13. List 3 notable early sound filmmakers

There are many names to list to be honest.  However, in my opinion, these 3 filmmakers were credited due to the film that they premiered combining sound that was successfully commercialized throughout in the 1930s.

  1. Rouben Mamoulian - The director of "Applause" is a 1929 black-and-white backstage musical film, shot during the early years of sound films. It is very notable as one of the few films of its time to break free from the restrictions of sound technology.  The movie was named on of the ten best films in 1929 by The National Board of Review.

  2. Ernst Lubitsch - The director of "The Love Parade" is a 1929 musical comedy film.  This film is notable for being the first "talkie" film by Ernst Lubitsch.

  3. Walt Disney - The director of "Steamboat Willie" is a 1928 American animated short film thirdly produced in black and white and firstly distributed.  The film is also notable for being one of the first cartoons with synchronized sound. In fact, it was the first cartoon to feature a fully post-produced soundtrack which distinguished it from earlier sound cartoons such as Inkwell Studios' Song Car-Tunes (1924–1927) and Van Beuren Studios' Dinner Time (1928).
