100 years ago today in 1923, a man named Walt Disney founded Disney Animation Studios. Can you believe it? 100 years! And Walt Disney always says: "It all started with a mouse." And that mouse was Mickey Mouse. It all started in the 1920s when Disney started making shorts of Mickey Mouse like Steamboat Willie, until 1937 when he released his first feature-length movie, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. It was a risk for it could've been good or bad. But, Walt Disney was willing to take that risk and it was a huge success. Then Disney created Disneyland in 1955. I've watched a lot of Disney movies during my childhood, most of them were movies of the Disney Renaissance: The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), and Tarzan (1999). I've also watched Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Mulan. I've also watched The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Frozen, Tinkerbell (2008), Zootopia, Moana, Bolt, Lilo and Stich, The Emperor's New Groove, Peter Pan: Return to Neverland, Frozen II, The Fox and the Hound II, Mulan II, The Lion King II, Tarzan II, and The Little Mermaid II. I even watched The Fox and the Hound, Pinocchio (1940), Peter Pan (1953), Dumbo (1941), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Bambi, Cinderella (1950), Sleeping Beauty (1959), The Aristocats (1970), and Oliver and Company. My great-grandparents were born in the 1920s while my grandparents were born in 1950. In fact, my grandpa was there when Disneyland was being built, back when it used to be an orange grove. He and my grandma were only 5 when Disneyland first opened. I'm a huge Disney fan and have watched a lot of Disney movies and shows since I was a toddler. I also just watched Once Upon A Studio and it was amazing to see all of my favorite characters from those Disney movies I have watched in my childhood. I would like to say thank you to Walt Disney for starting this company that created all of those movies I enjoyed watching during my childhood.
