After the battle, which was successful, “Disney arrived back in Kansas in 1919.” Spending about 5 years in Kansas, he made animated cartoon advertisements. “After 1922, He had created a cartoon shop for animation and for making cartoon characters.” “At the age of 23, he was sent to Hollywood around 1923.” “His first creation was Mickey Mouse, which came out very successful.” Mickey Mouse was aired with a steamboat Willie, which was the first sound voice feature. “He soon died on December 15, 1966 in Los Angeles, California.”
