After World War I,he eventually found work with the Kansas City Film Ad Company.Experimenting with the use of cardboard figures in animation,the company gave Disney valuable training,and in a short time he left to form his own production company.Disney and a talented draftsman from Holland,Iwerks,produced a number of animated carto-ons,choosing for their subject matter topics of local current interest as well as fairy tales.Running out of money in 1923,Walt closed his busi-ness in Kansas City and moved to California.There,in partnership with his brother Roy,and a capital base of$280,the Disney Studio was be-gun.

迪斯尼
迪斯尼于1901年出生在芝加哥。还是个孩子时,他就爱画谷仓里的动物和农场周围的景色。 后来,这种绘画兴趣终于使他父亲把他送进了堪萨斯市艺术学院的周六班去学习。
第一次世界大战后,他在堪萨斯市的电影广告公司找到了一份工作。当时,该公司正在动画片制作中尝试性地使用虚构人物,这对迪斯尼来说是极有价值的训练机会。 他很快就离开了那里,开始组建自己的制作公司。迪斯尼和一位有才华的荷兰美术家爱瓦克斯一起,选择当地人们想兴趣的趣材和童话故事,制作了一些动画卡通,但由于缺钱,沃尔特于1923年关闭了堪萨斯市的这一公司,搬到了加利福尼亚。在那里,他和他的兄弟罗伊一起,以280美元的基本资本,建起了迪斯尼摄影棚。
