Walt Disney is known for creating some of the most beloved children's movies in history. But his path to success wasn't a direct one.

Born in Chicago in 1901, Disney's journey began in 1923, when he moved to California to make cartoons. He made a series of silent cartoons called Alice Comedies, which became successful and led to the founding of the Walt Disney Studio.

In 1927, Walt Disney created a new cartoon character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and made 26 short films with him in just one year.

However, when Disney asked for more money to continue making them, he discovered that his distributor had secretly hired his animators to make Oswald cartoons without him. Worse still, Disney didn't own the character of Oswald — the distributor did.

This setback forced Disney to create a new character. And that's how he came up with his most famous creation — Mickey Mouse. Mickey first appeared in the 1928 movie Steamboat Willie, and became an instant hit.

Disney then made the world's first full-color cartoon, 1932's Flowers and Trees, winning him an Oscar for Best Short Subject.

Building on these successes, Disney began working on his first full-length movie in 1934 — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Over 300 people were involved in making the movie, including animators and artists. It went four times over its budget, and some dubbed the movie "Disney's Folly," believing it would fail.

But it didn't — when it was released in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs became the highest-grossing film of all time, although it lost that title two years later to Gone with the Wind.

Walt Disney passed away in 1966, but his legacy lived on. His company continued to release successful animated movies like The Little Mermaid and The Lion King, and now also creates successful computer animated films like Frozen and Moana.

Hi, so you want to improve your business English skills. In order to speak like and understand native speakers, it's important to understand the business idioms which native speakers use on a daily basis. In this podcast I will use 11 business idioms. See you if you can spot them. When you hear an idiom pause the podcast and write it down, then, next to the idiom, write the word or phrase which corresponds to the meaning of the idiom. Your task is to match the idioms to their meanings. I will do the first one for you as an example. In order to organize my tasks every day I have to get my ducks in a row. So the first idiom you should write down is 'get my ducks in a row'. The word you should write next to it is 'organize.' Now, let's get down to business.

男：有一位在中国的外国博主的视频，最近得到了外交部的点赞。
外交部：很高兴看到外国朋友们在中国享受美景、美食，亲身感受生动真实的中国。
男：就是那位带着一家老小在中国那个"啊，city不city啊？好city啊"。人家博主回应了，说这个city就是城市化的意思。
女：唉呦，人家是真的挺了解的。
男：对中国是真正的了解。我们来看一下数据。国家移民管理局今天发布了一个数据，今年上半年全国各口岸入境外国人1463.5万人次，同比增长152.7%。
女：其中通过免签入境的是854.2万人次，同比增长190.1%，预计今年下半年外国人来华的热度将持续地升温。
男：唉，你看就这个"city不city"这个用法啊，这就很中西合璧。以前咱们老说叫中式英语（Chinglish），现在你这个这叫什么呢？英式汉语。我觉得这种用法本身就是两种文化碰撞的一种火花了。
女：并且我也在想外国博主的city梗在咱们中国网友这圈里玩得也挺火的，还真的有一种地球村的村民常来常往，我到你们家做客，来，咱们拉拉家常这种热闹劲儿。
男：而且最近大家也都看到新闻了，说现在你只要在这个国外的视频平台上挂上中国旅行的关键词就能收获大量的观看。说明啥？说明大伙儿都想看看中国。
女：特别是来了吧，都说好，来了还想来。说明的的确确值得来啊。
男：咱们出国之前其实经常也会在短视频上搜索攻略，那外国朋友来之前你想他也得是一样的想法吧。
女：那肯定。
男：所以我觉得我们的文化是那么不同，但是我们又是那么相同。
