Walt Disney is an American icon. Through his characters, movies and theme parks, he strived to bring out that hope and inner child that every person needs. And in the process, he built one of the most successful and powerful companies in the world - worth an estimated $130 billion.
But before he was anywhere close to achieving success, he was homeless and only had $40 in his pocket.

Walt Disney had a tragic backstory but he never given up and grows up to become a legend,thank you Walt Disney for everything.
Walt Disney's father, after having a number of unsuccessful businesses, tells the future creator of the biggest entertainment empire that entertainment was a "waste of time." Something hilarious about that.
It is easy to say that in hindsight.
It's hilarious 'cause that buisness is VERY much thriving. It's the most famous one!
@@lydiasoares88 not the most famous but ok
What a jinx
We always have that kind of person. At least 1 in life.
Interesting fact about Walt:
When delivering newspapers, he would occasionally sell them on trains bound for their destination (he would go a stop or two and switch back onto the next train home). He got bored of selling newspapers and in doing so, he started talking to folks on the trains - particularly older, Civil War vets. He was fascinated so much by their stories that he became intrigued with the whole time period.
That's why he loved Lincoln as a president and wanted to incorporate American history into his parks. As a kid, he had the opportunity first-hand to hear from these vets from both sides of the war.
"3 decades before he was able to achieve financial stability". Unreal grit.
"No dad, I wanna become an artist and soar high above the clouds!"
This enraged Walters father, who punished him severely
oh god, here comes Witler
@@bred4059 don't let him get rejected by the art school
He was average height for his time period ok…..

Oversimplified fans are everywhere,glad im one of them
The editing just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the hard work
:))))))
Walt's story is proof that, even with whatever life throws at you, all you need to do is follow your biggest passion, as some day, you'll become an icon of success
brother no it isn’t
A ton of luck is also needed though.
@@dhLord64true, but Walt started out SUPER unlucky, it would seem. His luck only changed for the better later on
Now that’s a fairy tale right there.
Walt Disney has reached out so many youth that it has become one of the nostalgic memory of a good childhood. i'm an avid fan of disney cartoons that it shaped my whole personality and perspectives in life. your legacy will always be remembered. your life is already like a movie, it has adventures and life lessons. thank you walt for not giving up your dreams.

Walt Disney is such a inspiring person!
It depends on the person for me he was just the owner of disney nothing else

Disney is a great example of a honest brave man who never gave up his dream.
work hard and become a person who you want to be
Work smart too. E.Q. IN HIGH LEVEL.
@@amilton1015 right work smart agree
That explains why Disney featuring and I quoted "followed your dreams"
Thanks man
Work hard and become a person that your parents want you to be
Walt's story is an example of the profound odds placed against dreamers - but like missiles entering the Death Star exhaust port, he did it. And then later, Disney bought Star Wars too ;)
Irony
And ruined the sequels
@@zippinghen star wars sucks anyways
@@crimsontheworld772 bro How though like how do you not like Star Wars??
@@zippinghen I was joking, sorry if I offended you
I think Walt would be disappointed to see what Disney, his life's dream, has become.
What's wrong??
i tink theres some problems with the films that are being made today...
Here's a quote that he had:
"I'd much rather entertain people and hope they learned a lesson, than educate people and hope they were entertained."
He went from Zero, to Hero!
Well at least walt's father didnt disencourage his persue of art unlike *AHEM* SOMEONE'S father
Yes XD
ahem hemler
That’s it (Oversimplified)
Discourage*
thank god he became walter and not witler
It's sad to see what Disney has become especially hearing Walt Disney's backstory like this.😪

