The Disney story begins in 1923 when Walt Disney founded his animation studio, soon joined by his brother Roy. In 1928, the appearance of a character with large ears—Mickey Mouse—revolutionized the animation industry. The following decades saw the birth of classics such as Snow White , Cinderella , The Lion King , The Little Mermaid , and Aladdin , which shaped the global collective imagination. Meanwhile, other animation studios also made their mark, such as Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, and Pixar. The aesthetics of Disney animation—vibrant colors, expressive shapes, and visual storytelling—became a universal language that continues to inspire many contemporary artists today. The Disney universe remains a major cultural pillar, blending magic, emotion, and artistic innovation.
