==Shorts and subsequent releases== Walt Disney both directed and produced all 57 films in this series. Animation was done by Walt Disney, sometimes assisted by Rollin "Ham" Hamilton. Over the course of the series, four actresses played Alice: [[Virginia Davis]] (15), Margie Gay (31), [[Anne Shirley (actress)|Dawn O'Day]] (1) and Lois Hardwick (10).
