By 1930, Walt Disney had created 12 Mickey Mouse cartoons. They all were very popular with children and adults all over the world.

Then another great invention was made- colour in movies. Walt started making long colour cartoons. These included “Pinocchio”, “Bambi”, “Cinderella”, “Alice in Wonderland” and many others.

After World War II Walt made not only animated films, but movies about real animals. The film, “Seal Island” was made. Later Walt made many nature films, among them “Beaver Valley”and “Living Desert.”

In 1955, he branched out into a different enterprise- “Disneyland”, a huge amusement park in southern California. Of all the show places, none was as famous as Disneyland. This superb kingdom of fantasy linked to technology was created by Walt Disney.

Honours were given to Walt Disney. The highest came on September 14, 1964, when President Johnson presented him with the Medal of Freedom at the White House.

Walt Disney died in 1966 at the age of 65. the New York Times wrote, “He had a genius for innovation; his production was enormous; his hand was ever on the public pulse. He was a legend in his own lifetime- and so honored many times over.”

Walt Disney is gone but each year lots of new movies and cartoons are made in his studios.