The story of Walt Disney is always nice to see and it's nice to know that he was able to animate a bit.
hook deserves more views and likes than its gettings as hook is uploading the stories about how many famous multi-billionare companies were made
Walt Disney created animations that shaped and make me nostalgic of how wonderful stories like Mickey mouse , Cinderella , Frozen, Moana and other Big hits that made me feel happy imagination fantasy on a higher level
Billionaires: **left school**
Me if i left school: *MCDONALD'S*
walt's dad: creates thousands of buisnesses and fails compltely everytime and thinks entertainment is a waste of time
walt: does work in entertainment and creates the biggest and the most powerful company on the planet worth over 300 billion dollars
The main difference was walt was perusing entertainment and his dad was perusing luxury.
@@invalid5777 Do you mean Walt's dad was wanting to get a life of luxury or he was running businesses that gave luxury because entertainment and luxury are somewhat the same thing almost?
@@bluelightstudios6191 although it is technically a luxury its usually the last thing people think about when they hear the word luxury
@@bluelightstudios6191
Peace, luxury and entertainment are not the same thing.
His story was sad and happy and inspiring at the same time.
Such an inspiring story of persistence and determination! Disney is now a lasting empire! ⭐
@Baby Pluto uh if your talking about his first cartoons,they were black and white because colors were not yet able to be applied to cartoons. I didn’t even know he was racist that makes me angry.
@@darthhopinator7195
You seriously didnt get the joke?
There is a debate if he is racist, and back in the day, they used black in cartoons. And he might be racist. Geddit?
You di
even like steve jobs, elon musk,etc
@@mikeohawk95 oh yeah!
@@idiard9956 bad joke then
Amazing video as always! I didn't expect Walt to come from such a low place.
This was the longest 26 minutes of my life. it was so entertaining.
You never had to do 26 minutes of hard work or hard exercise did you?
@@hydrolito I have those were the worst 26+ minutes of my life
Don't you mean "shortest"?😳

The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: "the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left".
Investing in today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading Bitcoins,gold, silver and crypto secure a better tomorrow.
Interesting, most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be mislead in facts like this and always depend on Money in the Bank very bad idea.
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because I have no idea of how and where to invest in?

This is why bullying isn't exactly the best, you don't know if that poor homeless guy rises up to be one of the most respected and popular people in his country.
“Then what do you wanna do Walter?”
Walt: I wanna be a drug dealer
Walt Disney is so amazing! He is the most inspirational man I have ever heard of. Just think he did so much for us and made amazing, funny, and wonderful clips. So thank you Walt for inspiring us to do anything we put our mind to, and never give up!
That kid was a legend.
Disney movies are very famous in finland. when i was little i wached disney movies EVERY weekend, and i still do!
It is amazing how far you've come hook! And how much sponsors you are getting. Gotta love your improvement in editing.

@Replíed by MercBenzKíng ✪︎︎ hello manchild 😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘
should've been "the man without a house, who made the mouse"
This is an awesome backstory! I didn’t know about it till today
His lesson was "Never give up" I like that 😀
I got so excited to see you posted! Please post more!!!
He can succeed b/c he pursued his passion. What a gr8 and inspired story. He failed again and again but his persistence let him lifted up. what kind of struggle within 3decades. Big respect Walt🙇from Ethiopia😘
And to think, if that driver never stopped to help him after the horseshoe nail got stuck in his foot, he very likely could’ve gotten pneumonia or frostbite from the cold and we never would’ve got Mickey Mouse.
Disney will always be one of the greatest animation studios of all time!
whoever turned down his talents on his road to success, lol they must have really regretting it😂
Happens on the road to success. You have to persevere and persist
Not necessarily. Walt's real success came from being independent. Oswald was not his, and everything before that was (meant) to be funded by other distributors. But much of the time they fell through on what they agreed to pay Laugh-O-Gram. If he hadn't gone bankrupt, and if Mintz hadn't taken Oswald and most of Disney's animators, he never would have created Mickey. In the biography Disney's World, he vouched to his wife Lilian on the train ride home from New York that he would never work for anyone else, other than himself, again. If he had, we wouldn't know Walt Disney today. He might be some obscure name in entertainment history, but nothing to what he is and was.
mgm columbia and the greed universal picture
A kid with a dream to persue...who then became an icon in the eyes of many indeed the path was rocky and steep but he never gave up so it was written on the face of destiny that he shall succeed and bring joy,happines and memories to the billions of people in the world. The epifany of a great journey of life.
I love hearing all these people's stories, proves they're more like normal people than we thought.
Well done! I needed to watch this and you highlighted all the right quotes. Subscribed.
This is amazing! Keep the hard work up!
I just wanna say that these videos have a remarkable skill to take 100's of websites with super boring stories and combine them to describe some of the most interesting stories.
Please post more love it I am learning so much
They rejected yet profited off of him yet he kept the entire country at peace and happiness. There's a tone in a letter amen
Your editing is always good 😙👌

