Robert rented a small garage to Walt and Roy when they began to operate in California, and provided some much needed cash to help them pursue their dream of making cartoons!
Walt had invited Virginia Davis, an American child actor, who was already a live-action star of Alice’s Wonderland and Alice and her parents moved from Kansas City to continue to work for Walt Disney. Walt and Roy also hired two new employees who ink and painted the celluloid. Walt rented a shabby shooting camera and installed it in the garage. Roy operated the camera, and Walt was responsible for animation. On October 16, 1923, Walt Disney and his older brother Roy O. Disney founded “Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio.”
Walt and Roy always said: "If Uncle Robert had not rented us his garage and loaned us some cash, it is likely our dream of making cartoons would have been far more difficult!"
