diversifying into live-action film production,

Hollywood. He created

the first animated film

to have sound. It was

called Steamboat Willie

and starred Mickey and

Minnie Mouse.

more characters such as

Goofy, Donald Duck and

Pluto.

• Disneyland opened in

• In 1932, Walt decided to

make a full length

Dwarfs. It took 5 years

finally released in 1937 –

it was a huge success.

• Walt Disney himself was

the original voice for

Mickey Mouse.

It was 1888 when Reynaud patented Théâtre Optique, a machine that produced images on a screen using:

- 36 mirrors- Two magic lanterns or supplementary lights that were the source of a stationary background- A projector

The images were painted on a long band that would be wound up on two spools that had to be rotated by hand. Working the spools demanded some skill, so it was usually Reynaud’s hand.

Each of the three animations consisted of 500 to 600 individually painted images and ran for about 15 minutes. Reynaud acted as the projectionist and a piano player accompanied him. Actors on the side provided the dialogue. The show ran until 1900 and was seen by half a million people.

No matter your age,

there’s a good chance that

you grew up with Winnie

The Pooh in some form!

The character created by

A.A. Milne has endured for

over 90 years as a beloved

figure of children’s

literature and television.

And in that time, that silly

old bear has been through

a lot.

The first Winnie The Pooh

story, written by Alan

Alexander Milne, debuted

in the London Evening

News in 1925 on

Christmas Eve. The story,

“The Wrong Sort of Bees,”

would be the first chapter

in the first volume of

stories, “Winnie-the-Pooh,”

published on October 14th,

1926. Milne named the boy

in the story after his son,

Christopher Robin Milne,

and named Pooh after

Christopher Robin’s teddy

bear Winnie, which he

nicknamed after he saw a

bear from Winnipeg at the

zoo.
