Гений анимации

В начале своей карьеры Уолт Дисней, человек, сочи­нивший Микки Мауса и Трёх Маленьких Поросят, был почти неизвестен. Сейчас последнее издание книги «Кто есть кто» называет его в числе самых извест­ных людей в мире.

Живя в Канзасе, Уолт мечтал стать художником. Од­нако редакторы многих газет и журналов говорили юноше, что у него нет и крупицы таланта, и что его рисунки никуда не годятся. Столь жалким было его существование, что порой ему нечего было есть. В ка­честве студии он использовал гараж своего отца. И именно это помещение дало ему идею, которая сама по себе стоила миллионы долларов. Произошло это следующим образом. Из маленькой норки в самом дальнем углу деревянного гаража появилась мыш­ка. Не обращая внимания на человека, она приня­лась бегать и играть. Дисней принёс ей хлебных кро­шек, и с течением времени мышка так подружилась

с человеком, что стала взбираться на вершину его мольберта.

Позже Дисней отправился в Голливуд, где занялся под­готовкой серии мультипликационных фильмов. Тщет­ны, однако, были все его попытки добиться успеха. Он вновь оказался без денег и без работы. Однажды, сидя в маленькой комнате, он размышлял о своем будущем фильме. И именно в этот момент в его мозгу шевельнулось воспоминание о мышке, которая имела обыкновение забираться на его мольберт в кан­засском гараже. Столь живым было его воспоминание, что он тут же стал набрасывать контуры своего друга. Так и родился Микки Маус. Та самая мышка, которой давно нет в живых, стала «прадедушкой» героев мно­гих и многих известных во всем мире фильмов. Однажды Уолт предложил своим сотрудникам экра­низировать детскую сказку о трех поросятах и о се­ром волке, которую в детстве не раз рассказывала ему мать. Никто не предполагал, что фильм будет иметь такой сенсационный успех. Люди распевали от океа­на до океана мелодию песни «Нам не страшен серый волк!».

Уолт Дисней считал, что успех приходит лишь тогда, когда человек влюблен в свою работу. Ему никогда не импонировала мысль о том, чтобы делать деньги ради денег. Источником истинного вдохновения в его жизни всегда служила работа.
