The Walt Disney Company (often shortened to simply Disney) is an American multinational entertainment and media conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. Mickey Mouse, a cartoon character created in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, is the company's official mascot. The company has established itself as a leader in the American animation industry with the pioneering releases of such films such as Steamboat Willie in 1928, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, The Little Mermaid in 1989, Beauty and the Beast in 1991, Aladdin in 1992, The Lion King in 1994, and Frozen in 2013. Beyond animation, the company is known for its significant investments in theme parks, television, sports, and merchandising, as well as its numerous high-profile acquisitions of other companies.

Within the gaming industry, Disney is known for licensed adaptations of its films and cartoons, its former development division Disney Interactive Studios, the defunct MMOs Club Penguin and Toontown Online, and their ownership of the action role-playing series Kingdom Hearts, developed by Square Enix.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Mickey Mouse and Mickey and Donald, both Game & Watch games based on the eponymous Disney characters, are listed in the Chronicle in all regions. Three additional games are also included exclusively in the Japanese version, those being the Nintendo 64 version of Mickey's Speedway USA, Disney's Magical Quest Starring Mickey and Minnie, and Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Sora, the protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, was confirmed on October 5, 2021 to be the sixth and final fighter in the Fighter's Pass Vol. 2, and the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter in general. Sora, along with Hollow Bastion, 10 music tracks and 13 total spirits released for purchase on October 18th, 2021 (October 19th in some time zones). The silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head, one of Disney’s most recognizable symbols and trademarks, can also be seen as a keychain on Sora's Keyblade.

Trivia

• Disney is the oldest third party company represented in Smash and the second oldest company overall, with only Nintendo debuting first by 34 years.
• Only the company's Japanese branch (The Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd.) is actually credited in Ultimate, including several employees, as they are presumably the specific division that owns Kingdom Hearts.
• Disney has previously collaborated with Nintendo on multiple occasions, having done so as early as the 1960s with several products such as playing cards and board games. Notably the Wreck-It Ralph franchise has featured various characters featured in Smash, including Nintendo's Bowser, and contains many parallels to the Mario Kart series and original Donkey Kong.
• Disney is the only third-party company to have a playable character, but no Mii Costumes.
• Disney is currently the only company represented in Smash that is not primarily a software or hardware producer.
