Disney Final
Marc Davis
He was one of Disney's Nine Old Men, the famed core animators of Disney animated films, and was revered for his knowledge and understanding of visual aesthetics. Davis, a brilliant draftsman, also designed the characters for many Disneyland ride and show animatronics:
Mulan
Fa Mulan is the eighth Disney Princess and first appeared in Disney's 36th animated feature film Mulan (1998). The movie is adapted from the legend of Hua Mulan (386-536). Mulan, atypical and unlike most previous female roles, is courageous and more self-reliant. The depiction of Mulan as a man through a large portion of the movie aids in removing much of the stigma behind hyper-sexualization of Disney princesses. However, the matchmaking scenes in the beginning, as well as the mistreatment of Mulan as a woman prior to her rebellion may lean towards negative representations of Chinese culture, a fate that many of these more ethnic princesses face.
John Lounsbery
He is best known as one of Disney's Nine Old Men. Lounsbery was hired by Disney on July 2, 1935, beginning as an assistant animator on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He went on to work on numerous other short features in the 1940s, while continuing to serve as part of the animating team on nearly all of Disney's most famous feature-length animated films. In the 1970s, he was promoted to director and directed Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too! and co-directed The Rescuers.
CG
Computer-generated animation is known as 3-dimensional (3D) animation. Creators will design an object or character with an X,Y and Z axis. Unlike the traditional way of animation no pencil to paper drawings create the way computer generated animation works. The object or character created will then be taken into a software, key framing and tweening are also carried out in computer generated animation but are also a lot of techniques used that do not relate to traditional animation.
CGI
Computer-generated imagery (CGI for short) is the application of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, films, television programs, shorts, commercials, videos, and simulators. The visual scenes may be dynamic or static, and may be two-dimensional (2D), though the term "CGI" is most commonly used to refer to 3D computer graphics used for creating scenes or special effects in films and television.
Pixar and Toy Story
Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated adventure buddy comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by John Lasseter, Toy Story was the first feature-length computer-animated film and the first theatrical film produced by Pixar. Pixar, which produced short animated films to promote their computers, was approached by Disney to produce a computer-animated feature after the success of the short film, Tin Toy (1988), which is told from a small toy's perspective.
Glen Keane
is an American animator, author and illustrator. Keane is best known for his character animation at Walt Disney Animation Studios for feature films including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Tarzan and Tangled.
Mary Blair
joined the Disney story department in 1940, but it wasn't until the 1941 "Good Neighbor" tour of South America by Walt and El Grupo that she found her unique and incredibly arresting, captivatingly colorful style
Albert Hurter
Albert Hurter (May 11, 1883 - March 4, 1942) was the first ever inspirational sketch artist to work at the Walt Disney Studio. He is most famous for his significant contribution to the visual styles of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio. His sketches were known to reflect a morbid sense of humour.
EPCOT
The Epcot is the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World in Bay Lake, Florida, near the city of Orlando. It opened as EPCOT Center (Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow) on October 1, 1982. Twice the size of MK. It is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, namely technological innovation and international culture, and is often referred to as a "permanent World's Fair." In 2014, the park hosted approximately 11.45 million guests, ranking it the third most visited theme park in North America and the sixth most visited theme park in the world.The park is represented by Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere that also serves as an attraction. Epcot was known as EPCOT Center until 1994 Epcot Center is inspired by Walt Disney's creative genius. Here, human achievements are celebrated through imagination, the wonders of enterprise, and concepts of a future that promises new and exciting benefits for all.
Aquarela do Brasil
Aquarela do Brasil (or "Watercolor of Brazil"), the finale of the film, involves a brand-new character, José Carioca from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, showing Donald Duck around South America, having a drink of cachaça with him and introducing him to the samba
Retta Scott
Bambi marked the work of Disney's first woman animator, Chouinard-trained Retta Scott.
