How Did Walt Disney Change The World

Walt Disney grew up hoping he would be able to help people to not be sad but to feel happy all the time. That is a reason why he created Mickey Mouse and all the other characters that everyone knows and loves today. Disney did truly change the world and America, whether it is bad or good, and helped teach everyone that the greatest minds do not always start out with easy lives. The first thing we think about when we think of Disney, is Mickey Mouse. In 1928, “Steamboat Willie” was Mickey’s biggest appearance. Mickey Rooney and Disney’s wife, Lillian, both take tribute to Mickey’s name. At first it was Mortimer, but Lillian thought it was too stuck up. Rooney thought it was him because he met Disney shortly before the creation of the mouse. Mickey Mouse is the biggest thing in entertainment all around the world, especially America. People vote for him in some local elections and he was the top most common person to be voted for in November 2014. Cohort Donald Duck is right under Mickey. In 1987, Georgia made a law to where people can not vote for Mickey and Wisconsin is too soon (Ulster). That just says how much people love him; they love him enough to vote for him. Disney had another animation and his name
Snow White from, was born into royalty which caused some not so rich girls to feel bad about their family not being rich. Cinderella, made rich girls feel bad because they felt bad for the girls who did not have the money they have (Johnson).
Mulan and Pocahontas were good role models because they are Asian and Native American but they did not help the ethnic boys because the movies were mainly about girls. Also, they were not good models of princesses because they do a lot of manly things such as going to war and fighting for families and they do not look like the regular princesses because they do not wear the casual brightly colored dress. The media has noted them as, “too realistic for kids,”
