迪士尼中英文简介

Disney Co.

U.S. entertainment corporation.

It was founded by Walt Disney and his brother Roy as Walt Disney Productions

in 1929 to incorporate their cartoon animation studio. It produced short and

full-length animated cartoons in the 1930s and 1940s, then expanded in the

1950s to make nature documentaries and live-action films as well as television

programs. The opening of the amusement parks Disneyland (1955) and Walt

Disney World (1971; see Disney World and Disneyland) strengthened the

company's dominance of the family entertainment industry in the U.S. The

company declined after Disney's death in 1966 but was revitalized under new

management in the 1980s. As the Walt Disney Co. it expanded its production

units to include Touchstone Pictures and Miramax, makers of films for more

mature audiences, and revitalized its animation division, producing films such

as The Little Mermaid (1989) and Toy Story (1995), the first full-length

computer-animated film. The company took an active role in reviving and

commercializing New York City's Times Square, including the recreation of

some of its animated films, such as The Lion King (1994), as Broadway

musicals. In 1994 it opened Celebration, a planned community in central

Florida. It acquired the ABC television network in 1996 and became the world's

largest media and entertainment corporation; it also operates the cable

television Disney Channel.
