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. Mickey Mouse, a cartoon character created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, serves as the company's official mascot.
Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and 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 Steamboat Willie in 1928, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, The Little Mermaid in 1989, and Toy Story in 1995. Disney has since diversified into live-action film production, television, theme parks, consumer products, and many other ventures through various acquisitions of Marvel Entertainment, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Studios (formally 20th Century Fox). A full list of assets owned by The Walt Disney Company can be found here.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Mickey Mouse and Mickey and Donald, both Game & Watch games published by Disney, are listed in the Chronicle in all regions. Three additional games are also included exclusively in the Japanese version, those being the Nintendo 64 version of Mickey's Speedway USA, Disney's Magical Quest Starring Mickey and Minnie, and Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Sora, the protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, developed by Square Enix as a joint collaboration between them and Disney, was confirmed on October 5, 2021 to be the sixth and final fighter in the Fighter's Pass Vol. 2, and the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter in general. Despite Disney neither developing nor publishing the Kingdom Hearts games, they are the sole owner of the brand and all of its original assets, leading to them being the company credited with Sora's inclusion.
The silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head, one of Disney’s most recognizable symbols and trademarks, can also be seen as a keychain on Sora's Keyblade.
