Q: I have an old 16mm silent cartoon from 1928, based upon the film markings, and believe it may have been animated by Disney as a promotional film for a Manhattan fire-suppression project. Is there any way to tell who was the animator?

A: Walt did not produce any animated promotional films for a Manhattan fire-suppression project in 1928. At that time in his career, losing Oswald and starting with Mickey Mouse, he had no time for outside projects.
