The Walt Disney Company

The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate, headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. It is the world's second largest media conglomerate in terms of revenue, after Comcast. Disney was founded on October 16, 1923 by brothers Walt Disney and Roy O. Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, and established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and theme parks. The company also operated under the names The Walt Disney Studio and then Walt Disney Productions. Taking on its current name in 1986, it expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theater, radio, music, publishing, and online media.

As it distributes every Pixar film and has owned Pixar since 2006, The Walt Disney Company has been involved in making every main installment of the Cars series. Its gaming business, Disney Interactive, has also been involved in making video games for the Cars series as well as Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure and the Disney Infinity series until its shutdown in May 2016, while its former division, DisneyToon Studios, produced the Planes series.
