DISNEY WORLD

Disney is one of the largest and most popular companies in the world. The studio
has been known for family entertainment, particularly its animated film projects, which are part
of the company's DNA from founder Walt Disney.

In the 100 years
since Disney began, the
company has re- imagined fairy
tales, folklore, classic literature,

and many more to create their
own unique interpretations, and
in many ways, those versions

become the hallmarks of how
popular culture imagines them.

Disney has no shortage of amazing characters, stretching from across their animated films
and television series. Without including other animation subsidiaries like Pixar Animation,
there are still plenty of Disney characters to choose from.

These characters are all over the merchandise in the Disney theme parks and just have
become part of the common lexicon.

Making a list of the best is certainly difficult, but factoring in their contributions to animations as
well as both Disney and popular culture as a whole, these are the best Disney animated
characters.

Disney is one of the biggest and best-known companies in the world, and has been ranked
number 53 on the 2022 Fortune500 list of biggest companies in the United States by revenue.
Since its founding, the company has won 135 Academy Awards , 26 of which have been
awarded to Walt .
