On this day in 1923, Walt and Roy Disney founded The Walt Disney Company. How far that little company has come! Dozens of films, characters and shows later—plus a theme park or two—the Walt Disney Company is one of the most easily recognizable institutions in the world. Whenever I think of Disney, I immediately start humming the theme to the Mickey Mouse Club, which made its debut on October 3, 1955. Here, six clips from the classic show.
