Did Alexander Graham Bell invent the photophone?

yes Alexander graham bell invented the photophone along with the telephone which made his rich and famous very fast. It has been suggested that Elisha Gray invented the telephone and lodged his patent at the same office, and just before Bell. The diagrams on Bell's application, look uncannily like Gray's. Although Gray applied before Bell, the credit went to Bell.

How were sound effects made before digital recordings?

Sound-on-film has existed since 1927, but it has only been in a digital format since around 1992. Disney films created before then (like all other sound films) recorded the sound effects and music on analog media. It was synchronized onto the film strips using either magnetic (just like a cassette tape) or optical (usually the RCA Photophone) formats. Most 35mm films still include an RCA Photophone track, in case the theater is not equipped to run digital sound or the digital equipment fails.
