Who was Walt Disney?
From a young age, Walt Disney was drawn to art and storytelling. As a teenager, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago, where he honed his skills as a cartoonist and illustrator. After a brief stint working for an advertising agency, Disney moved to California in 1923 to pursue a career in animation.
In California, Disney founded his first animation studio, Laugh-O-Gram Studio, where he produced a series of short films featuring his first character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. However, after a dispute with his distributor, Disney lost the rights to Oswald and was forced to come up with a new character. This led to the creation of Mickey Mouse, who made his debut in the 1928 short film Steamboat Willie.
Mickey Mouse quickly became a sensation, and Disney's studio proliferated. Over the next few decades, Disney created a host of new characters, including Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. He also ventured into feature-length animation, producing classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and Fantasia.
Disney's influence extended far beyond animation. In the 1950s, he began work on Disneyland, a theme park unlike any other. Located in Anaheim, California, Disneyland opened in 1955 and quickly became one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Disney followed up on this success with the opening of Disney World in Florida in 1971, cementing his legacy as an innovator in entertainment.
Despite his success, Disney faced numerous challenges throughout his life. He suffered from depression and struggled with the pressures of running a major studio. He was also the subject of political controversy, accused of anti-Semitism and other prejudices.
Despite these challenges, Disney continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in the world of entertainment. He was a true visionary, always looking for new ways to tell stories and create memorable experiences for his audience. Today, his legacy lives on through the various Disney properties, including movies, television shows, theme parks, and more.

Charlie took to the written word like a fish takes to water. That is to say; they found themselves immersed in literature from before they were born. They've been known to tell their friends how they can still remember the passages their parents read to them when they were in utero - Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and a bit of Hunter S. Thompson thrown in to balance it out. Charlie keeps their feet wet, whether they're whipping up pithy one-liners to tease your brain or busy working on their second novel (the first one is available on Amazon under a pen name they refuse to disclose). You’re sure to get a kick out of giggle-worthy explanations and outrageous hints, and still come away feeling like you’ve just expanded your knowledge base.
