What are the inventions that Walt Disney invented?

Answer 1

Walt Disney did not actually invent the movie animated cartoon, but his "Steamboat Willie", back in the 1920s was the cartoon that made movie animated Cartoons popular. Walt invented Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto and their friends, and in the process made animated cartoons immensely popular.

It was much, much later that Walt thought about theme parks.

Answer 2

Walt Disney invented the multiplane camera in 1936. Disney was granted U.S patent 2,201,689 for the "art on animation" camera on May 21, 1940. He created the character Mickey Mouse, who was featured in the first full-length animated feature, Steamboat Willie (although he wasn't named "Mickey Mouse" yet).

While amusement parks existed in Europe as early as 1583, and were popular in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Walt Disney reinvented the amusement park, with the opening of Disneyland in 1955, as a modern reincarnation containing various themed areas of costumed performers, rides, and branded souvenirs, depicting a perfect world without violence or social problems.

Answer 3

In short, no. Although he did patent an invention which would change the face of the industry - arguably more so than any other in the thousand years before its advent.

Early Animation

Animation has been around for thousands of years, in the form of flip books or other mechanisms that spin a reel (or drum) of sequential images to produce the illusion of movement. The earliest solid example of either type comes from a Zoetrope-type device traced back to China in the 2nd Century AD. Animation as projected from a film has itself been around since the late 1800s.

Disney Gets His Start...

Walt Disney got his start using common animation techniques available in the early 1900s - including the pioneering use of Cinephone (sound-on-film) process to create the famous Steamboat Willie cartoon of 1928.

...Then Sparks a Revolution

Then, in 1936, Walt Disney patented the Art of Animation- using the Multiplane Camera in a way that allowed animators to reuse backgrounds and other unchanged portions of an animated film. Not only did this drastically cut the time needed to produce and animate the movie itself, it also helped improve the overall quality of the completed film. This method also helped create the illusion of depth as some portions of the scene would appear to move faster than others (or stand still, in some cases).

A year later, Disney released "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," not only the first feature-length animated film, but also the first to take full advantage of the Multiplane Camera. Indeed, the film may never have been such a success without this invention.

Disney may not have "invented animation," but his techniques and the pioneering use Multiplane Camera certainly boosted the art into the mainstream. The technique would be used widely by Disney and other animators alike for another 50 years until the rise of computer animation in the 80s and 90s prompted its decline.

Answer 4

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was actually the seventh feature length animated film. However, Walt Disney was the first to use cel animation and it was the first produced in the United States.

Answer 5

No, Bugs Bunny was a Warner Brothers character created by Tex Avery. He appears in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon series. He is also Warner Brothers' corporate mascot.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, no, but he created some of the better known characters like: Snow White, Mickey Mouse, etc. :)

Answer 7

Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse, along with Ub Iwerks and Les Clark.

Answer 8

the only invention that I know that he made was the multiplane camera in 1936.
