“Animation is imagination.”

Walt Disney, Nick Park, Rebecca Sugar, John Lasseter – all have one thing in common. Yes, you guessed it right, it is animation indeed! The likes of big brands such as Disney started as an animation studio way back in 1923. From a young age, Walt Disney was interested in drawing and animation. Later, he joined art classes and started his career as a commercial illustrator and went on to set-up Disney Brothers Studio. One of his earliest creations was Mickey Mouse, which is a cult classic today. In fact, numerous feature films such as Snow White, Dumbo, and Fantasia from the house of Disney pushed the potential of animated films and went a long way in establishing the animation industry. Disney also got involved in the world of theme parks, starting with Disneyland. From then, the empire has continued to grow multi-fold. Today, who can deny the popularity of Marvel and DC inspired movies, the multi-million dollar productions have created a spectacle on the big screen. It is truly Phenomenal!
