Chronicle
For the development of this evidence, we will take as an example the life of an
iconic character of the twentieth century, Mr. Walter Elias Disney was born on
December 5, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois. The fourth of five children born to Elias
and Flora Disney, his childhood was spent amid economic hardships and
under the severity of his father, a carpenter by profession, who tried his luck in
all kinds of businesses without ever managing to improve his battered
economy. Eternally despised by his father, Walt grew up very close to his
mother, a former teacher of German descent, and his brother Roy, eight years
older than him.
In 1906, Elias Disney decided to start a new life on a farm near the small town
of Marceline, Missouri, where Walt discovered nature and animals. It was also
then that his interest in drawing was born, which he shared with his younger
sister, Ruth.
His dream was to become an artist for the Kansas City Star, the newspaper
he had delivered as a child, but he found work as an apprentice at an
advertising agency, the Pesmen-Rubin Commercial Art Studio. With a salary
of $50 a month, in that job he met Ub Iwerks, a young man his own age and
exceptionally gifted at drawing, with whom he became friends.
In 1923, Disney emigrated to Hollywood. The booming film industry had
turned Hollywood into a land of promise. Disney believed that with his
experience as a cameraman he would get work as a director, but no studio
wanted his services, so he decided to set up his own company again with his
brother Roy as a partner. On October 16, 1923, the Disney Brothers Studio
signed its first important contract, but still insufficient to face its financial
difficulties. Already then, Walt showed what would later become a constant in
his company: that he was capable of resorting to any stratagem to get the
business ahead. In 1924, Ubbe Iwerks joined them and Walt was able to stop
working as an animator to devote himself to the area for which he had always
been most qualified: the creation of characters and plots and directing.
Mr. Walt's lucky break came on November 18 of that year, when the animated
short film he wrote himself was released. It was the debut of the mythical
character Mickey Mouse, who had already abandoned his first name. Disney
provided the original voice of Mickey from 1928 to 1947.
As it happened to the works of all great geniuses, there was a rumor that the
endearing mouse did not come from Walt's pencils, but no one could ever
prove it. Since then, Mickey became a symbol, even, according to an
American survey, the best-known character in the world. One of the most
unknown anecdotes is that Walt himself lent his voice to Mickey in more than
a hundred titles.
