Here is where it all officially began, Cleaning Up was the first film produced by Laugh-O-Gram Studio, as part of demo reel. This film is not really animated, it just consists of Walt drawing a single frame. It’s also the first film directed by Walt Disney.
This is the first of 11 shorts created by Walt Disney under the Newman Laugh-O-Grams for Laugh-O-Gram Studio. Which would eventually inspire the creation of Mickey Mouse and The Walt Disney Company we know today.
This short shows Walt Disney at his desk as he draws a man, who then turns into a criminal being kicked out of Kansas city. It’s not a thrilling watch by any means but to just watch Walt and his drawing skills is to look back at all those years ago of a man in an office and how his drawings turned into the mass company today.
Enjoy!!
