Walt Disney and his heroes


Walt Disney was born in Chicago, his father being Irish Canadian, his mother of German-American origin. He revealed a talent for drawing and an interest in photography early on and after service with the American Red Cross in the First World War. In 1923 he left with his brother Roy for Hollywood and for some years struggled against poverty while producing a series of cartoon films. In 1927 he had some success with the series called "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit", but it was not until September 1928, when "Steamboat Willie" appeared, the first "Mickey Mouse" with sound, that he achieved lasting success. Mickey Mouse became a household word together with such companions as Minnie, Pluto, and perhaps the favourite of them all Donald Duck.
"The Three Little Pigs" and " Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", with their still familiar songs by Frank Cherchill, immediately spring to mind. After the Second World War Disney turned his attention to real-life nature studies and non-cartoon films with living actors. After a rather unsuccessful feature cartoon "The Sleeping Beauty", he made a triumphant come-back with the very successful "Mary Poppins".
In 1955 he branched out into a different enterprise "Disney-land", a huge amusement park in southern California.
Disneyland is situated 27 miles south of Los Angeles, at Ana-heim. Of all the show-places none is as famous as Disneyland. This superb kingdom of fantasy linked to technology was created by Walt Disney.
The park is divided into six themes and there is so much to see and do in each that no one would attempt to see all of them in one visit. For extended visits, there are hotels nearby.
Walt Disney died in California at the age of 65. His works have given so much pleasure for many years to many people, young and old, in many countries.

Soon after that Pushkin published his first long poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila". The poem didn't have a lot of positive feedback.In 1820 the poet went to the Caucasus and, then, to the Crimea with the intention of recovering from his pneumonia.It was in the Crimea where the idea of "Eugene Onegin" first came into his mind. In 1828 Pushkin was introduced to beautiful 16-year-old Natalya Goncharova. Soon after the wedding the Pushkins moved from Moscow to Tsarskoye Selo. There Pushkin finished his work at novel "Eugene Onegin". In 1836 Pushkin founded his own magazine "The Contemporary" which, unfortunately, was not successful.After facing rumours that Georges d'Anthes was showing affection for his wife Natalya, Pushkin challenged him to a duel.Pushkin was injured and died 2 days later after the duel, on the 29th of January 1837.