“Best 40 bucks I’ve ever spent”
-Walt Disney
"How do you expect to make a living as an artist?"
Literally words before good luck
One of the many urban legends that surrounded Walt after his death was that he was dishonorably discharged. The short answer is that Walt was never in the military, so he couldn't be discharged-either honorably or dishonorably.
I loved this so much I got tears in my eyes 2 times
How painful a nail going straight into his nail, 😭 I don't want to imagine that!!!!!
2:10 Plot twist: Rey from star wars is named after Ray disney.
Your videos are incredible and really insightful, keep up the incredible work!
His parents: “uh- could I have-“
Walt: “DOES IT LOOK-“
Wow that's a whirlwind journey to success. Gone through difficult and hard times yet continued to believe and work hard. I am so inspired by his story ❤️
The Homeless Teen Made This $40 Disney?!We Must Give Him Respect
Fantastic Storytelling 💎
WOW! Truly inspiring.
What a video! Very informative.
One of the most inspiring videos I've ever seen
Now here a true REAL LIFE GOAT ! THIS STORY WAS HONESTLY WAY MORE INSPIRATIONAL THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE, THIS MAN WAS BORN TO CREATE ALL THAT WE COME TO LOVE NOW AND ALL STARTED FROM HIM SIMPLY JUST DRAWING A MICE ! He didn't even have to make it look crazy realistic just basic and now the land you made is worth 130 billion dollars like tf 🤯🍾 i would love to spend at lease one day with that man just so I can possibly learn something from him. Matter a fact, Walt if u can somehow read this right now, THANK YOU ! MY DAUGHTER LOVES DISNEY AND ANYTHING THAT MAKES HER HAPPY MAKES ME HAPPY!
Hes dead i think
@@chonkeyrex7688 Duh! Of course he's dead. He's been dead for 56 years!
I always enjoy these videos
"you'll never come out of the hospital alive"😳😳
One of the best so far
When you just found this channel and can’t stop watching it!
Let’s just appreciate all the time he puts in for us to make these videos and the time he takes researching
Wonderful inspirational story 👏.
I love this chanel great histories thank you for sharing
The Disney dream brought a lot of kids happiness truely inspiring story
Wait what, give me a second are you telling the big, evil, kid-friendly entertainment powerhouse came from a homeless Walt when he left his house at 16 and after that he made Laugh-O-Grams and Oswald and a year later made the one and only Mickey Mouse from 1928, I never heard that Walt left his home at 16? Rest was history.
Came for the Dyson Vacuum documentary. Subscribed because of the Walt Disney documentary. Keep up the good work. 5 /5 Stars. Would recommend!
Thanks for the inspiring story 🌈
This man literally made my Childhood🥺. I pray wherever he his right now he is happy knowing he made a lot of kids smile and shined light on a lot of kid's childhood. I pray his soul rest in peace and God bless his beautiful soul🥺✊❤️. Thank you, Walt Disney🫂
Sad how the company’s now a soulless, greedy corporate entity.
@@peanutbutterBrisket99😞😞
amazing vid!
This is great like your other videos thank you, there is also a very good PBS one that has three parts
I was so surprised to learn that he had difficulty since he was young. Thank you for not giving up on your dreams, no matter how hard things were. I want to be a person like him who can continue to work hard in anu situation.
He would be so disappointed on what they made disney now
No one going to talk about MY MAN - *THE DRIVER* I mean props to him for saving WALT FROM HIS DEATH
Really Good Editing 🖤🔥🔥
Walt Disney and his company’s classics, will always be legendary.
Learning his backstory, it makes sense why Walt Disney would say one of his most special movies to him was this super obscure forgotten one called So Dear to My Heart, it was Walt showing his nostalgia
Things you don't ask:
A man = about his wallet
Hook = how he got these informations.
Hook got these because
The walt kid who made Disney he had a kid
Then the kid who grew up and told his kid and so and so on until
2020 that's why hook probaly knows this course he got lucky enough that walt was thought like that and hooks dad probaly told him about this now that's y he knows all this
or you know, actual hard research that would be near impossible to find
every business people who become successful usually tells his life story to inspire others
Duddde your sooo underrated I’ve been watching you since 2020 I was hoping that you would please get to 1 million subs because you deserve it
Thanks for this
