01:30The year was 1932, and Walt Disney's first color cartoon, Flowers and Trees, earned the fledgling Disney Studio its first Academy Award.
01:42In fact, it was the first year a cartoon could have won, because the short subject category simply didn't exist until then.
01:50According to popular industry legend, the creation of the short subject award was a direct result of Disney's pioneering animation in his Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphony cartoons.
02:01And since the familiar Oscar statuette wasn't presented to cartoon winners until the early 1940s, Walt's first Academy recognition came in the form of a certificate.
02:11Disney titles then went on to capture the short subject Oscar in nine of the next ten years.
02:19Disney's early Academy Award winners drew on popular fables and familiar storylines.
02:24And by the late 1930s, Disney favorites like Pluto and Donald Duck were starring in their own Oscar-winning shorts.
02:32In 1933, Disney's favorite leading mouse was up against tough competition.
02:41Mickey and Minnie's rendition of the song Box Lunch helped Building a Building corner an Oscar nomination.
02:46But that same year, the public and the Motion Picture Academy were dancing to a different tune
03:00as Disney's Three Little Pigs pitched in to help raise America's Depression-age spirits.
03:05Big bad wolf, who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
03:08In 1935, Disney's Three Orphan Kittens caught Oscar's eye with a combination of skillful characterization
03:18and new concepts in perspective and movement.
03:21In this scene, an effect that animators call a moving vanishing point creates a unique sense of depth and action.
03:28By 1938, the studio's animators were being encouraged to take greater and greater creative risks in their work.
03:35Ferdinand the Bull is a prime example.
03:40In one of the film industry's more outlandish inside jokes,
03:43we see caricatures of Disney animators Ham Lusk, Jack Campbell, Freddie Moore, and Art Babbitt entering the ring.
03:52Then came the matador, the proudest of all.
03:57Recognize that matador? It's Walt Disney himself.
04:01And Disney innovations weren't limited to the studio's early years.
04:04In Disney's 1960 Oscar nominee, Goliath II,
04:08we see the first use of the studio's revolutionary Xerox process for producing animation cells.
04:15This new technique, which soon came into widespread use,
04:18allowed cartoon makers to bypass the laborious hand-inking of individual cells.
04:24Yes, there are many technical advances,
04:26but basically the thing that gives us more depth is the ability to draw the way it should be drawn for this medium.
04:33The way you shape a line, the way you draw the figures.
04:39That contributes an awful lot to the depth and to the overall effect that you see today with the cartoon.
04:47His ability to blend story and character with technical breakthroughs spelled unrivaled success for Walt Disney.
04:54He would go on to win more Academy Awards than any other individual filmmaker.
05:00Through the years, the name Disney has meant winning entertainment from Walt and his unforgettable cast of supporting players.
05:07He would go on to win more Academy Awards.
