Then, despite his detractors and naysayers, Walt and Company created the first full length animated motion picture, Snow White, which maintains a spot in the top 10 most successful films of all time (adjusted for inflation). The Disney Company continued to break new ground and created many firsts, including the first cartoon in color, which created the Silly Symphony shorts that fans still love today. Also, keep an eye out for Julius Katz on Buenta Vista Street, a reminder of his first cartoon character! See Oswald’s gas station below, a nod to Walt’s second cartoon character. Also look for the Bounds Sisters Coffee House, as Bounds is Walt’s wife’s, Lillian's, maiden name. Keep an eye out for many other early Disney references, including the Fiddler, Fifer, and Practical Cafe, a throw to Disney's Three Little Pigs. Mortimer's Market pays homage to what may have been Mickey's name, but later became Mickey's enemy: Mortimer. If you are looking, you can spot many great examples on Buena Vista Street – named after the address of the Disney Brother’s first studio in Hollywood.

Today, the Disney Company has created homage to those early days in Hollywood in the form of Disney California Adventure.
