Next Monday, 16 October 2023, marks the 100th anniversary of one of the most iconoic animation studios ever.

The upcoming years, millions of people came to know Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy, Chip and Dale through short films and comics and in 1937 an animated full-length film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was produced. The old fairytale it was based on had been published in 1812 by the Grimm Brothers. Animated full-length film from Disney, often based on an old fairytale, would soon become an annual tradition.

During World War II, war propaganda short films were produced to support the Allies.

On 17 July 1955 the first Disneyland Park was inaugurated near Anaheim. 68 years later, we have six such resorts across the planet...

On 15 December 1966, Walt Disney himself passed away, aged 65.

In April 1983, the Disney Channel was introduced and on 12 November 2019, the company introduced its own streaming subscription service, Disney Plus.

In late 1980's and early 90's, Disney also scored successes with cartoons like Ducktales, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Talespin, Darkwing Duck and Goof Troop.

Around the same time, Capcom and Virgin Interactive Entertainment, developed successful video games based on Disney cartoons and movies.

Between October 1993 and mid 2005, the company ran its own ice hockey club, the Anaheim Ducks.

In January 2006, Disney purchased Pixar and in September 2009, they also purchased the rights to Marvel Comics, followed up by the rights to Star Wars.

By the early 21st century, animation was widely replaced with computer animation and these days, the company is developing live-action versions of old Disney movies.
