The year 1966 in film involved some significant events. A Man for All Seasons won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Entertainment pioneer Walt Disney, best known for his creation of Mickey Mouse, breakthroughs in the field of animation and theme park design and other achievements, died on 15 December 1966 at the age of 65. He died while he was producing The Jungle Book, The Happiest Millionaire, and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day; the last three films under his personal supervision.
