Disney is considered by many to be the greatest animation producer of all time. He got his start in animation at the Kansas City Slide Company where he met many of his future animation colleagues. He started three animation studios in Kansas City, including the Laugh-O-Gram Film Studio where he and his staff advanced their animation skills.

They worked together for most of their careers including Kansas City Film Ad Service, the Iwerks-Disney Studio, Laugh-O-Gram Film Studio, Disney Brother’s Studio and Walt Disney Studios.

During his short stint as an independent studio owner, Iwerks was an important contributor to many of the new animation studios in California such as M.G.M. and Screen Gems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613f9c368dee6d2c3f8db7f9/888276eb-75bd-466b-9318-a6bf21848d10/isis-theatre-1.jpg History Isis Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613f9c368dee6d2c3f8db7f9/dfc2c379-ab67-4139-af57-c5873717f35f/hughharman.jpg History Hugh Harman started working with Disney as a teenager when Walt taught teen boys how to animate in return for their work on his projects.

He created background music for Walt’s Laugh-O-Grams when screened at the Isis. Stalling helped Walt through tough times by working with Disney on a sing-along “Song-O-Reel” and by investing in his animation studio. Disney engaged Stalling in develop-ing a synchronized musical solution for his Steamboat Willie cartoon. This secured Disney’s future success and launched Stalling’s musical leadership with Disney and later with Warner Brothers. He is credited as a creator for “click track” technology still used today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613f9c368dee6d2c3f8db7f9/9d509e0e-228e-4ec5-8d16-e1d910ba3605/Medium+sized+JPEG+%282%29.jpg History Kansas City Film Ad Co. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613f9c368dee6d2c3f8db7f9/2c700af1-5189-49d2-9d77-5def604b3d8b/frelang.jpg History Isadore "Friz" Freleng was a year behind Hugh Harman at Westport High School where they both drew cartoons for the yearbook.
