In 1920, Walt Disney met
Ub Iwerks in Kansas City
and started a small
company called
Laugh-O-Grams
In 1923, Laugh-O-Grams
fell bankrupt.
With his suitcase and
$20, Walt headed to
Hollywood with Iwerks
and his brother Roy.
Disney Legend Ub Iwerks
is most-often known as
the animator who worked
directly with Walt Disney
and first animated Mickey
Mouse & Minnie Mouse in the
“Silly Symphony” Series.
Ub Iwerks was so much
more than just that!
He was
Walt’s
Ultimate Inventor!
His career consisted of
many innovative contributions
to both animated & live-action
motion pictures, as well as
the fields of optics, film
processes, & special effects.
He was also the major
force behind the design of
special cameras, projectors,
electronics, and audio for
theme park projects.
Walt Disney, Inc. (WDI) was formed
on December 16, 1952 as an engineering
division tasked with designing Disneyland.
It was soon renamed WED Enterprises
in 1953 based on Walt Disney’s initials.
In September of 1953, Walt recruited artist
Herbert Ryman to create an aerial
rendering of Disneyland.
Roy Disney took Ryman’s original drawings
to New York to attract investors that
included the fledgling ABC Television
Network to provide financing in exchange
for a weekly Disney TV Series.
