Forever a Kid Walt Disney is well known for his character Mickey Mouse, but he was an artist at a very young age. Walt was always drawing pictures and images to share with others. The most popular character Walt Disney is known for is Mickey Mouse. His name was originally Mortimer Mouse but Lillian Disney, his wife didnt like the name so Walt decided to change it to Mickey Mouse. His first video using Mickey Mouse was called Steamboat Willie, and Walt used his own voice to be the voice of Mickey. Walt Disneys name is still used. His company Disney still makes movies and characters. Walt Disney was a big kid. He created Disneyland a park that was filled with fun and rides. SAMPLE B
