Disney- The creation and evolution of a child's fantasy

The one word any child associates to when he thinks of his childhood has always been Disney. Walt Disney's animated movies really keep the younger audiences engaged and have been loved by them from generations. But the whole story of Disney is still a mystery to some kids out there who don't know much about the person who makes such wonderful movies for them! That is why I am here, to uncover the mysteries of Disney, or in simple terms give you a clear sight on Disney's creation and evolution.

Walter Elias Disney was an American cartoonist, film maker and voice actor. He was the founder of Disney as we know it! The classic Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy were his creations which are still remembered by children of all ages. Another interesting fact is that Mickey Mouse's voice is actually Walt Disney's. He even set up theme parks around the globe in America, Japan, China and France. On 15 December, 1996, the legend passed away, leaving behind his legacy to be continued. Disney has given us the best animated movies right from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen. Let's take a trip down the memory lane and revisit some of the evergreen Disney movies of all time.

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS-

 Released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first animated movie made by Disney. It was premiered in Carthay Circle Theatre, Calafornia where it received a standing ovation. It was re-released in 1944 as a comeback. 
















BEAUTY AND THE BEAST-

Jumping straight to 1991, Beauty and the Beast was an animated musical romantic fantasy produced by Walt Disney Pictures. 
For the first time ever, an unfinished version of the movie was shown in the New York Film Festival in 1991 where it received a ten minute long standing ovation!














ALADDIN-
The world saw another hit with the release of Aladdin in 1992. It was the 31st film released by Disney.
The main attraction were the songs in the movie, like "A whole new world", "You never had a friend like me".














LION KING-
The Lion King was an animated musical adventure film released in 1994. It took relationships and throne descendants to a whole new level.
The audience, as expected, was ecstatic about its release and the movie deserved the praise it got. It was the first time the trailer of a movie had been a song rather than a dialogue. The famous song "Circle of life" was made the trailer of the movie.










Disney continues to surprise us with many more animated movies in the twentieth century. More on that in my next post.
