On October 16th, 1923, two brothers got together and formed an animation studio. It was called The Disney Brother Cartoon Studio. Walt and Roy Disney had just signed a contract with Winkler Pictures to produce a film series called “Alice Comedies”. They moved to new building in 1926 and renamed it Walt Disney Studio. Inspired by Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt created his own character named Mickey Mouse. Since then Walt Disney Studio had more successes, starting with their first animated movie, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”, and then developing more movies such as Mary Poppins, Dumbo, and The Little Mermaid. They also licensed their IP for video games: the Game & Watch egg-catching game called Mickey Mouse, Tron for the arcade and consoles, and The Black Cauldron, an early computer game developed by Sierra On-Line.
This week we are celebrating Walt Disney and the video games related to the studio: a rich uncle searching for great treasure, a cub of the Pridelands, and a young boy that is the key to saving the universe. We also have covers and remixes to follow each of these original tracks.
Come and celebrate the man who opened the door to world of imagination and discovery…
