'''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. {{iw|wikipedia|Mickey Mouse}}, a cartoon character created in 1928 by {{iw|wikipedia|Walt Disney}} and {{iw|wikipedia|Ub Iwerks}}, is the company's official mascot.

Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and {{iw|wikipedia|Roy O. Disney}} as the "Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio"; it also operated under the names "The Walt Disney Studio" and "Walt Disney Productions" before officially changing its name to The Walt Disney Company in 1986. The company established itself as a leader in the American animation industry with animation like ''{{iw|wikipedia|Steamboat Willie}}'' in 1928, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs|1937 film}}'' in 1937, ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Little Mermaid|1989 film}}'' in 1989, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Toy Story}}'' (through {{iw|wikipedia|Pixar}}) in 1995, and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Frozen|2013 film}}'' in 2013; as well as a major contender in live action family entertainment with films such as the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Herbie|franchise}}'' and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Pirates of the Caribbean}}'' franchises. Disney has since diversified into television, theme parks, consumer products, non-family entertainment through the {{iw|wikipedia|Touchstone Pictures}} label, and many other ventures, as well as expanding these ventures through various acquisitions, including {{iw|wikipedia|The Muppets}} (from {{iw|wikipedia|The Jim Henson Company}}), Pixar, {{iw|wikipedia|Marvel Entertainment}}, {{iw|wikipedia|Lucasfilm}}, and {{iw|wikipedia|20th Century Studios}} (formerly 20th Century Fox), giving it access to franchises such as ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Avengers|comics}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|X-Men|comics}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|Star Wars}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Simpsons}}''. In 2024, the company bought shares of {{iw|wikipedia|Epic Games}}, the company behind the {{iw|wikipedia|Epic Games Store}} and games like ''{{iw|wikipedia|Unreal|video game series}}'' and its engine, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Gears of War}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Fortnite}}''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
''{{iw|nintendowiki|Mickey Mouse}}'' and ''{{iw|nintendowiki|Mickey and Donald}}'', both {{uv|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 ''{{iw|wikipedia|Mickey's Speedway USA}}'', ''{{iw|wikipedia|Disney's Magical Quest Starring Mickey and Minnie}}'', and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse}}''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
[[Sora]], the protagonist of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' franchise, developed by [[Square Enix]] as a joint collaboration between them and Disney, 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]], 11 music tracks and 13 total [[spirits]] released for purchase on October 18th, 2021 (October 19th in some time zones). Despite Disney neither developing nor publishing the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, they are the sole owner of the brand and all of its original assets, leading to them being the company credited with Sora's inclusion.

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==
<!--Do not put add trivia stating that Disney is the first non-video game company to be represented in Smash, as that is not necessarily true; for example, Microsoft is best known for the Windows operating system and Bandai Namco has several ventures in mediums outside of video games, such as toys, arcades, anime, and amusement parks.-->
*Disney is the second oldest company represented in ''Smash'', with only [[Nintendo]] debuting first by 34 years.
*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.
**{{Trn|EVO 2017}}'s Top 8 for ''Smash 4'' also aired on {{iw|wikipedia|Disney XD}}, Disney's television channel aimed at older children, and {{iw|wikipedia|ESPNU}}, which is partially owned by Disney.
*Disney is the second major Western third-party company to be introduced to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, after [[Microsoft]]. 
*Disney is the fifth third-party company to be introduced to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series as DLC, the first four being Square Enix, [[Atlus]], Microsoft, and [[SNK]].
*Coincidentally, Sora was revealed in the same month Disney was founded, with his release only falling 2 days after Disney's 98th anniversary.
*Disney is the only third-party company to have a playable character, but no [[Mii Costume]]s.
*Disney is currently the only company represented in ''Smash'' that is not primarily a software or hardware producer.
*Disney is currently tied with [[SNK]] for the least amount of playable characters in ''Smash'' out of all third-party companies with a playable character, with only one: Square Enix, [[Sega]], [[Konami]], and [[Capcom]] have three each while [[Bandai Namco]] and Microsoft have two each.
*While Disney is an American company, only the Japanese branch (The Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd.) is actually credited in ''Ultimate'', including several employees.
*By way of its subsidiary {{iw|wikipedia|Disney–ABC Domestic Television}}, Disney owns full distribution rights to ''{{iw|wikipedia|Bill Nye the Science Guy}}'', which features {{iw|wikipedia|Pat Cashman}} (the English [[announcer]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'') as its narrator.
