Disney was founded in October 6th, 1923 by brothers Walt & Roy O Disney. Today they are seen in theater, radio, music, publishing & online media.
Walt's 1st cartoon was Mickey mouse formally know as Mortimer Mouse which was designed on a train to CA. His 1st film starring Mickey was "Steamboat Willie" which synchronized sound.
In 1929 Disney created the "Silly Symphony Series" which is now called the Mickey Mouse Club.
Disney's 1st full length animated feature film was Snow White which was released during World War II in 1934. It became the highest grossing film of its time.
He went on to create more films including Pinocchio in 1040, Fantasia in 1940, Dumbo in 1041 & Bambi in 1942.
After World War II box office profits declined.
Disneyland was created in 1955. A place both parents & kids could have fun at the same time. After a shaky start it started to grow across the country & across the globe.

Where would the world be without Disney?
Disneys Passion was creating cartoons & bringing joy to others. His Purpose was to produce films for the public. His mission was to bring others great joy by producing touching cartoon films for the public.
The most booked character for our company is Mickey Mouse still to this day. Imagine a world without Disney characters in it. What a wonderful life it is with his legacy.
