The Walt Disney Company, often shortened to Disney, is an American media and entertainment conglomerate. Founded as Disney Brothers Studio in 1923 by Walt and Roy O. Disney, it became renowned for its animated films and theme parks during the 20th century. Beginning in 2005, it rapidly expanded its film division, Walt Disney Studios, with the acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox (since renamed 20th Century Studios). Walt Disney Studios is now considered one of the "Big Five" Hollywood studios, along with Warner Bros., Universal, Sony, and Paramount. Disney launched the streaming service Disney+ in 2019, for which a series starring King Kong is being developed,[1] and also owns a majority stake in Hulu.

Trivia
- An unbuilt roller coaster at the Japan pavilion in Disney's Epcot theme park, based on Mount Fuji, would have included Godzilla or a similar creature menacing guests.[2] A separate unproduced project for Disney MGM Studios, the Creature's Choice Awards, would see Godzilla make his way to Walt Disney World to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award from Eddie Frankenmurphy and Elvira.
- Among the dinosaur memorabilia featured as props in DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom are Imperial Godzilla figures, a French poster for Godzilla, King of the Monsters!, and issues of the Gorgo comic book. Additionally, the Boneyard Dig Site playground's music loop includes the Blue Oyster Cult Godzilla song, accompanied by radio commentary between hosts "Digger" and the "Bonehead" discussing whether or not Godzilla counts as a dinosaur, where one of them brings up Godzillasaurus.
- In Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, Fire Rodan flies past Tokyo Disneyland shortly after seizing the canister containing BabyGodzilla and Azusa Gojo.
- In the ninth issue of Dark Horse's Godzilla comic, Godzilla attacks a parody of Disney World and Disneyland called Smile World.
- ImageMovers Digital, a joint venture between Disney and ImageMovers, announced a giant monster film titled Calling All Robots in 2008,[3] with Michael Dougherty directing. The film was one of several projects cancelled in 2011 when ImageMovers dissolved. Dougherty would later direct the MonsterVerse film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, released in 2019.
