- A beautiful black & white photograph signed by one of the 20th century's most important cultural icons
Walt Disney (1901 – 1966) was a celebrated voice actor, animator, film producer and entrepreneur who became an American cultural icon.
Having founded the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in 1923, Disney rose to fame with the creation of Mickey Mouse and became a household name across the world.
As a producer he pushed the boundaries of animation, releasing classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Dumbo and Fantasia, along with the Oscar-winning Mary Poppins.
Disney currently holds the record for the number of Academy Awards won by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations.
In 1955 Disney also established Disneyland, the most successful theme park ever built, which to date has attracted more than 650 million visitors.
Walt Disney's films have entertained millions of viewers, influenced generations of film-makers, and Walt Disney Studios remains the most famous and successful entertainment company in the world.
