what was disney's 1930 first feature- length animation
Walt Disney Animation Studios In 1934, Walt Disney gathered several key staff members and announced his plans to make his first feature animated film. Despite derision from most of the film industry, who dubbed the production "Disney's Folly," Disney proceeded undaunted into the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,[37] which would become the first animated feature in English and Technicolor. Considerable training and development went into the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the studio greatly expanded with established animators, artists from other fields, and recent college graduates joining the studio to work on the film. The training classes, supervised by the head animators such as Les Clark, Norm Ferguson, and Art Babbit and taught by Donald W. Graham, an art teacher from the nearby Chouinard Art Institute,[11][37] had begun at the studio in 1932 and were greatly expanded into orientation training and continuing education classes.[11][37] In the course of teaching the classes, Graham and the animators created or formalized many of the techniques and processes that became the key tenets and principles of traditional animation.[11] Silly Symphonies such as The Goddess of Spring (1934) and The Old Mill (1937) served as experimentation grounds for new techniques such as the animation of realistic human figures, special effects animation, the use of the multiplane camera,[38] an invention which split animation artwork layers into several planes, allowing the camera to appear to move dimensionally through an animated scene.[39]

Gilbert Gottfried In March 2011, Gottfried made a series of jokes on his Twitter account about the
Copyright Term Extension Act Since 1990, The Walt Disney Company had lobbied for copyright extension.[12][13] The legalisation delayed the entry into the public domain of the earliest Mickey Mouse movies, leading detractors to the nickname "The Mickey Mouse Protection Act".[4]
