This is a repost of a story I first shared just about a month ago. The reason I'm sharing it again so soon is there is much more to the story and I wanted to tell the rest of it tomorrow. Thanks in advance for reading!!

Walt Disney saw one of the first ever talking motion pictures, “The Jazz Singer”, starring Al Jolson, in 1927. As soon as he saw it, he knew that “talkies” were the future of film. By the summer of 1928, Walt and his team had already completed two silent Mickey Mouse cartoons, “Plane Crazy” and “The Gallopin’ Gaucho”. Walt decided it was as good a time as any to give synchronized sound a shot, so when he and his team drew up the third Mickey short, “Steamboat Willie”, they animated it with small cues in the corner of the film that would indicate to the recording musicians that there were changes upcoming in the music or sound effects. Remember, this was 1928! Literally all of the sounds and music would have to be recorded at the same time in one big room and in one take! 😲

One night in July of 1928, once the animation for “Steamboat Willie” was finished, Walt invited his wife, Lillian, his brother Roy and his wife, Edna, and all of his animators and their wives to the studio for a “sound screening” of the new film. They projected the film on white sheet, and Walt and his animators took turns making the “sound and music” for the cartoon. Walt even provided the voices for Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Everyone in attendance agreed, after a few tries, that the concept could actually work! ❤ Walt was extremely hopeful that he had made a major breakthrough in animation!

Walt packed his bag which included his finished and marked up “Steamboat Willie” and set off by train to New York City, where he hoped to find a recording company who could handle his request. He made a pit stop in Kansas City where he visited a colleague and friend, composer Carl Stalling, who Walt persuaded to create an original musical score for the cartoon. Walt got to New York and started meeting with the big recording companies, which he found either too expensive or not up to his standards. He finally settled on a recording process called Cinephone that was owned by a larger than life personality named Pat Powers. Powers charmed the heck out of Walt, and Walt wrote his brother Roy back in California and told him that the studio would be going into business with him. What Walt did not know was that Powers was infamous in the movie business for being a slick-talking cheat. His Cinephone system was actually pirated parts of other, patented recording systems. Walt would get into some trouble with Powers down the line (but that's a story for another day). 🙂

The first recording with Powers turned out to be an absolute disaster. Walt had instructed the conductor of the orchestra to follow the marks on the film, but the orchestra simply couldn’t keep up. It was too large and there were far too many pieces.
Walt again wrote to Roy, telling him that he knew they were close, and it made no sense to turn back now. He asked Roy for more money so that he could give Mickey’s synchronized sound one more chance. When Roy wrote back, asking where his brother expected him to find the money, Walt told him to sell his prized Moon Roadster, a fancy car Walt had purchased when he first had some success. ❤ He wrote, “I am figuring on a good release. I don’t think we will have any trouble getting it; this may mean the making of a big organization out of our little Dump. Why should we let a few dollars jeopardize our chances? I think this is Old Man Opportunity rapping at our door. Let’s don’t let the jingle of a few pennies drown out his knock. See my point? So slap as big a mortgage on everything we got and let’s go after this thing in the right manner.” ❤🏰

Roy sold Walt’s car and raised the money, then wired it to his kid brother. The next attempt at synchronizing the sound went perfectly, and Walt was the proud owner of the first ever talking cartoon! “Steamboat WIllie” premiered at the Colony Theater on November 18, 1928. It was the smash success that Walt Disney thought it would be! ❤🏰❤

Thank you so much for reading another one of these!! I know this is another long one! This story is in every Walt Disney biography and the quote from Walt is from Bob Thomas’s book, “Walt Disney: An American Original”, which is one you should absolutely buy while you are waiting for my book to come out! 😉 Thank you again for reading and I hope you enjoyed this one! Have a great Friday night!! 🙏❤🙏❤
