Disney turns 100 Monday, so hopefully Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Buzz Lightyear, Moana, Cruella de Vil and the Hulk are blowing out the candles on one extremely large birthday cake. On Oct. 16, 1923, Walt Disney was a fledgling filmmaker in LA when he signed a distribution deal for a series of live-action/animated comedy shorts about a girl in a cartoon world based on "Alice in Wonderland," and the company was born.
