Here's why:
* Early Pioneer: Disney was a pioneer in the development of hand-drawn animation, creating innovative techniques like the "multiplane camera" to create depth and realism.
* Iconic Characters: His most beloved characters, like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Snow White, were all brought to life through this method.
* The Disney Legacy: Disney's hand-drawn animation style became synonymous with the Disney brand and influenced generations of animators.
While Disney explored other animation styles later on, like CGI in "Toy Story" and "Monsters, Inc.," his legacy is deeply rooted in the magic of hand-drawn animation.
