DISNEY MOVIE OPENED ON THIS DAY IN 1950

Cinderella (1950) Poster #1 - Trailer Addict

On this day in 1950, Cinderella made a bibbidi, bobbidi de-boo
in theaters. In the ads to market the film, Cinderella promised
to “Put a smile in your heart… and laughter in your dreams.”

The ad continued, “A story written in stardust… six years in
the making… Walt Disney’s Cinderella will give a new gleam
to your hopes, a new lift to your life.

You’ll take it to your heart, not only because it’s the greatest
love story ever told — though that’s reason enough if you’ve
ever been in love. But because it’s so full of the wonderful fun,
hilarious characters, singable songs — the sheer enchantment
that comes only from Disneyland.”

MEDIA COMPANY BEGAN ON THIS DAY

This Day In History - Oct 16 - 1923 - Walt and Roy Disney found Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio ...

On October 16, 1923, Walt Disney and his brother Roy found
the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in
Hollywood, California.

The studio, now known as the Walt Disney Company, has had
an oversized impact on the entertainment industry and is now
one of the largest media companies in the world.

A talented artist from a young age, Walt Disney drew cartoons
for various publications and became interested in cell animation
while working for the Kansas City Film Ad Company. After his
Laugh-O-Gram Studio went bankrupt in 1923, Walt moved to
Los Angeles, where Roy was recovering from tuberculosis.

While there, he finally sold a short film produced by Laugh-O-
Gram, Alice’s Wonderland, and signed a contract to make six
more such films. In order to produce the series, the brothers
founded their company and persuaded both Virginia Davis,
who played Alice, and their collaborator Ub Iwerks to join
them in Hollywood.
