Fourth Annotation.!

I am writing about a short part of a biography i found on justdisney.com. In this small section it tells how in 1918 Walt Disney tried to enlist in the military but was rejected. When this happened he enlisted on the Red Cross and was sent overseas to France, where he spent over a year driving an abulance and escorting Red Cross Officials around. This is an interesting fact that most people probally do not know.

Third Annotation Repost.!

My third annotation is from the same site of my second annotation. I looked around on the website and there is a lot of helpful information on it. The specific thing I was looking for this time around was an primary source, and I found some. The link to the picture is http://www.justdisney.com/images/walt_disney_photos/unedited_pics/WaltOscars.JPG.The picture doesnt look like much, but you know the saying a picture is worth a thousand words. This is Walt after his studio won 4 academy awards. I chose to look at this picture because it shows how sucessful his studio was.

Second Annotation Repost.!

This is my second annotation on Walt Disney. The spcific thing I looked at this time was how he actually made his animation. First a story board is made and the whole film is thought up. Then the directors come together and discuss what will be in the final cut. After that the dialogue is done so the animators will now what the characters will say. The characters are then thought of and sketches are made. They put all the sketches together and choose what ones will used. Last they put all the sketches all together and add the voices, and make the final edit then it is released for public viewing.http://www.justdisney.com/animation/animation.html. This whole site was made and written by Brad Aldridge Productions, Berkeley, CA. This site is just all about Walt Disney from his biography to media clips of him. This is a secondary source of information, but still helpful.

Thesis Statement Repost.!

Walt Disney was one of the most successful enturpenure's of the 20th century. Almost everything he got invovled in he just struck gold with. From small cartoon sketches to big animated live action movies. But everything wasnt allways going good. He hit many hard times during his stride to be a cartoon artist. He often times found himself at a bankrupt bussiness or having nothing at all but the clothes on his back. Walt Diseny was a pioneer and innovator, he had one of the most creative minds of not only his time but of all time.
