Disney Information and History
Disney was born on December 5, 1901, at 2156 N. Tripp Avenue in Chicago's Hermosa
community area to Irish-Canadian father Elias Disney and Flora Cal Disney, who was of German and English descent. His great-grandfather, Arundel Elias Disney, had
emigrated from Gowran, County Kilkenny, Ireland where he was born in 1801. Arundel
Disney was a descendant of Robert designee, a Frenchman who had travelled to England
with William the Conqueror in 1066. With the designee name anglicized as "Disney", the
family settled in a village now known as Norton Disney, south of the city of Lincoln, in
the county of Lincolnshire.
Disney was 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 22 Academy Awards from a total of 59 nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual in history. Disney also won seven Emmy Awards and gave his name to the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the U.S., as well as the international resorts like Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland.
Toy Story
History behind the film
Toy Story is a 1995 American computer-animated family buddy comedy film produced by Pixar and directed by John Lasseter. Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, Toy Story was the first feature-length computer-animated film and the first film produced by Pixar. Toy Story follows a group of anthropomorphic toys who pretend to be lifeless whenever humans are present, and focuses on the relationship between Woody, a pullstring cowboy doll (Tom Hanks), and Buzz Lightyear, an astronaut action figure (Tim Allen). The film was written by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen, Alec Sokolow, and Joss Whedon, and featured music by Randy Newman. Its executive producer was Steve Jobs with Edwin Catmull.

Key Jobs:
Producer During the "discovery stage" the
producer has to find and acknowledge promising material. Often a producer must then retrieve the film rights or an option. If the rights owner is worried about preserving the integrity, voice and vision of his/her work, the producer might have to comply with a variety of demands concerning the screenplay, the film director, the casts or other topics.
Director A theatre director has responsibility
for the overall practical and creative interpretation of a dramatic script or musical score, taking into account the budgetary and physical constraints of production. They are involved at all stages of the process, from the design and pre-production stages and rehearsal right through to the final performance.
Every writer and teleplay begins with an idea, and screenwriters use those ideas to write scripts, with the intention of selling them and having them produced. The majority of the time, a film project gets initiated by a screenwriter and because they initiated the project, the writing assignment exclusively becomes his or hers.These are referred to as "exclusive" assignments or "pitched" assignments.

In its early stages of development, television employed a combination of optical, mechanical and electronic technologies to capture, transmit and display a visual image. By the late 1920s, however, those employing only optical and electronic technologies were being explored. All modern television systems relied on the latter, although the knowledge gained from the work on electromechanical systems was crucial in the development of fully electronic television.
History

My Favourite TV Shows
What more can I possibly say about a TV show that has already been praised to death? I was 15 when the Simpsons first aired and I'm 25 now. I've seen every single episode, and I'd
have to say it's a rare combination of factors that come together to make The Simpsons the
best show ever.
I've watched all the episodes, then watched them again on disc as they came out. This is a show I felt
was worth owning and having to watch the full series over and over again every other year or so. Absolutely LOVE these characters (all of em; the boys, the girls, their coworkers and friends, and their relatives) and how they interact with each other. Their problems are real and the ways they
find to deal with them (solved or not) are wonderful. ------ I wait all week on pins and needles just to see what's happening next. ----- If this show
continues for another ten years, I'll still be right there watching it all and waiting impatiently for
next weeks' episode. The only bad thing I can say about this show is that there is only one new
episode each week -- I'd love to see three or four each week (though I know that would put an
unreasonable load of work on the staff of the show, actors and writers alike ... people do have lives to
live outside of the
