According to Wikipedia, the Walt Disney Company or commonly known as Disney, is an American multinational diversified mass media company located at the Walt Disney Studio Burbank, California.   It was founded by the Disney brothers, Walt and Roy in 1923.  Walter Elias or Walt Disney created a short film entitled “Alice’s Wonderland” featuring a child actress interacting with animated characters.   A film distributor named Margaret J. Winkler contacted Walt to distribute a whole series of Alice Comedies based on Walt’s creation of Alice’s Wonderland.  Walt and his brother, Roy, moved to Los Angeles to officially start the business in Robert Disney’s (Walt’s uncle) garage, marking the beginning of the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio.
