                    Walter Elias Disney has a heart of creativity, will, and strength to uphold all of the company's success. In 1923, he made his first short film called Alice's Wonderland, in California. With all hopes and determination, he decided to sell the series of Alice Comedies to a distributor. With his dreams come true, a distributor from New York, M. J. Winkler, was contracted to delivered the Alice Comedies to the world. From this year, it was a start to The Walt Disney Company.

However with low on money, Disney decided to look for his distributor for some additional money. he later found out that Wrinkler had went behind his back to sign up with almost all his animators in his own studio to make less money without Disney. Since his Distributor owned all the rights to Disneys' Oswald works, there was nothing Disney can do.
