About
The Walt Disney Company is an American mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California.
It was founded on October 16, 1923 by brothers Walt Disney and Roy O. Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, and operated as Walt Disney Studio (1926-1929) and Walt Disney Productions (1929-1986) before taking its present name in 1986.
This is a corporate record, not the person Walt Disney (1901-1966), who has a separate catalog entry; it carries the credit for house-produced Disney storybooks and film tie-ins published without a named individual author.
