1934 - Donald Duck!

Donald Duck joined the Disney Family in 1934's The Wise Little Hen, a mere co-star. He wouldn't remain an also-ran for long; the world would soon embrace him, making him an instant star.

1933 - The Three Little Pigs

In 1933, The Walt Disney Studios would have its biggest non-Mickey Mouse hit- The Three Little Pigs. The film struck a chord with weary depression-era audiences, attracting millions of moviegoers to their local theaters. The film would bring in a ton of money, but not as much as it would have brought in had it been the feature. Walt would become inspired to produce a feature length film of his own.
