Newman Laugh-O-Gram (1921) | Walt Disney’s First Animated Short

Step into animation history with Newman Laugh-O-Gram (1921), the very first animated short created by a young Walt Disney in Kansas City. Produced as a local newsreel filler for Newman Theatre, this silent short was part of a series that gave Disney his earliest success — and helped lay the foundation for what would become the Disney empire.

Filled with quirky characters and political gags of the time, this one-minute short was animated entirely by hand in the Laugh-O-Gram studio. It’s rough, it’s oddball, and it’s the humble beginning of a legend.