Belle
Belle is the fifth Disney Princess, first introduced in Disney's 30th animated feature film Beauty and the Beast (1991). Based on the heroine of the French fairy tale by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, Belle was created by screenwriter Linda Woolverton and originally animated by James Baxter and Mark Henn. Originally voiced by Paige O'Hara, Belle is currently voiced by Julie Nathanson. Personality-wise, Belle has been regarded as an independent, intelligent, courageous and headstrong, as well as a feminist. Disney cites Belle as a role model for the mantra, "don't judge a book by its cover." Best received Disney princess
Davy Crockett craze
"Davy Crockett" and other pioneers of the Old West, and American history in general appeared in "Frontier Land". Later original programs consisted of dramatizations of other historical figures and legends along the lines of the Davy Crockett mini-series on the Disneyland TV show. Two things happened after this episode aired: First, based on the sheer overwhelming desire by children to emulate Fess Parker's Davy Crockett, a rapid merchandising campaign went into production and, within weeks, Davy Crockett's likeness was plastered on everything from pocket knives to underwear. Second, although it was only realized after the fact, Disney had created something that no one that ever seen on television before--something that would later be termed the mini-series. You may wonder, though, why was it such a phenomenon? Well, because Disney inadvertently, in an attempt to entertain both parents and children, had created television's first adult western. Davy Crockett was also vulnerable: the death of his wife is shown as an overwhelming sorrow, depicted by the slumped shoulders and vacant stares of a man we already saw as 7-feet tall. Fess Parker's Crockett was also a man that stuck to his ideals and, as a politician, fought for the very things he told his voters he would. Disney went ahead and ended it's trilogy with something that could never be sugar coated: Crockett's death.
Ariel
Ariel is the fourth Disney Princess, as well as the title character in Disney's 28th animated feature film The Little Mermaid, released in 1989. She is the youngest of King Triton's seven daughters. Ariel is regarded as one of the least-feminist ones depicted. She sings "Part of Your World" which pleads for a chance to explore her curiosity in the outside world, though critics cite that curiosity is largely driven by her desire to marry a man that she has never even spoken to. Without her voice, many fear that she is reliant on her beauty and sexuality only and, in the end, is saved by her male lover, Prince Eric, only to spend the rest of her life on the human world under his control. Disney, however, claims Ariel spreads a message of, "explor[ing] new worlds,"
Aurora
Aurora, originally voiced by Mary Costa and animated by Marc Davis, is the third Disney Princess. She first appeared in Disney's 16th animated feature film Sleeping Beauty (1959). The motion picture is adapted from the French fairy tale The Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault (1697), from the German fairy tale Little Briar Rose (1812) by The Brothers Grimm and from The Sleeping Beauty ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1890). "Aurora in the film is not a person, per se; she is the prize that the other characters fight over. She is an object, really, and that is not feminist at all," which further solidifies fear of media on viewers. Disney, on their website with a collection of the Disney princesses, claims Aurora to inspire young girls to, "always wonder."
Cinderella
Cinderella is the second Disney Princess. Her movie, Disney's 12th animated feature film, is named after her, Cinderella, released in 1950. She is often considered the "Leader of the Disney Princesses". Cinderella is based on the heroine of the French fairy tale Cinderella by Charles Perrault. Like Snow White, Cinderella faces feminist criticism for chasing after a man for freedom, displaying household chores, and means of beauty as the only way to attract a man that viewers may see the need to perpetuate. Disney, however, cites Cinderella as a persistent princess in the light of injustice, believing she sends the message to, "never give up.
Fred Moore
Despite limited formal art training, he rose to prominence at Disney very quickly in the early thirties due to his great natural talent and the tremendous appeal of his drawings, which are still greatly admired by animators and animation fans.
Disney Princesses
Disney Princess is a media franchise owned by The Walt Disney Company. Created by Disney Consumer Products chairman Andy Mooney in the early 2000s, the franchise features a line-up of fictional female protagonists who have appeared in various Disney franchises. The franchise does not include all princess characters from the whole of Disney-owned media, but rather refers to specific characters from the company's animated films. As of 2015, the eleven characters considered part of the franchise are Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel and Merida Former Nike, Inc. executive Andy Mooney was appointed chairman of The Walt Disney Company's Disney Consumer Products division in the late 1990s.[6][7] While attending his first Disney on Ice show, Mooney noticed that several young girls attending the show were dressed in princess attire that were not authentic Disney products.[8] "They were generic princess products they'd appended to a Halloween costume," Mooney told The New York Times. Concerned by this, Mooney addressed the company the following morning and encouraged them to commence work on a legitimate Disney Princess franchise in January 2000
Mark Henn
Disney animator, whose contributions to animation have included several Disney leading or title characters, most notably heroines. His work includes Princess Jasmine in Aladdin, Young Simba in The Lion King and the title character in Mulan.
Disneyland
Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s. Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955. Since its opening, Disneyland has undergone a number of expansions and major renovations, including the addition of New Orleans Square in 1966, Bear Country (now Critter Country) in 1972, and Mickey's Toontown in 1993. Opened in 2001, Disney California Adventure Park was built on the site of Disneyland's original parking lot. Disneyland has a larger cumulative attendance than any other theme park in the world, with over 650 million guests since it opened. In 2013, the park hosted approximately 16.2 million guests, making it the third most visited park in the world that calendar year. The concept for Disneyland began when Walt Disney was visiting Griffith Park in Los Angeles with his daughters Diane and Sharon. While watching them ride the merry-go-round, he came up with the idea of a place where adults and their children could go and have fun together, though his dream lay dormant for many years.
