Walt Disney was born December 5th 1901 and died December 15th 1966. He was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor and animator. He was an innovator in animation and theme park design. He was the original voice of Mickey Mouse.  Walt Disney started producing work in 1920 when he formed a short-lived company ‘Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists’ he continued to produce work until he died. His work was in black and white; as using colour commercially hadn’t been invented (e.g. colour televisions). I like his work because it was new and inventive at the time and has inspired many artists to continue with stop motion ever since. I also like his work because it is something you can watch without getting bored or losing interest. I think Walt Disney’s work is relevant to my research because he was one of the first stop motion artists who is well known and the characters he created are still here forty five years after he died.
