Disney and his brother Roy pooled their money and set up a cartoon studio in Hollywood

The Disney studio expanded and Walt re-hired Harman, Rudolph Ising, Carman Maxwell, and Friz Freleng from Kansas City.

Disney went to New York in February 1928 to negotiate a higher fee per short and was shocked when Mintz told him that not only did he want to reduce the fee he paid Disney per short but also that he had most of his main animators, including Harman, Ising, Maxwell, and Freleng — but not Iwerks, who refused to leave Disney — under contract and would start his own studio if Disney did not accept the reduced production budgets.

After losing the rights to Oswald, Disney felt the need to develop a new character to replace him, which was based on a mouse he had adopted as a pet while working in his Laugh-O-Gram studio in Kansas City.

Although both series were successful, the Disney studio thought it was not receiving its rightful share of profits from Pat Powers, and in 1930, Disney signed a new distribution deal with Columbia Pictures.

Iwerks was soon lured by Powers into opening his own studio with an exclusive contract, while Stalling would also later leave Disney to join Iwerks.

After his return to the Disney studio, Iwerks mainly worked on developing special visual effects.

Animated charts were created by Walt Disney and his animators.

Master animator Richard Williams explains the KISS principle in his book The Animator's Survival Kit, and Disney's Nine Old Men write about it in Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life, which is considered " the animation bible " by CG, traditional, and stop motion animators.

However, while animation for a time suffered at Disney from Iwerks ' departure, it soon rebounded as Disney brought in talented new young animators.

While his fellow animators remained at Mintz's studio, Disney decided to quit his job and therefore leave the character he created.

Unofficially, even Disney's animators believed that Walt Disney chose the name to capitalize on the sensation of the newly named planet.

All animation was done by Walt Disney himself in the period of time before he was financially stable enough to employ a team of animators for successive films.

Unlike the Disney adaptations, the animators did not base their depictions of the characters on Shepard's illustrations, creating a different look.

In 1929 former Disney animators Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising made a cartoon entitled Bosko, the Talk-Ink Kid, and tried to sell it to a distributor in 1930.

After his departure, Disney eventually found a number of different animators to replace Iwerks.

Frank Tashlin and John Hubley, were Disney animators who left during the strike, and obtained jobs at Screen Gems, where Tashlin served as head producer while Hubley acted as director for studio.

In 1943 John Hubley left Screen Gems and formed a studio with former Disney animators Stephen Bosustow, David Hilberman, and Zachary Schwartz, who — like Hubley — had left Walt's nest during the animator's strike.

Disney's " Nine Old Men ", the animators responsible for Disney's most famous earlier works, and their associates began to hand their traditions down to a new generation of Disney animators.

Disney artists and animators were relocated into warehouses in Pasadena.

Walt Disney personally supervised with the ' double H ' design, ensuring as many rooms as possible had windows, allowing natural light into the building to help the animators while working.

As well as attending Saturday courses at the Kansas City Art Institute, Walt often took Ruth to Electric Park, 15 blocks from their home, which Disney would later acknowledge as a major influence of his design of Disneyland.

In 1917, Elias acquired shares in the O-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 night courses at the Chicago Art Institute.

According to John Canemaker, in Paper Dreams: The Art and Artists of Disney Storyboards ( 1999, Hyperion Press ), the first storyboards at Disney evolved from comic-book like " story sketches " created in the 1920s to illustrate concepts for animated cartoon short subjects such as Plane Crazy and Steamboat Willie, and within a few years the idea spread to other studios.

According to Christopher Finch in The Art of Walt Disney ( Abrams, 1974 ), Disney credited animator Webb Smith with creating the idea of drawing scenes on separate sheets of paper and pinning them up on a bulletin board to tell a story in sequence, thus creating the first storyboard.
