'''The Walt Disney Company''' (often shortened to simply '''Disney''') is an American multinational entertainment and media conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. {{ | '''The Walt Disney Company''' (often shortened to simply '''Disney''') is an American multinational entertainment and media conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. {{s|wikipedia|Mickey Mouse}}, a cartoon character created in 1928 by {{s|wikipedia|Walt Disney}} and {{s|wikipedia|Ub Iwerks}}, serves as the official mascot of the company. | ||
Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and {{s|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 ''{{s|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, and ''{{s|wikipedia|Toy Story}}'' (through {{s|wikipedia|Pixar}}) in 1995. Disney has since diversified into live-action film production, television, theme parks, consumer products, and many other ventures, as well as expanding these ventures through various acquisitions, including {{s|wikipedia|The Muppets}} (from {{s|wikipedia|The Jim Henson Company}}), Pixar, {{s|wikipedia|Marvel Entertainment}}, {{s|wikipedia|Lucasfilm}}, and {{s|wikipedia|20th Century Studios}} (formerly 20th Century Fox). A full {{s|wikipedia|list of assets owned by The Walt Disney Company}} can be found here. | |||
