If anyone deserves to be on this list it is this man. Walt Disney has influenced the world through media more than any other person. If anyone is in objection to this feel free to let me know but I fully stand by my statement that he is the most influential person involving media.

Let’s look at the accomplishments Disney has made. Walt started the Disney Company which has made more children’s movies than any other company. Walt helped to invent the first theme park. Disney has been a key player in the revolution of technology including but not limiting to trains, animatronics, film, and roller coasters just to give a few examples.

Before Walt the only type of animation was cartoon strips to be found in the paper. Walt took the idea of moving cartoon strips and began creating animated short films. With more and more success achieved with these short films Walt decided it was time to create a full length animation film for children. Snow White was then created and became such a large success that Disney began making other films. Some of these films did very well such as Cinderella and others not doing as well such as Pinocchio. With every film that Disney made he would learn and push his staff to new levels.

Disney decided that he wanted to create an amusement park that was designed for kids. Disney had a love for trains and wanted to share that love with the world. Thus Disney land was built. To this day Disney has created many more parks including Disney world which have spread all over the world.

The Disney Company started by Walt has continued to shine and progress even after Walt’s death. The company has bought and taken over some major companies to help the companies and Disney expand. These companies include Marvel Comics ,the leading comic book company, Pixar animation, ESPN, and ABC network.
