Happy Birthday Disney!
On this day in 1923, Walt Disney signs a contract with M. J. Winkler to produce a series of Alice Comedies — this date is considered the start of the Disney company, first known as The Disney Brothers Studio.

The Walt Disney Company started in 1923 in the rear of a small office occupied by Holly-Vermont Realty in Los Angeles. It was there that Walt Disney, and his brother Roy, produced a series of short live-action/animated films collectively called the ALICE COMEDIES. The rent was a mere $10 a month. Within four months, the ever-growing staff moved next door to larger facilities, where the sign on the window read “Disney Bros. Studio” (shown above). A year later, in 1925, the Disneys made a deposit on a Hyperion Avenue lot in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles. Construction began on the new studio shortly thereafter. During the next 14 years, many changes took place at the Disney studio: Mickey Mouse was “born” in 1928, followed by Pluto, Goofy, Donald Duck, and the rest of the Disney gang.
Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse
On this day in 1928, Mickey Mouse appeared for the first time, with Walt Disney doing the voice of his soon-to-be-famous creation, in “Steamboat Willie,” the first fully synchronized sound cartoon produced. The film was officially released on November 18th.
