Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist, well-known for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. Along with his brother Roy O. Disney, he was co-founder of Walt Disney Productions, which later became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation is now now known as The Walt Disney Company and has annual revenues of approximately USD $35 billion. Disney is particularly noted as a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, for whom Disney himself provided the original voice. During his lifetime he received four honorary Academy Awards and won twenty-two Academy Awards from a total of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual in history.[citation needed] Disney also won seven Emmy Awards and gave his name to the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong. The year after his December 15, 1966 death from lung cancer in Burbank, California, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971. Description above from the Wikipedia article Walt Disney, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

for Rest in Peace in Disney's FANTASIA 2025

Like Fantasia 2000, there will be celebrities giving introductions to certain segments. Here's what I think could happen: During Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" there will be angels and Pegasuses; During Mozart's "Symphony No. 40" a young man and woman go ice skating at Rockefeller Center or a frozen lake and a shady skater tries to grab the girl for himself and the hero challenges the adversary to a skate-off; Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train" will show musicians taking the actual A Train and they use the magic of music to overcome the chaos on the streets of Harlem; there will be the prematurely created "Little Match Girl" short film; the "Lorenzo" short film; the Mickey Mouse short film, "Springtime"; "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" as always; "Swan Lake" or "The Planets" starring Goofy; And maybe Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" which will feature the forests of Yellowstone (with Humphrey the Bear making a cameo).
