TEENAGE YEARS
In 1917, his Father acquired shares in theO-Zell jelly factory in Chicago and moved his family back to the city, where in the fall Disney began his freshman year at McKinley High School and took courses at the Chicago Art Institute. He became the cartoonist for the school newspaper, drawing patriotic topics and focusing on World War I.
In 1919 Walt moved back to Kansas City to begin his artistic career. He decided on a career as anewspaper artist, drawing political caricatures or comic strips, so his brother Roy got Walt a temporary job at the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio where he created advertisements for newspapers, magazines, and movie theaters. At Pesmen-Rubin he met cartoonist Ubbe Iwerks and when their time at the studio expired, they decided to start their own commercial company together.
In 1920, while working for the KansasCity Film Ad Company, where he made commercials based on cutout animations, Disney became interested in animation, and decided to become an animator. Disney eventually decided to open his own animation business, to screen their cartoons at his local theater, which they titled Laugh-O-Grams.

LAUGH-O-GRAMS
Disney's cartoons became widely popular in the Kansas City area and through theirsuccess; he was able to acquire his own studio, also called Laugh-O-Gram for which he hired a vast number of additional animators, including his close friend Ubbe Iwerks. Unfortunately, studio profits were insufficient to cover the high salaries paid to employees. Disney's studio became loaded with debt and wound up bankrupt whereupon he decided to set up a studio in Hollywood, California.
HOLLYWOODDisney and his brother set up a cartoon studio in Hollywood where they needed to find a distributor for Walt's new Alice Comedies, which he had started making while in Kansas City but never got to distribute. Disney sent an unfinished print to New York distributor, who promptly wrote back to him that she was keen on a distribution deal for more live-action/animated shorts based upon Alice'sWonderland.
Alice comedies
Virginia Davis, the live-action star of Alice’s Wonderland and her family had to move from Kansas to Hollywood at Disney's request, as did Iwerks and his family.