Ollie Johnston
He was one of Disney's Nine Old Men. He contributed to most Disney animated features, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia and Bambi. His last full work for Disney came with The Rescuers, in which he was caricatured as one of the film's characters, the cat Rufus. The very last film he worked on was The Fox and the Hound.
Ward Kimball
He was one of Walt Disney's team of animators, known as Disney's Nine Old Men. Kimball created several classic Disney characters including the Crows in Dumbo; Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland; the Mice, Lucifer the Cat and Bruno the Dog from Cinderella; and Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio.
Frank Thomas
He was one of Walt Disney's team of animators; known as the Nine Old Men. In feature films, among the characters and scenes Thomas animated were the dwarfs crying over Snow White's "dead" body, Pinocchio singing at the marionette theatre, Bambi and Thumper on the ice, Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti,
Disney After Disney
In December 1966, Walt Disney died of lung cancer at age 65. At the time of his death, the Disney World project had not yet begun construction in Florida. Disney's brother, Roy Disney, oversaw its construction, renaming the park Walt Disney World in his late brother's honor. When it finally opened in 1971, much of the park, including the Magic Kingdom (a larger and more elaborate version of Disneyland), reflected Disney's original plans. One of Disney's biggest dreams for the Florida property was never fully realized, however. EPCOT, or the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow," was Disney's answer to what he saw as the growing urban crisis of the 1960s. In initial plans for Disney World, EPCOT was very different than the "EPCOT Center" that would eventually open in 1982. EPCOT was intended to be a fully functional community with 20,000 residents designed to showcase American industry and technology, employ the latest building innovations, and find solutions to urban problems.
El Gaucho Goofy
In this segment, American cowboy Goofy gets taken mysteriously to the Argentine pampas to learn the ways of the native gaucho. This segment was later edited for the film's Gold Classic Collection VHS/DVD release to remove one scene in which Goofy is smoking a cigarette.[6] This edit appears again on the Classic Caballeros Collection DVD. This sequence has since been restored as many fans have asked for the uncut version. The complete uncut film is available as a bonus feature on the Walt & El Grupo DVD release
Lake Titicaca
In this segment, American tourist Donald Duck visits Lake Titicaca and meets some of the locals, including an obstinate llama.
Tyrus Wong
It was his lush pastels that served as inspiration for Bambi (1942) where he was the lead artist of the project. Wong was let go by Disney studios shortly after finishing Bambi, due to repercussions from the Disney animators' strike. Later, he designed popular greeting cards for Hallmark
Jasmine
Jasmine is the sixth Disney Princess and the leading lady of Disney's 31st animated feature film Aladdin (1992). Jasmine is fierce, bold, and confident, she rarely allowing anyone to tell her how to live her life. Jasmine is one of the first Disney princesses to identify as a minority and to be a part of a movie taking place in an area other than western Europe. While a part of the new line of progressive princesses, shown by how Jasmine is more likely to leave the castle and has immense curiosity about the world beyond the palace walls, critics have judged her for her reliance on a man, sexuality that is displayed more than in the other princesses prior, and for her false representation of Middle Eastern culture Disney claims its intention with Jasmine is to inspire viewers to, "see the good in others."
Merida
Merida is the eleventh Disney princess, first appearing in the Pixar film Brave (2012). Voiced by Kelly Macdonald, the character's singing voice is provided by Julie Fowlis. She is the first Disney princess in the line-up to not have a love interest in her film, which helps Disney's attempt to depict more progressive princesses. Further, her stubbornness and independence has generally resonated with feminists, as well as her near entire rejection of "princess duties" like marrying a man and looking proper. She is also the first Pixar and the second CGI princess. Unlike the other princesses, Merida does not sing in her film. By her actions throughout the film, Disney makes Merida the spokesperson of bravery.
Pedro
Pedro involves the title character, a small airplane from an airport near Santiago, Chile, engaging in his very first flight to pick up air mail from Mendoza, with disastrous results occurring when near Aconcagua again while chasing a vulture on the way back. And to make matters worse, Pedro gets caught in a terrible storm! But he makes it back to the airfield safe and sound with the mail which is just a postcard. This segment was later released theatrically as an independent short, on May 13, 1955 by RKO Pictures. Disappointed with Pedro as the image that the outside world had of Chile, cartoonist René Ríos Boettiger (known popularly as "Pepo") started one of the most famous Latin American comic magazines: Condorito.
