Educational Background Attended: McKinley High School Benton Grammar School Kansas City Art Institute School of the Art Institute of Chicago Walt became a successful by his love for drawing animations. After he came home from France, he got a job with Film Ad Co. He loved bringing his animations to life, but he didn’t like advertising so much. So, he later converted his garage into a studio and started his own cartoon series. He moved to LA and teamed up with his brother. He began to animate more and they became huge successes.

Entrepreneurship Qualities Walt was very passionate, because he loved what he did and continued to do it until the day he died. Persistent, because not all of his ideas became huge success or a success at all but he kept trying. He was constantly coming up with new ideas and asking others for their opinion. He was always trying to find new ways how to improve his amusement parks and his movies/shows He definitely is a leader, because I think he inspired others in his industry.

Why I chose This Entrepreneur I chose this entrepreneur because I love Disney and didn’t know much about Walt Disney. Walt and I share the quality of passion. I have learned from Walt that you can’t give up after you’ve failed.
