The
Walt
Disney
Company
started
in
1923
in
the
rear
of
a
small
office
occupied
by
Holly-Vermont
Realty
in
Los
Angeles.
It
was
there
that
Walt
Disney
and
his
brother
Roy
produced
a
series
of
short
live-action/animated
films
collectively
called
the
ALICE
COMEDIES.
The
rent
was
a
mere
$10
a
month.
Within
four
months
the
ever-growing
staff
moved
next
door
to
larger
facilities
where
the
sign
on
the
window
read
"Disney
Bros.
Studio."
A
year
later
in
1925
the
Disneys
made
a
deposit
on
a
Hyperion
Avenue
lot
in
the
Silver
Lake
district
of
Los
Angeles.
Construction
began
on
the
new
studio
shortly
thereafter.
During
the
next
14
years
many
changes
took
place
at
the
Disney
studio:
Mickey
Mouse
was
"born"
in
1928
followed
by
Pluto
Goofy
Donald
Duck
and
the
rest
of
the
Disney
gang.
