5/1/11 INSIDE WALT DISNEY's GARAGE STUDIO: WHERE THE DREAM BEGAN

this was his uncle's garage in the los feliz neighborhood of L.A, Now its at the garden grove historical museum..
“Walt Disney came to Hollywood in July1923, to try and find a job in the movie industry. When he had no luck, he decided to try cartoons again. He was rooming with his uncle, Robert Disney, at 4406 Kingswell Ave. at the time. “From an interview:“ Walt:…When things began to look hopeless, I then got my cartoon thing out again. And I built myself a cartoon stand out of plywood boxes and any lumber I could pick up somewhere…. He [Uncle Robert] let me use his garage“ He did some preliminary work on a reel, probably in the garage, but word came on the purchase of a series of ‘Alice Comedies,’ so the Pantages reel was never finished. Walt moved down the street on October 8, 1923, to 4651 Kingswell, and there in the back of a real estate office set up the first Disney Studio. A contract was signed for the ‘Alice Comedies’ on October 16, 1923, the official date of the beginning of the Disney Studio. Walt only lived with his uncle for a few months.http://www.mouseplanet.com/8366/The_Little_Disney_Garage_Nobody_Wanted
