How did Walt Disney contribute to modern day media and society?

I'm doing a project on how Walt Disney has affected modern day American society. Can you please give examples of how his influence is still seen today?



Thank you very much!How did Walt Disney contribute to modern day media and society?

In his later years, Disney devoted substantial time towards funding The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). It was formed in 1961 through a merger of the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and the Chouinard Art Institute, which had helped in the training of the animation staff during the 1930s. When Disney died, one-fourth of his estate went towards CalArts, which helped in building its campus. In his will, Disney paved the way for creation of several charitable trusts which included one for the California Institute of the Arts and other for the Disney Foundation.[76] He also donated 38 acres (Template:Convert/sqmi km虏) of the Golden Oaks ranch in Valencia for the school to be built on. CalArts moved onto the Valencia campus in 1971.
