Walt Disney to be Remembered with Museum

The name Walt Disney carries with it a great deal of meaning. It is equated with majesty and children’s entertainment, movies and theme parks. Lost in all the fame, however, is the fact that Walt Dinsey was once just a humble animator and a regular person. Today Disney’s family wants to refocus the public attention back on the person of Walt Disney and they intend to do so by opening a new museum to tell his life’s story.

Walt Disney the man, believes the Disney family, has been lost before Walt Disney the company. The Walt Disney Family Foundation, an organization started nearly twenty years ago, will open the doors at the Walt Disney Museum on October 1, 2009.

The Walt Disney company films a slate of movies and releases them as Disney DVDs each year and as such, the Disney empire as has never been larger. But do the people know anything about the man, Walt Disney. In the current climate, with millions getting entertainment from the Disney brand, do people realize that there was an early pioneer who started it all?

Through exhibits, the Walt Disney museum will replay the key moments in Walt Disney’s life, starting with his birth in Chicago and continuing through his childhood years in St. Louis. The museum will also chronicle his move to Los Angeles in the 1920s where Walt Disney’s personal career began to emerge as his Mickey Mouse cartoon gained popularity.

Many items from the early years of the Walt Disney company will be on display. Among the priceless artifacts that will be on exhibit include primitive animation sketches, bytes of film, rough drafts of movie scripts, and several of Walt Disney’s Academy Awards, including the one presented to him by the Academy for his first full length animated feature, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”

The museum will also exhibit a to-scale blueprint for the original Disney Land theme park. It will be interesting for individuals to see how varied the original plans were as compared to the finished product that debuted in the 1950s. The museum will feature a working model of the train which ran around the Dinsey estate.

Walt Disney, who passed away in 1966, created many movies that live on in children’s minds to this day. The studio he created has continued to produce hits and today is one of the largest media conglomerates in the world.