Pocahontas
Pocahontas is the seventh Disney Princess and first appeared in Disney's 33rd animated feature film Pocahontas (1995). Based on the Native American chief's daughter, Pocahontas (c. 1595-1617), and the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. Pocahontas is displayed as a noble, independent and highly spiritual young woman. Like Jasmine, Pocahontas, and her film, are criticized for the depiction of over-sexualized females in a culturally diverse world. Disney claims Pocahontas as a role model to, "respect the earth."
Rapunzel
Rapunzel is the tenth Disney Princess. First appearing in Disney's 50th animated feature film Tangled (2010), Rapunzel is based on the heroine of the German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. The character has been generally well received by most critics. Particular praise was awarded to her spirited personality and contemporaneity. Disney describes her as promoting, "jump[ing] into new adventures."
Saludos Amigos (Latin American Film)
Saludos Amigos (Hello, Friends in English) is a 1942 animated feature package film produced by Walt Disney and released by RKO Radio Pictures. It is the sixth animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. It is the first of six package films made by Walt Disney Animation Studios in the 1940s. Set in Latin America, it is made up of four different segments; Donald Duck stars in two of them and Goofy stars in one. It also features the first appearance of José Carioca, the Brazilian cigar-smoking parrot. In early 1941, before U.S. entry into World War II, the United States Department of State commissioned a Disney goodwill tour of South America, intended to lead to a movie to be shown in the US, Central, and South America as part of the Good Neighbor Policy. This was being done because several Latin American governments had close ties with Nazi Germany, and the US government wanted to counteract those ties. Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters were popular in Latin America, and Walt Disney acted as ambassador.
Sylvia Moberly-Holland
She was not only an excellent artist, but also an accomplished musician—something that would prove useful in the development of Walt's third animated feature, originally known as "The Concert Feature." Moberly-Holland joined Disney in 1938, and contributed many story ideas that would be realized in the segment that would eventually be animated to Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony." She soon led the story team for the "Waltz of the Flowers" segment ofFantasia's "Nutcracker Suite" and, along with Bianca Majoli and sketch and background artist Ethel Kulsar, developed art, character designs and backgrounds for the sequence.
Snow White
Snow White is the first and original Disney Princess. A main character in Walt Disney Animation Studios' 1st animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Janet Maslin of The New York Times claims, "Aside from her great daintiness and her credentials as a fervent housekeeper, Snow White has no distinct personality. She exists only to be victimized by her wicked stepmother - a far more interesting character - and to wait for Mr. Right," that supports feminist theory,[16] but despite public feminist responses to the character, Disney regards Snow White as kind, sweet, and respectful, encouraging children to, "be a friend to all," in the same way she is depicted in the film.
The World's Fair 1964
The 1964/1965 New York World's Fair was the third major world's fair to be held in New York City. Hailing itself as a "universal and international" exposition, the fair's theme was "Peace Through Understanding", dedicated to "Man's Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe"; American companies dominated the exposition as exhibitors. The fair also is remembered as the venue Walt Disney used to design and perfect his system of "Audio-Animatronics", in which a combination of electromechanical actuators and computers controls the movement of lifelike robots to act out scenes. Disneyland still hosts the original "It's a small world" and "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" transferred from New York, as well as the now-unused track of the original Disneyland PeopleMover based on the Ford's Magic Skyway. The original Carousel of Progress was first moved to Disneyland in 1967 and then to its current home at the (Florida) Magic Kingdom in 1973. Disney later used technologies developed for the fair to create the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Epcot Center's original attractions borrowed heavily from the audio-animatronic advances of the fair and its general design guidelines.
CAPS
The Computer Animation Production System (CAPS) was a digital ink and paint system used in animated feature films, the first at a major studio, designed to replace the expensive process of transferring animated drawings to cels using India ink or xerographic technology, and painting the reverse sides of the cels with gouache paint. Using CAPS, enclosed areas and lines could be easily colored in the digital computer environment using an unlimited palette. Transparent shading, blended colors and other sophisticated techniques could be extensively used that were not previously available.
Mickey Mouse Club (TV)
The Mickey Mouse Club was an American variety television show that aired intermittently from 1955 to 1996. Created by Walt Disney and produced by Walt Disney Productions, the program was first televised from 1955 to 1959 by ABC, featuring a regular but ever-changing cast of mostly teen performers. Reruns were broadcast by ABC on weekday afternoons during the 1958-59 season, right after American Bandstand. The show was revived after its initial 1955-1959 run on ABC, first from 1977 to 1979 for first-run syndication, and airing again exclusively on Disney Channel from 1989 to 1993. The Mickey Mouse Club was Walt Disney's second venture into producing a television series, the first being the Walt Disney anthology television series, initially titled Disneyland. Disney used both shows to help finance and promote the building of the Disneyland theme park. The result was a variety show for children, with such regular features as a newsreel, a cartoon, and a serial, as well as music, talent and comedy segments. One unique feature of the show was the Mouseketeer Roll Call, in which many (but not all) of that day's line-up of regular performers would introduce themselves by name to the television audience.
