100 years of Disney: from a cartoon mouse to a global giant, how Walt Disney conquered the world

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, October 17, 2023

They created a new character: a mouse, with large ears.

Key Points:

They created a new character: a mouse, with large ears.
Walt Disney was an innovator in terms of space, colour and movement.
Walt himself holds the record for most nominations (59) and Oscar wins (22 competitive awards, plus four honorary awards) for a single individual.

Steamboat Willie and technological wonders

He created The Alice Comedies, a series of short films featuring a live-action child actress in a cartoon world.
Steamboat Willie, released in 1928, was the world’s first fully synchronised sound cartoon.
A simple story featuring Mickey as a steamboat captain trying to navigate the boat while dealing with various comical situations, Steamboat Willie was universally praised.

The golden age and feature films

Those early films still dazzle today – think of the Sorcerers’ Apprentice scene in Fantasia (1940) or the Pink Elephants hallucinogenic number in Dumbo.
And is there any scene, in any film, more heart-wrenching than the death of Bambi’s mother?
But the golden age never really stopped.

Disneyland and diversification

It set the standard for theme park design and showed the way forward for the company: diversification.
After Disneyland came Walt Disney World in Florida in 1971, then versions of Disneyland in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

Buyouts and a cultural behemoth

These acquisitions solidified Disney’s position as the brand leader in the entertainment industry.
The deal made some industry insiders uneasy: Disney had become a cultural behemoth, strangling competition, homogenising content and swallowing up entire franchises.

Not all plain sailing

Its 1946 film Song of the South has long been criticised for its racist portrayal of African Americans and its romanticisation of the plantation era.
Since 1986, Disney have tried to keep it out of circulation, although clips can be found online.
Many old films streaming on Disney+ now feature a disclaimer telling viewers some scenes will include “negative depictions” and “mistreatment of people or cultures”.
LGBTQ+ representation has become more visible since LeFou became Disney’s first openly gay character in its 2017 live-action Beauty and the Beast.
