’t know how he got there. Or how many minds he blew in the process. This all changed one night in November. My Mom was reading a book to my brother and I was astonished to learn that Disney was responsible for the ideas that changed entertainment and amusement parks forever. That book was called, From an Idea to Disney: How Branding Made Disney a Household Name by Lowey Bundy Sichol. My idea would be Disney. It was decided, from then on my life revolved around Mr. Walter Elias Disney. Most of my research took place through the library. I started looking for primary sources, bibliographies, basic books, and drawings. But soon, I had to broaden my research so I went online and looked through local university libraries. I discovered another book, a primary source, full of drawings and images. As I continued to find more and more information, I decided that presenting on all Disney’s achievements was going to be way too much information. I committed to narrowing the scope to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Steamboat Willie. With these two innovations in mind, I dug deeper and deeper into each picture. My knowledge of Disney’s whole life and achievements helped me understand each source better. Finally, I arrived at the end of my journey. There is always more research that can be done but I had to focus on bringing it all together Performance was always my preferred category. It is where my strengths lie and what I have the most fun doing. I knew that I would be able to be the most creative using this format. I love performing and being in front of an audience is very exciting. Lastly, I choose performance because it is not selected by many people. I love a challenge as the result is more rewarding. Walt Disney was a man with a big imagination and even bigger dreams who never gave up. That imagination and spirit led him to break entertainment barriers with the first sound cartoon Steamboat Willie. Steamboat Willie was a result of Walt’s “Dream It, Do It” mindset. That mindset set him apart from his competitors. Producing a cartoon with full audio post-production sound was unheard of at the time. It was a technological barrier that was broken by an orchestra, hundreds of drawings, and a voice. As the first feature-full length animated picture, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs broke another animation barrier. By pushing the boundaries of what was technologically possible and ignoring doubters, Walter Elias Disney set himself apart and showed the world that animation could be, not only a cartoon but a movie. Through an endless imagination and years of hard work, Walt Disney changed entertainment history becoming the driving force behind animation innovation.

  • Steamboat Willie

    Steamboat Willie

    Steamboat Willie By Dave Smith, Chief Archivist Emeritus, The Walt Disney Company Walt Disney, who would become the best-known producer in animation history, had very humble beginnings. Starting his fledgling company in Hollywood in 1923, he began by making two uninspired animated series, the “Alice Come- dies,” and “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.” But it was with his third series, featuring an enduring character, Mickey Mouse, that Walt rose to fame. That series began with the release of "Steamboat Willie" at the Colony Theater in New York on November 18, 1928. Early in 1928, Walt Disney was disheartened. He had gone to New York to negotiate with his distributor, only to discover that the distributor had taken over the rights to his Oswald cartoons. Walt began thinking of a possible successor to Oswald while riding on the train on his way back to California. There have been many stories of the inception of Mickey Mouse, but on that train ride, Walt may have been recalling a playful little mouse that had made itself at home in Walt’s Kansas City Studio, where he had first started to experiment with animation. On re- turning to California, Walt met with several of his staff members, and they came up with Mickey Mouse. Ub Iwerks, Walt’s chief animator, was tasked with actually designing the character, with input from Walt. Two Mickey Mouse cartoons were made starting that This illustration, titled “Mickey Mouse inbetweener drawing no. 469 spring, “Plane Crazy” and “The Gallopin’ Gaucho.” Walt or 479 from Steamboat Willie” appears courtesy Library of Congress tried desperately to sell a distributor on a series based on Prints & Photographs Online Catalog.
  • The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930S

    The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930S

    Exploration in Imagination: The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930s By Kendall Wagner In the 1930s, Americans experienced major changes in their lifestyles when the Great Depression took hold. A feeling of malaise gripped the country, as unemployment rose, and money became scarce. However, despite the economic situation, movie attendance remained strong during the decade.1 Americans attended films to escape from their everyday lives. While many notable live-action feature-length films like The Public Enemy (1931) and It Happened One Night (1934) delighted Depression-era audiences, animated cartoon shorts also grew in popularity. The most important contributor to the evolution of animated cartoons in this era was Walt Disney, who innovated and perfected ideas that drastically changed cartoon production.2 Disney expanded on the simple gag-based cartoon by implementing film technologies like synchronized sound and music, full-spectrum color, and the multiplane camera. With his contributions, cartoons sharply advanced in maturity and professionalism. The ultimate proof came with the release of 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the culmination of the technical and talent development that had taken place at the studio. The massive success of Snow White showed that animation could not only hold feature-length attention but tell a captivating story backed by impressive imagery that could rival any live-action film. However, it would take nearly a decade of experimentation at the Disney Studios before a project of this size and scope could be feasibly produced. While Mickey Mouse is often solely associated with 1930s-era Disney animation, many are unaware that alongside Mickey, ran another popular series of shorts, the Silly Symphony cartoons.

He is a mischievous mouse who gets into trouble easily. He is also very imaginative and quick enough to solve the problems. He typically wears red shorts, white gloves and large yellow shoes, and has only four fingers on each hand. Mickey was initially barefooted and bare handed. His gloves were introduced in the cartoon 'The Opry House', in 1929. He went on to wear them in most of his subsequent appearances until today. Mickey’s Creation Mickey Mouse was created by animators Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios, in 1928, as a replacement for 'Oswald, the Lucky Rabbit', an earlier character created by Walt Disney. He came up with the idea of Mickey Mouse while on a train from New York to Hollywood. Mickey Mouse Pick of the Month Mickey’s Journey Mickey first featured in a silent short titled 'Plane Crazy'. He later made his appearance in the short film titled 'Steamboat Willie', which was one of the first cartoons with sound. It was released on 18 November, 1928. Although Mickey laughed and squealed in his initial films, his first spoken words were ‘Hot Dogs!’ in the film ‘The Karnival Kid’, in 1929.

    The Child Voice as Social Construct Ardelle Ries University of Alberta, Alberta, Canada Sociology provides a contextual milieu for pedagogy and provides a cultural explanation for pedagogical motives and method. In the world of sociology, the figurative voices of women and other minority groups have been thoroughly examined via feminist theory dealing with the oppressor and the oppressed. Within the last 20 years, children's voices are now included in the same paradigm providing much research and writing that focuses on the agency and empowerment of children, adult control, and the plasticity of children's behaviour. From a musician's perspective, I was curious about the correlation between the figurative and literal notion of voice prompting many questions pertaining to the true nature of the child singing voice. What social attitudes exist concerning children's singing voices? Who defines the child singing voice? Who decides and what controls the acceptable nature of the child singing voice? The following logic is used to place the child singing voice within a social context: • The human singing voice embodies and reflects the society and culture that surrounds it. • The human singing voice can be creative and original, but it also imitates and mirrors the predominant society or culture in which it resides. • Because childhood is a stage or time of life created within a societal and cultural framework, the child singing voice can consequently be considered a reflection of childhood within society. • As Western society changes, so do attitudes toward children and their childhoods; therefore, perceptions of the child singing voice change alongside shifting attitudes toward children and childhood within society.
