This article initially speaks about how process of how Disney becomes famous by "building" from others ideas.

Mickey Mouse ---- Synchronised sound (mix of sound with cartoons) --- Sound+Motion ----Comic!

I think it's a smart idea Disney used the different tools of technology for Mickey mouse, as it contributed a huge deal of success due to it. Similarly, so did building upon other people idea and creativity into creating his own masterpiece.

In my Opinion Creators are the people who first come up with the idea and implement it. If one were to use other people’s ideas or creativity, to me personally I feel it is fine, however one should give credit to the original source!

There are so many examples apart from Disney of building upon other people’s idea/creativity. For example, allot of our traditional believes or cultures has been a "coincidently" the same as some of others. It is fine to do so, however always give credit to the originator instead of "claiming" otherwise.

If people do not built upon other people’s ideas, then there would be less creativity in a product, when there is less creativity we would not have products and services today such as a smartphone; where there is allot of other features apart from the original phone feature.
