Disney at 100

Updated: Sep 12, 2023


On Oct. 16, 2023, the Disney Company will turn 100 years old. From its early days, as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, when it produced six- and seven-minute animated shorts, to more recent times, with theme parks and animated features, I've assembled a list of thirteen episodes that cover the breadth of the company. Early on the list are episodes that feature the voice of Walt, himself. Later on the list are explorations of key artists who contributed to the company's success. Click into some history as we move toward the big date.
