Walt Disney founded The Walt Disney Company in 1923 with his brother Roy. Their first animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, debuted in 1937. Originally focused on families with young children, Disney's 1967 film The Jungle Book gained widespread popularity. Disney pioneered techniques like multiplane cameras and transparent animation cels to create realistic effects and depth for the time. While technology has advanced significantly, the original film challenged conventions and remains influential in animated history.
