Walt Disney Productions
The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney (), is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as the Disney Brothers Studio; it also operated under the names the Walt Disney Studio and Walt Disney Productions before changing its name to the Walt Disney Company in 1986. Early on, the company established itself as a leader in the animation industry, with the creation of the widely popular character Mickey Mouse, who is the company's mascot, and the start of animated films. After becoming a major success by the early 1940s, the company started to diversify into live-action films, television, and theme parks in the 1950s. Following Walt's death in 1966, the company's profits began to decline, especially in the animation division. Once Disney's shareholders voted in Michael Eisner as the hea ...

Donald's Nephews
''Donald's Nephews'' (1938) is a Donald Duck animated cartoon which features Donald being visited by his three nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. This cartoon is Huey, Dewey, and Louie's first appearance in animation. Al Taliaferro, the artist for the ''Silly Symphony'' comic strip, proposed the idea for the film, so that the studio would have duck counterparts to Morty and Ferdie Fieldmouse, the nephews of Mickey Mouse. The Walt Disney Productions Story Dept. on February 5, 1937, sent Taliaferro a memo recognizing him as the source of the idea for the planned short. The memo indicated, “we have decided to actually put a story crew to work on ''Donald’s Nephews''.” With the short already in production more than eight months before the boys' ''Donald Duck'' comic strip debut (on October 17, 1937), the animation studio's model sheet and storyline would have been Taliaferro and writer Ted Osborne's frame of reference for the comic strip. Because the strip was an adaptation of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A branch appears from the owl's right and turns into a sinister hand and tries to touch it, which frightens the owl. Subsequently, the short film shows a church in the background. In front of it, there is a trunk with several branches, which are moved by the wind. The minute hand on the church's clock strikes twelve, causing its bell to start tolling, which causes a group of bats to flee from the belfry. The last two bats fly towards the screen before a spider drops down from the tree and crawls right, go ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Chain Gang (1930 Film)
''The Chain Gang'' is a 1930 Mickey Mouse animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, Walt Disney Productions for Columbia Pictures, as part of the ''Mickey Mouse (film series), Mickey Mouse'' film series. It was the twenty-first Mickey Mouse short to be produced, the sixth of that year.

The cartoon was primarily drawn by Norm Ferguson, and featured a pair of bloodhounds, who helped to track down Mickey after his escape from prison. Although these dogs were not named, the style in which they were drawn makes them clear forerunners of Pluto (Disney), Pluto, who first officially appeared a few months later in ''The Picnic (1930 film), The Picnic''. The animation for one of the bloodhound scenes in ''The Chain Gang'' was recycled as Pluto in four later cartoons. Plot Mickey Mouse is in prison, connected with a chain to six other prisoners as th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hockey Homicide
''Hockey Homicide'' is a cartoon made by Walt Disney Productions in 1945, featuring Goofy. Plot Narrator Doodles Weaver explains the rules of ice hockey in satirical format. The narration's emphasis on good sportsmanship is countered by the violence of the players (all of them "played" by Goofy).

How To Play Baseball
