have some role in the war he became a volunteer with the Red Cross. Within a week he was sent to the front and didn’t return for one to two years (Mosely). When Walt returned from he war he told his father that he wanted to become an animator, but his fat

and in turn ABC would fund the construction of Disneyland in its’ entirety. Roy was not thrilled with the idea of building a theme park, but loved the idea of a TV show. "It seemed to him that every time the studio started to get a little bit ahead Walt found a way to get them back in red." (Fanning).

Walt Disney transformed the entertainment industry, into what we know today. He pioneered the fields of animation, and found new ways to teach, and educate (A, Brad). Before leaving home at 16 to join the Red Cross Ambulance Corps during World War I, Walt discovered that he could escape his dad's, as well as life’s meanness in art classes. In the service he kept drawing, and when he was mustered out, he set up a shop as a commercial artist in Kansas City, Mo. There he discovered animation, a new field, wide open to an ambitious young man determined to escape his father's sorry fate (Schickel).

November 2 1966 X-rays detected a cancerous spot on Walt Disney's left lung. Walt is admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital, in Burbank, for surgery on November 7th. On November 30th Walt collapses at his home and was revived by medics, and is readmitted to hospital. On December 15 Walt Disney died of acute circulatory collapse, caused by lung cancer, at age 65. He had won more than 950 honors and citations worldwide, including 48 Academy Awards and 7 Emmys. On December 16 Walt’s immediate family at Little Church of the Flowers of Forest Lawn Memorial held a private service Park, in Glendale, California (Reese). The flag at Disneyland flew at half-mast. And as commentator Eric Severeid said, "We'll never see his like again" (Walt’s Story: Episode One).

The early flop of The Alice Comedies inoculated Walt against fear of failure; he had risked it all three or four times in his life. Walt's brother, Roy O. Disney, was already in California, with an immense amount of sympathy and encouragement, and $250. Pooling their resources, they borrowed an additional $500, and set up shop in their uncle's garage. Soon, they received an order from New York for the first Alice in Cartoonland(The Alice Comedies) featurette, and the brothers expanded their production operation to the rear of a Hollywood real estate office. It was Walt's enthusiasm and faith in himself, and others that took him straight to the top of Hollywood society (A., Brad).

Disney Production could not afford this idea though and Walt had determined that making another movie would not raise sufficient capital to finance the project. Walt decided to approach the networks to produce a weekly Disney show. The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) jumped at the chance to have a Disney show on weekly
