The Walt Disney Company (TWDC), commonly known as Disney, is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company later operated under the names Walt Disney Studio and Walt Disney Productions before adopting its current name in 1986. Disney established itself as a leader in animation with the release of Steamboat Willie in 1928. The short film's pioneering use of synchronized sound helped popularize Mickey Mouse, who became the company's mascot and corporate icon.
