with both children and adults. More cartoons followed, including `Flowers and Trees`. Then three years later Disney created his second cartoon superstar –Donald Duck. By this time he had his own studio and a large team of cartoonists. These were the people who helped to draw the thousand `cells` for `Snow White And the Seven Dwarfs`.
A magical mixture of fantasy, comedy, music and colour, `Snow White` was a landmark in a cartoon history. It was also a huge hit with international audiences, who demanded more full-length cartoons.
They say, Disney seldom praised anybody and he didn't like to show his feelings and emotions. But once when he saw a few episodes from Bambi and turned to the animators there were tears in his eyes. This was how Disney approved of their work. But it happened only twice in thirty-nine years.
Disney respected people who could make some¬thing with their hands. He especially respected the carpenter working in the studio. Although every-one called Disney Walt and he called everybody by their first name, the carpenter was an exception to the rule. Disney always called him Mr. Rogers.
When Walt Disney was making a film, he al¬ways thought not only about children but also about grown-ups. That's why he tried to touch up-on the subjects of nature and life, he wanted to make people think about life, love, justice, about good and evil powers. There were episodes in Dis¬ney's films that did not leave a dry eye in the cine¬ma. At the same time all Disney's films are full of optimism and have a happy ending. A great num¬ber of people were brought up on Walt Disney's films and they are grateful to him for these unfor¬gettable moments in their childhood.
It may seem strange that after the success in animation, Disney directed his energies to a new field — constructing Disneyland. Everybody thought that it was impossible to realize this idea but Disney saw it as continuation of what he had been doing all his life. Disneyland (in California) and Disneyworld (in Florida) receive millions of visitors every year.

2005 is the year of the twin. Of all the A-
level success stories - and with the pass rate
going up again there are more than ever -
four sets of twins. 1) Lydia and Caroline
(L&C),from Gloucester,are both going to
Cambridge University to study veterinary
science after getting five As each - in the
same subjects:maths, biology, physics,
chemistry and general studies. Lydia
admitted competition did come into it. "I'm
glad we got the same, otherwise one of us
would have had boasting about it to the
other." Caroline added: "It's very strange
that we both got the same results, I can't
quite believe it." 2)Alexa and Sophie
(A&S),achieved nine grade-A passes
between them and have both secured places
at Cambridge - although studying different
subjects at different colleges. The twins
were students at Colchester County School
for girls, where 18 pupils achieved five
passes at grade A. Alexa said, "I was
reasonably confident. My As-levels were
good and I only needed to get Cs so it
wasn't much of a shock." 3)Wendy and
Grace (W&G),identical twins, both got four
A-grades and are going to study medicine at
Leeds University together. They do
everything together. Wendy said, "We both
got the same results in our GCSEs and A-
levels so it seems to be becoming a bit of a
habit." Celebrations will be at the local pub
tonight, they said. 4)Henry and Ken
(H&K),both pupils at Bishop Vesey's
grammar school in Sutton Coldfield, West
Midlands, followed their 11 A or A-star
grades at GCSE with five As at A-level -each.
But these twins aren't sticking together.
Henry is to study medicine at Nottingham
University and Ken will be studying
engineeering at Cambridge.
