Today, January 13th, is Make Your Dreams Come True Day! Every night, billions of people have dreams of the future, imagining the life they'd like to lead and the goals they'd like to achieve. Unfortunately for so many, their dreams stay just dreams. While some are impossible--like cruising through Gotham City with Batman or swinging through New York City with Spider-Man--other are not. If you're looking to create a comic or a film or learn a new skill, get out there and do it!
To get inspired, here's a list of some Disney comics, inspired by the foremost dreamer himself: Walt Disney! His imagination and dreams created so many lifelong classics that still inspire people today. What are some of your favorite Disney comics? Be sure to let us know on Facebook and Twitter!
