Disney has been around since the 1923. It is very well known and is possibly the most popular company in today's world, because it is known worldwide.

Some bad aspects of the Walt Disney Company is that there were several conspiracy theories about Disney having sexual innuendo or references hidden in some of their animated movies. Some of the Disney movies included The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Disney's orininal home video releases of The Rescuers.
