In the late 1930s, he issued full-length cartoon films. Snow White became an instant commercial and critical success. This was only the first of many films, both animated and not, produced by Disney and his studio. But as renowned as Disney name is for cartoons and movies, it is probably best known for a string of spectacular amusement and theme parks.
