Winkler would distribute at $1,500 per reel. The brothers would thereby join Winkler as a production partner.^[1]^[2] In order to produce the series, the two brothers officially establish Disney on October 16, 1923, originally as Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, with both Walt and Roy as equal partners.^[1]^[3]^[4] This studio is based in the back half of a real estate office on Kingswell Avenue in Hollywood.^[4] The brothers then persuade both Virginia Davis (who played Alice) and their collaborator Ub Iwerks to join them in Hollywood.^[1]
