Walt Disney's Cartoon Magic
Walt Disney lived on a farm when he was a young boy. From an early age, Walt liked to draw animals. He watched the farm animals carefully. He made lifelike drawings of them. Walt’s family had no money for paper, but Walt was clever. He drew a pig on the wall of his house. Walt’s parents were not happy! Then Walt’s aunt gave him drawing paper.
When Walt grew up, he got a job drawing animals for animated cartoons. Creative ideas filled Walt’s head. The other cartoons were silent, so Walt made a cartoon with music and talking characters. This cartoon was called Steamboat Willie. The star was Mickey Mouse. Mickey talked and sang. People loved him.
Walt liked to try new things. Most cartoons were only a few minutes long. Walt wanted to make a two-hour animated film. Some people said it was a bad idea, but Walt believed in himself. He made Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The audience cheered at the end. As they left the theater, they hummed “Whistle While You Work.”
Disney’s new ideas changed animated films forever. He was full of energy and over the years made popular cartoon films. People have been watching Peter Pan, Bambi, and other Disney films for years. People will watch them for years to come. They’ll keep singing songs like “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
