'''The Walt Disney Company''', or just '''Disney''', is an American multinational entertainment and media conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. {{s|wikipedia|Mickey Mouse}}, created in 1928, is Disney's official mascot.


Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and {{iw|wikipedia|Roy O. Disney}} as the "Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio"; it also operated under the names "The Walt Disney Studio" and "Walt Disney Productions" before officially changing its name to The Walt Disney Company in 1986. The company established itself as a leader in the American animation industry with animation like ''{{iw|wikipedia|Steamboat Willie}}'' in 1928, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs|1937 film}}'' in 1937, ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Little Mermaid|1989 film}}'' in 1989, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Toy Story}}'' (through {{iw|wikipedia|Pixar}}) in 1995, and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Frozen|2013 film}}'' in 2013; as well as a major contender in live action family entertainment with films such as the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Herbie|franchise}}'' and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Pirates of the Caribbean}}'' franchises. Disney has since diversified into television, theme parks, consumer products, non-family entertainment through the {{iw|wikipedia|Touchstone Pictures}} label, and many other ventures, as well as expanding these ventures through various acquisitions, including {{iw|wikipedia|The Muppets}} (from {{iw|wikipedia|The Jim Henson Company}}), Pixar, {{iw|wikipedia|Marvel Entertainment}}, {{iw|wikipedia|Lucasfilm}}, and {{iw|wikipedia|20th Century Studios}} (formerly 20th Century Fox), giving it access to franchises such as ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Avengers|comics}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|X-Men|comics}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|Star Wars}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Simpsons}}''. In 2024, the company bought shares of {{iw|wikipedia|Epic Games}}, the company behind the {{iw|wikipedia|Epic Games Store}} and games like ''{{iw|wikipedia|Unreal|video game series}}'' and its engine, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Gears of War}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Fortnite}}''.
