Elias Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966), was an American
film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator,
entrepreneur, visionary, and philanthropist. He was the son of Flora and
Elias Disney, and had three brothers and one sister. As the co-founder
(with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Walt became
one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The
corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today
has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $30 billion.
Walt Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer, and a
popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park
design. He was nominated for 48 Academy awards and 7 Emmys, holding the
record for most Oscar nominations. He also had two daughters, Diane and
Sharon; Sharon was adopted. He and his staff created a number of the
world's most famous productions, including the one many consider
Disney's alter ego, Mickey Mouse. He is also well-known as the namesake
of the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United
States.
