“Walt Disney Produces Steamboat Willie”
During 1914 to 1930, many changes had been made. People were opening up to new ideas, thinking differently, machines were being made, and inventions were being created. Most of these new inventions were for the entertainment and amusement. Animation, such as cartoons synchronized with sound, revolutionized the way people enjoyed visual entertainment, helped make Walt Disney Studios the largest media corporation, and created acceptable nonsense.
During much of the 1920’s, many attended baseball games, listened to radios, and went to restaurants with live entertainment. When cartoons synchronized with sound were created, there were many non realistic situations that could be portrayed through these cartoon characters. Many of these situations were humorous and had a sense of light heartedness. Individuals at this time were entertained with a new way of viewing something and interested many as to how synchronized sound was created and pondered many as to what the real potential of Walt Disney could be.
After Walt Disney’s first production of Steamboat Willie “between July and September of 1928 with an estimated budget of $4,986” (Hysell,Patricia) there was an interminable amount of positive feedback. Many viewers came to the consensus that Walt Disney and his brother had created just the beginning to the start of many popular cartoons, short films, etc. After many other short films were created, Walt Disney began to expand. Without the intrepidity of Walt Disney himself, he wouldn’t have been one of the famous film producers today. And as of today, “The Company is best known for the products in the Walt Disney Studios and is one of the best-known studios in Hollywood” ( ). Disney also owns and operates many television programs we watch today.
With the creation of many cartoons, short films, and dramatized films, people began to accept how unrealistic and unreasonable the situations in these films really
