The Walt Disney Company: A Legacy of Imagination

Beginnings and Evolution

Founded by Walt Disney and Roy O. Disney on October 16, 1923, The Walt Disney Company started as a small animation studio. It was the birthplace of Mickey Mouse in 1928, a character that would become synonymous with the brand. Over the years, Disney expanded its operations to include live-action films, television, and theme parks, opening its first park, Disneyland, in 1955.

Core Businesses

At its heart, Disney remains an entertainment company, with operations spanning several key segments:

  • Media Networks: This includes broadcast, cable, radio, publishing, and digital businesses across two divisions - Disney/ABC Television Group and ESPN Inc.
  • Parks and Resorts: Disney operates eight major resorts worldwide, including Disneyland and Walt Disney World, complemented by cruise lines and vacation clubs.
  • Studio Entertainment: This encompasses the production of live-action and animated motion pictures, direct-to-video content, musical recordings, and live stage plays.
  • Consumer Products & Interactive Media: This segment focuses on merchandise licensing, retail, games, and apps, leveraging Disney’s vast portfolio of brands and characters.

Side Businesses and Expansions

Disney has strategically acquired companies to bolster its entertainment empire. Major acquisitions include Pixar Animation Studios in 2006, Marvel Entertainment in 2009, Lucasfilm in 2012, and Fox's entertainment assets in 2019. These moves enriched Disney’s content portfolio, securing its position in not only family entertainment but also in the science fiction, superhero, and fantasy genres.
