CASE STUDYWhat kid doesn't grow up to want to be a part of Disney in some way? Walt Disney Company opened in 1923. In 1937, the first fully animated cartoon was released, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Disney Studios has become a source of inspiration for many cartoonists, but none more so than John Lasseter. Lasseter dreamed of becoming part of the Walt Disney Company family. As a child, he watched the 1963 film, "The Sword and the Stone," and told his mother he wanted to draw for Disney. In high school, Lasseter read "The Art of Animation" and discovered his passion and people could make a living drawing cartoons. He immediately began writing for Disney Studios and let them know that he was extremely interested in drawing cartoons for them. Representatives of the Disney studios demanded that Lasseter receive an excellent art education. Lasseter attended the California Institute of Arts and enrolled in the character animation program. During the summer, he got jobs at Disney, which only made him more passionate about animation. In 1979, Lasseter finally joined the Disney family as an animator. In the early 1980s, computer graphics technology for animation emerged and Lasseter became captivated. Disney wasn't as captivated as Lasseter, but Disney executives gave Lasseter and a colleague the chance to make a 30-second test film. Disney rejected the idea because executives didn't like Lasseter and spoke negatively to the studio head about the pitch. Lasseter found out what happened and knew the studio head had made up his mind before he even walked in. Not only on the same day, but within minutes of the pitch, John Lasseter was fired from Disney by a superior who didn't care about him. and made it very obvious...... middle of paper ......gs you learn as you go. When you make a mistake, you don't start again. Power and politics are everywhere in organizations, so make ethical decisions and you're sure to rise to the top. CITY WORKS Daniel.
