A brief history Walt Disney Animation

Walt Disney Studios is arguably (or at least within my family) the best movie companies out there. However good their live action movies were concerned, the animations that the company has produced have been some of the most ground breaking animations out there. So please, sit back, keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times, and please enjoy our complementary popcorn as we journey into:

The History of Walt Disney Studios

Walt (bottom row, right) and his staff at the Hyperion studio.
Our story begins where a young Walt Disney and his brother Roy Disney purchased the back side of a realty group in Los Angeles California back in 1923. There, the brothers made a series of short films (both live action and animated) that collectively were called Alice Comedies. Those short films were rather successful, as within four months of opening the small studio they decided, along with the people that they hired before hand, to move next door into a larger building. Nearly a year later, the brothers made a deposit on a piece of land in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles. It was there that the team made numerous animated wonders.

The Elite Seven

Their first full length feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarf proved to be a huge success. The movie was given critical acclaim all around the world. After that, the team pumped out other great animations like Fantasia, Bambi, and Alice in Wonderland just to name a few. The company also made live-action movies, however that is for another class....
