THE MAN

Beyond his countless achievements, there was Walt: the loving son, brother, husband, and simply “Daddy” to his girls. Above all, family came first. With strong family ties and a harmonious home life, he dared to dream, create, and explore throughout his career.

HIS STORIES 

Down on his luck with only $40 in his pocket, Walt set off from Missouri for Hollywood. With success came setbacks. Walt lost the rights to his first animated star, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Determined not to give up, he started sketching an idea that would later become the beloved Mickey Mouse.

HIS WORK 

From animated shorts to live-action features and all things in between, the breadth of Walt’s cinematic achievements will likely never be surpassed. A man of many titles—innovator, storyteller, entertainer—Walt was one of the most prolific filmmakers in history.
