The Walt Disney Company
The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney (), is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O.

Minnie Mouse is a cartoon character created by The Walt Disney Company.

Daisy Duck is a cartoon character created by The Walt Disney Company. As the girlfriend of Donald Duck, she is an anthropomorphic white duck that has large eyelashes and ruffled tail feathers around her lowest region to suggest a skirt. She is often seen wearing a hair bow, blouse, and heeled shoes. Daisy was introduced in the short film ''Mr. Duck Steps Out'' (1940) and was incorporated into Donald's comic stories several months later. Carl Barks, the screenwriter and lead storyboard artist for the film, was inspired by the 1937 short, ''Don Donald'', that featured a Latin character named Donna Duck, to revive the concept of a female counterpart for Donald. Daisy appeared in 11 short films between 1940 and 1954, and far later in ''Mickey's Christmas Carol'' (1983) and ''Fantasia 2000'' (1999). In these roles, Daisy was always a supporting character, with the exception of ''Donald's Dilemma'' (1947). Daisy has received considerably more screen time in television, making regul ...
