- Walt Disney Animation Studios originally started as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in 1923.

Walt Disney Studios has come a long way since its inception in the 1920s, when two brothers, Walt and Roy Disney, began animating an impish mouse named Mickey.
Now, Disney is one of the largest movie studios on the planet and controls properties such as “Star Wars,” Marvel, Pixar, “Planet of the Apes,” and more.
But first and foremost will always be Disney Animation. Since its first feature-length animated movie was theatrically released in 1937, Disney has been the gold standard for animated films.
Business Insider used Rotten Tomatoes’ critics scores to rank all 54 fully animated films — that means no “Fantasia,” “Mary Poppins,” or “Songs of the South,” which have live-action components. This list also does not include movies like “A Goofy Movie” and “Return to Never Land,” which were produced by a division of the company, Disney MovieToons.
