Might be one of the last at the locker bays, but on the rails with the 1920s



Walt Disney’s legacy began in the 1920’s. He at first was a showman and producer. Disney was the first person to create cartoon animation with sound. He is still well known now with his characters: Mickey Mouse and the others. Even though his companies made good money, they had become loaded with debt. Disney’s first character, before Mickey, was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit which was made in 1927. Disney lost the right to claim Oswald but reclaimed him after 78 years in 2006. Mickey was created after Disney lost Oswald in 1947. I feel that Disney was the one that had popularized animation and cartoons, if he didn’t create cartoons, there would be no cartoons. He is representative of the theme that argues that what you do is not as important as who notices it. The world noticed Disney.
