In 1928, he co-created the character Mickey Mouse with Ub Iwerks, which became his first popular masterpiece; Disney himself also voiced Mickey Mouse in early productions. As the studio grew, he continued to make creative and technical breakthroughs, promoting innovations in synchronized sound, Technicolor, full-length animated filmmaking, and photography. Relevant achievements are reflected in works such as "Snow White" (1937), "Pinocchio" and "Fantasia" (both 1940), "Dumbo" (1941) and "Bambi" (1942), which have a profound impact on the development of animated films.