Reedy Creek Improvement District
The Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) is the immediate governing jurisdiction for the land of the Walt Disney World Resort. As of the late 1990s, it comprised an area of 38.6 sq mi (100 km2) within the outer limits of Orange and Osceola counties in Florida. The RCID includes the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, and unincorporated RCID land. After the success of Disneyland in California, Walt Disney began planning a second park on the East Coast. He also disliked the businesses that had sprung up around Disneyland, and therefore wanted control of a much larger area of land for the new project. Disney owns and controls EVERYTHING in the parks (transportation, security, etc)
Bianca Majolie
The first woman to join the story department at Walt Disney (in 1935). Majolie came up with a touching original story about a baby elephant who is teased because of his looks—but whose awkward-appearing trunk proves surprisingly useful against a fire that threatens the girl he loves. The story was developed into the 1936 Silly Symphony, Elmer Elephant.
Original Princesses
The original line-up consisted of princesses Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan and Tinker Bell, five of whom are royal by blood, two whom have married into royalty, and two who fit the "princess mythology." Tinker was soon removed from the latter category and the overall line-up.
Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color/Walt Disney's Disneyland
The original version of the series premiered on ABC on Wednesday, October 27, 1954. Originally hosted by Walt Disney himself, the original format of the Disney anthology series consisted of a balance of theatrical animated cartoons, live-action features, and other informational material (some original, some pre-existing) from the studio's library. For many years, the show also featured edited one-hour versions of such then-recent Disney films as Alice in Wonderland, and in other cases, telecasts of complete Disney films that were split into two or more one-hour episodes. Later original programs consisted of dramatizations of other historical figures and legends along the lines of the Davy Crockett mini-series. Disney wanted to produce a television program in order to finance the development of the Disneyland amusement park.
Inspirational Sketch Artists
Through daydreams and doodles, they attempt to 'find' the film." The happy result of these flights of fancy are dancing ostriches and personality-rich broomsticks. Drawings and paintings of Disney characters leap right off the pages of this lush book, where you'll find pastels from Fantasia, faux wood-cuts of the Seven Dwarfs, paintings of Alice in Wonderland, and hundreds of other delightful, rarely seen images.
Tiana
Tiana, voiced by Anika Noni Rose and animated by Mark Henn, is the ninth Disney Princess character to be incorporated into the franchise, appearing in Disney's 49th animated feature film The Princess and the Frog (2009). Her film is loosely based on the novel The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker, which is in turn based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale The Frog Prince. Tiana marks the first princess in the "fourth-wave" feminist movement that initiated the most modern line of Disney films, including movies like Tangled, Brave, and Frozen. Disney says Tiana represents, "mak[ing] a dream real."
True-Life Adventures
True-Life Adventures series is a collection of fourteen full length and short subject documentary films produced by Walt Disney Productions roughly between the years 1948 and 1960. Several of the films were adapted in comic book format as one shots in the Dell Comics Four Color series. The films were among the earliest production experience for Roy E. Disney. Also this film series was the launching pad for Disney's new distributor, Buena Vista International. TV episodes are from Disney's anthology TV series. In 2007, Disney established a new nature film label called Disneynature.
Bill Tytla
Tytla is particularly noted for the animation of Grumpy in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Stromboli in Pinocchio, Chernabog in the Night on Bald Mountain sequence from Fantasia and the title character in Dumbo.
El Grupo and the Latin American Films
Walt & El Grupo is a 2008 documentary film produced by Theodore Thomas Productions through The Walt Disney Family Foundation Films. For ten weeks in 1941, Walt Disney, his wife Lilly, and sixteen colleagues from his studio visited nations in Latin America to gather story material for a series of films with South American themes. The feature documentary film uses this framing device to explore inter-American relations, provide a rare glimpse into the artists who were part of the magic of Disney's "golden age" and give an unprecedented look at the 39 year-old Walt Disney during one of the most challenging times of his entire life.
Eric Larson

The two met in 1919. Iwerks' most famous work outside creating and animating Mickey Mouse was Flip the Frog from his own studio. Iwerks was known for his fast work at drawing and animation and his wacky sense of humor.
Norman Ferguson
