It was founded in 1923 by Walt Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions Ltd in 1929, and became publicly traded as Walt Disney Productions in 1938. The key moments in Disney history are in 1967 construction begins on Walt Disney Restort in Florida started. In 1993 Disney acquires independent film distributor Miramax Films.

Religious welfare groups have spoken out agasint the release of material which they and others found offensive. The Southern Baptist Convention and the American Family Assocaition voted to boycott Disney over opposition to the dinsey offering domestic partner benifits to gay employees and over oppostition to the ABC show Ellen, in which Ellen DeGeneres Character came out.
There are several conspiracy theories about Disney having sexual innuendo or references hidden in some of there animated movies, including The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin,Who Framed Rodger Rabbit and The Rescuers.I think that when i watch Disney films i do not see anything Racist or Sexual,I think that people just make these things out and make it into a big deal when its really nothing.
After researching Walt Disney Company I found that Disney don’t have much competition because they own so much it will be hard for little companies to compete with them. I think that because Disney is so big and everyone knows it, it is harder for smaller companies to get recognised.
