accomplishments were very creative and special in their own way. In the year of 1929, Walt started his Silly Symphony series and that series gave him a huge leap to success. Disney later created his most famous cartoon, Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse starred in Steamboat Willie which was the first cartoon that used synchronized sound. (Fetzer, pg.235-237). Walt Disney had big accomplishment in his life and I think he used the success wisely. Walt Disney left behind a great legacy and influenced the…
Buzzfeed’s Loryn Brantz decided to digitally edit six famous Disney ladies — Ariel (“The Little Mermaid”), Pocahontas (“Pocahontas”), Jasmine (“Aladdin”), Belle (“Beauty and the Beast”), Aurora (“Sleeping Beauty”) and Elsa (“Frozen”) — to show what the cartoon heroines would look like if they had more realistic physical proportions. After all, since these characters are supposed to represent people in films made for children, they should probably look more like real people, right? “As a woman…
Of all the animated films I have ever watched, I feel that The Grave of the Fireflies is the most eerie. This is the second time I have watched the film and each time I feel like I have learned something else about the time period and people.

This animated film benefits from a faithful rendering of the story and two talented voices - Gordon Health narrates while Maurice Denham acts out as the animals. In my opinion, the atmosphere of the cartoon movie Animal Farm is a perfect way of seeing collusion, spying, killing and a real sense of fear comes through as the animals rules are eroded by one another by their chosen leader. George Orwell’s novel is about the deception, the cruelty and the hypocrisy of the pigs and their control over…
Walt decided that he wanted to be an artist and began to pursue that desire. “In 1920, he created and marketed his first original animated cartoons, and later perfected a new method for combining live action and animation. He called them “Laugh-o-Grams” (Walt Disney: early years). In august 1923 Walt left Kansas and moved to Hollywood where his brother Roy was preparing the beginnings of…

He has affected me directly in the aspect in which he as has created the ideas for many of my childhood cartoons and movies, as well as showing me the possibilities that can come from working hard and following your dreams. Primarily, Walt Disney was very influential in the idea…
It is time, at last to speak the truth about gender stereotypes, and the truth is this: gender stereotypes have been around us for a long time now. However, many people do not realize that gender stereotypes have a great impact on kids in America. In today’s day and age, kids are stuck indoors for most of their lives often watching television shows. Therefore, children will be greatly influenced by the images and messages portrayed on television shows. The real problem starts when these kids…
