Company history

In October 1923, the brothers Walt and Roy Disney founded Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, which was replaced by Walt Disney Productions in 1929. By 1932 the Disney company won its first Academy Award for Best Cartoon, then in 1934 went on to produce their first full-length feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which became the highest grossing film of its time. The start of the Second World War halted the production of Disney films as the company faced its efforts towards making morale-boosting propaganda films for the United States. The first few years after the War proved difficult, but by 1950 the release of Treasure Island and Cinderella heightened Disney’s fame, and 1955 saw the opening of the first California Disney theme park, Disneyland. It was in 1983 that Disney expanded globally with the opening of Tokyo Disneyland.
