Disney created animation? Hold on while I update my history books!
I always thought that Winsor McCay got things rolling in 1914 with Gertie the Dinosaur with further developments from Max Fleischer and Walter Lanz also working on animation in 1914. Then there was Otto Messmer in 1916 with all his characters that came out
All of that before Steamboat Willie was in theatres in 1928.
It's a good thing that Disney created animation though...
Oh wait... this is supposed to be about influence on Japanese cartoons. Then I guess IMOKAWA MUKUZOU:GENKANBAN NO MAKI(Doorkeeper) which came out in 1917 was also influenced by Disney then.
Of course just because Osamu Tezuka acknowledges that Disney influenced some of his style and animation techniques when he created Astro Boy that means without Disney he wouldn't have been able to create his famous story.
God bless the almighty Disney.
