People the world over have been raised with the Disney company, comprising shows on television, cinema films, worn branded clothes and longed for the toys, creating demand at Christmas that has made history. Everyone is their own Disney expert, with valid opinions, detailed knowledge and feel-good memories.
The Disney brand is huge incorporating movie production, television channels, stores, specialised merchandise, performances, spectaculars and of course adventure resorts. It is likely that everyone has been in contact with the Disney brand at one time or another in their life.
Since 2000 the Disney brand has expanded even further buying out the Muppets, Pixar Animation Studios, Club Penguin and Lucas Film Ltd who were the production company responsible for the Stars Wars Franchise. They also launched cruise boat company; with two boats the Disney Dream whose maiden voyage was in 2011 and the Disney Fantasy, which made its maiden voyage in 2012.
Although most die-hard Disney fans will know that Mortimer who was later to be Mickey Mouse, appeared in Steamboat Willie alongside Minnie Mouse in 1928 they may not know that the then, Disney Brothers Studio, had in fact worked on animation since their first contract in 1923. Mickey Mouse was treated like a celebrity and had a star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. He was the first animated character to be honoured in this way.
In 1934 the grumpiest and most difficult to impersonate duck on the planet, Donald was introduced to the Disney family. The next year, in 1935, Mickey appeared in colour for the first time. The studio held the Technicolor patent for a couple of years and was therefore the only cartoonist making colour shows. Mickey was the very first animated character to speak with his first words being 'Hot Dog!' way back in 1929 in the episode called The Karnival Kid.
Such classic and popular characters as Mickey and Donald have also found themselves in cameo roles in later movies. For example for those experts with a keen eye watching the Little Mermaid you may spot Goofy, Mickey and Donald in the background of the introductory scenes. Don't worry, you have time to go and check.
Hidden messages are also considered common in Disney films although not all are admitted to. The Rescuers (made in 1977) contained in the background a picture of a naked lady. This necessitated withdrawing over 3 million copies of the film. In the pet shop window in 101 Dalmatians can be seen a number of characters from Lady and the Tramp.
Walt Elias Disney, the big boss also appeared in their classic movies, such as Fantasia, one of the studios finest, which was made in 1940. The sorcerer's name was Yen Sid which when read backwards provides Disney's name. The rather adorable film entitled Wall-E, is another, rather obvious reference to the founder of the company.
Walt Disney received twenty six Academy Awards, which is the record for the most awards in history. He also won three Golden Globes and he was also presented with an honorary Oscar and seven tiny Oscars for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1938). In total in his lifetime he was awarded with over 50 awards for his animation contributions. The awards and recognition are likely to continue as the company goes from strength to strength.
