entrepreneur, entertainer and
international icon.
3. Where Did He Live?
Walt Disney was born in Chicago Illinois, as
well his father Elias Disney, and mother Flora
Call Disney. Walt was one of five children,
four boys and a girl.
After Walt's birth, the Disney family moved to
Marceline Missouri, Walt lived most of his
childhood in Marceline Missouri.
4. Interested in animation?
Walt Disney become interested in drawing, taking
some art classes as a teen and providing political
cartoons for his high school's newspaper. After
returning from France in 1919, he wanted to continue
with his political cartoons but could only find work
with an advertising agency. Walt next secured a job
with the Kansas City Film Ad Company, where he
created commercials using cardboard cutouts. This
sparked his interest in animation, and Walt begin
borrowing equipment from work for his own
experiments. He founded the Laugh-O-Gram Studio
in 1922.
5. Background
The Disney family moved to Marceline, Missouri. Walt lived out
most of his childhood here. Walt had a very early interest in
drawing, and art. When he was seven years old, he sold small
sketches, and drawings to nearby neighbours. Instead of
doing his school work Walt doodled pictures of animals, and
nature. His knack for creating enduring art forms took shape
when he talked his sister, Ruth, into helping him paint the side
of the family's house with tar.
Close to the Disney family farm, there were Santa Fe Railroad
tracks that crossed the countryside. Often Walt would put his
ear against the tracks, to listen for approaching trains. Walt's
uncle, Mike Martin, was a train engineer who worked the route
between Fort Madison, Iowa, and Marceline. Walt later worked
a summer job with the railroad, selling
newspapers, popcorn, and sodas to travellers.
6. Animation Style
Walt Disney got the inspiration for Mickey Mouse from his old pet
mouse. Although Moore himself was nervous at first about changing
Mickey, Walt Disney liked. In Steamboat Willie the black outlines were
removed, although the upper .
8. What is the Clip About?
Steamboat Willie is a 1928 American animated short
film directed by Walt Disney
It was produced in black-and-white by The Walt Disney
Studio and released by Celebrity Productions. The cartoon is
considered the debut of Mickey Mouse and his
girlfriend Minnie, but the characters had both appeared
several months earlier in test screenings. Steamboat
Willie was the third of Mickey's films to be produced, but was
the first to be distributed.
9. History of Animation
Steamboat Willie" was a black and white Mickey Mouse short film that was released on November
18, 1928, being the short that kicked off what we have come to know as The Golden Age of
Animation. It is notable not for being the first Mickey Mouse. It not for being the first sound cartoon
(Fleischer Studios had already experimented with adding sound to their cartoons), but for being the
first cartoon with a completely post-produced soundtrack of music, dialogue, and sound effects.
Namely, it was the first cartoon to get it right, bringing The Silent Age of Animation to an end.
The short itself begins with the iconic image of Mickey Mouse at the mast of a steamboat, whistling
to himself. The villain, Pete, the real captain of the ship, steps in and hassles Mickey for not doing
his job. The steamboat docks to pick up a cargo of animals, and Minnie Mouse rushes to board the
ship as it leaves the dock. Mickey manages to get her on board (by using a hook to pick her up by
her panties no less), but an Extreme Omni Goat eats her ukulele and her sheets of music .
Somehow Mickey and Minnie are able to make the most of the situation by cranking the goat's
tail, which causes it to play music. The ensuing scenes involve Mickey abusing animals in order to
add to the music, by swinging a cat by its tail, choking a duck, pulling on the tails of baby pigs and
then playing the mother pig's nipples. Animal abuse aside, this scene readily showed off what
adding sound to cartoons could do. Pete gets angry at Mickey for slacking off again, and forces
him to peel potatoes. The short ends with Mickey throwing a potato at a parrot for laughing at him.
10. 5 Thing’s I Liked
I really liked the storyline that was presented on the
video clip, and that it told the story with out any
word*s
The video clip is short, with a storyline that is good.
The clip hasfunny parts, especially for young kids to
watch, it would make them laugh.
It featured a fully post-produced soundtrack which
distinguished it from earlier sound cartoons such as
Inkwell Studios.
11. 3 thing’s To Improve On It?
When making this video clip he should made the
characters speak, rather than just acting without any words
Disney Willie should make the video longer than 7 minute
at least 10 or 15 minute long.
They could made it funnier for young children to see and
watch.
12. Relevant today
I think that Disney's Steamboat Willie animation
video is still relevant today because most families that
have young children that are age 2 to 5 they watch the
video on there TV, as well the young children they like
to watch the videos.
