WALT DISNEY WAS BORN TODAY DECEMBER 5, 1901 IN HERMOSIA, ILLINOIS. WALT CREATED SOME OF THE MOST FAMOUS CARTOON CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME INCLUDING MICKEY MOUSE THE MOST FAMOUS ICONS OF ALL TIME. WALT DISNEY WAS SUCH A CREATIVITY CARTOONIST,DIRECTOR,PRODUCER THAT HE WENT FROM BEING ON THE FARM TO SERVING IN THE MILITARY TO HOLLYWOOD,CA. AFTER WALT DISNEY’S MILITARY SERVICE WITH HIS BROTHER ROY DISNEY ANOTHER CO CREATOR OF THE DISNEY BRANDING THEY STARTED OFF ON A MAGICAL JOURNEY THAT WENT FROM THEIR FIRST CARTOON STEAM BOAT WILLY TO OWNING A BIG HOLLYWOOD STUDIO WITH LOTS OF ARTISTS AND STUDIO LOTS THAT PRODUCED CARTOONS AND MOVIES THAT EVENTUALLY BRANCHED OFF INTO TO TELEVISION SHOWS THAT CAME INTO OUR HOMES ON SUNDAY NIGHTS DURING THE BLACK AND WHITE TV GENERATION INCLUDING THE FAMOUS MICKEY MOUSE CLUB FOR FAMILY’S AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
