Alice Comedies (1923 - 1927)

The Alice Comedies are a series of live-action / animated short films initially created by Walt Disney and his staff in Kansas City, Missouri at the Laugh-O-gram studios in the early 1920's. The first short film made was Alice's Wonderland and starred Virginia Davis as Alice. The film was never shown theatrically and the studio went bankrupt shortly after. When Disney left for Los Angeles he took the short film with him and tried to secure a distributor for the Alice Comedies. Finally, a deal was arranged through M.J. Winkler Pictures and a contract signed on October 16, 1923. This marked the beginning of the Walt Disney Company, then known as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio. Walt Disney directed and produced all 57 films (counting Alice's Wonderland that was never released) and over the course of the series, four actresses played Alice: Virginia Davis (15 episodes), Margie Gay (31 episodes), Dawn O'Day (1 episode) and Lois Hardwick (10 episodes.)
