On October 16, 1923, Margaret Winkler was struggling to find a distributor for her "Felix the Cat" cartoon shorts. Afraid that she might loose the rights to Felix, she made a risky decision and hired a young cartoonist, Walt Disney, to help her create a new series of cartoons called "The Alice Comedies". With his creativity, Walt was able to mix live-action with his cartoons, creating something that had never been done before. This agreement between Walt and Margaret Winkler officially started Walt into the entertainment business, thus, calling it the birth of the Walt Disney Company! Happy Birthday!

Thanks! The Walt Disney Museum in SF has a wall dedicated to this - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 3:08PM

That's exactly where I first learned about this! - BaseballMickey_CM 2823.6 #16 4:58PM

it's really cute and funny how they did it - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1788.8 #42 10:56PM

That is awesome! I never knew this, great history lesson - sleepyhead 368.0 #375 2:33PM

Wow! That is very cool! Never knew that. - meridafan 1034.5 #83 2:38PM

I do like that movie. Thanks for the history. - Tealtownfan 692.5 #143 2:52PM

Back in the twenties she gave permission to Felix Chevrolet to use Felix The Cat for their logo. They could use for free as long as the dealership kept the name. The giant Felix neon sign is stll high above Felix Chevrolet on Figueroa in LA. - ScooterMike 1959.8 #35 3:15PM

What a great piece of history! - JRDrummer_CM 789.4 #117 3:34PM

Thanks! That is so interesting! - iwantdisney 258.0 #924 3:38PM

Good stuff! - Duchess_SMK 3257.7 #11 4:59PM

Hehe I'm wearing my Felix the cat sweatshirt, today! How fitting! - AvidDisneyThrifter220 842.7 #108 7:52PM

Pretty incredible beginnings to Walt's story. The first piece which led to Oswald the Rabbit to getting the rug pulled from him by the distributor to then taking that shock to come up with...yep...Mickey Mouse. Hapstance! - campy 13.6 #5891 10:55PM
