How awesome is this Walt Disney! What a beautiful tribute. Here are some fun Walt Disney facts:
1. Walt was the original voice of Mickey Mouse.
-Mickey Mouse’s famous falsetto voice we know and love today was actually that of Walt himself. Walt took great pride in being the original voice beginning in 1929 with the short film, Karnival Kid, where his only line was “Hot dog, hot dog.”
2. To sell the idea for Snow White be and the Seven Dwarfs, Walt performed it as a one-man show.
-Knowing the original idea of Snow White would be hard to sell, Walt gathered his team and performed a one-man show. He acted out the entire movie himself, mimicking the physical statue, characteristics, and voice of each of the characters.
3. Walt Disney's favorite song was “Feed the Birds.”
-There have been a lot of toe-tapping hits in Disney movies over the years, but Walt’s personal favorite was a ballad: “Feed the Birds,” the song about the pigeon lady in Mary Poppins.
