Sorry everyone!

There is a lot of information and introduction about Disney nowadays, but there are few places that introduce the term Disney in a systematic way. Let us take a look at it below.

What is Disney?

English word: Disney

In fact, the meaning of the word itself is very simple, it is a surname. But let’s see what the dictionary says.

"American Heritage Dictionary?" (the most authoritative dictionary in the United States) explains this entry:

Disney

Phonetic symbols: [ ' dizni ]

Walter Elias Known as “Walt.” (1901-1966)

American animator, showman, and film producer. Noted for his creation of the cartoon characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, he produced the first animated film with sound, Steamboat Willie (1928), and the first full-length animated feature, Snow White (1938).

Disney, Walter Ellis (usually "Walt" (1901-1966)

American cartoonist, show host and film producer, famous for creating cartoon characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. He produced the world's first A cartoon with sound, Steamboat Willie (1928) and the first animated feature film, Snow White (1938*).

*Magical Moment Note: "Snow White" actually premiered on December 21, 1937.

It seems that this word already has a specific meaning. More systematically, the word Disney has the following meanings.

Surname: Disney

Naturally, all the Disney family members in this world have the surname Disney, such as Mr. Roy E. Disney today.

Mr. Walt Disney, specifically the person

Mr. Walt Disney, full name is Walter Elias Disney. He is one of the founders of the Walt Disney Company (the other being his brother Roy Oliver Disney - Mr. Roy Disney).

In other words, if we usually talk about Mr. Disney, unless there is a special environment or special explanation in the article, we usually refer to Mr. Walt Disney.

The Walt Disney Company, specifically refers to this company

The English name of The Walt Disney Company is: The Walt Disney Company (TWDC), headquartered in Burbank, California, USA. It is a global cross-media integrated entertainment company.

Disney, brand name

An entertainment brand, ranked 7th among the world's top 100 brands (according to brand value) by Interbrand/BusinessWeek in 2005.

In fact, this is the most common.

Disney theme park, specifically

Some people will say "Have you been to Disney?", "I want Disney tickets", Disney here means Disney theme Park, and among all theme parks, Disneyland in California is the most frequently cited. Generally, only China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) will use this specific method.

About Disney’s Chinese name

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. You must have seen “Disney” and “Disney” often. But what exactly is the difference between them?

It turns out that before 1995, the Disney names in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan had different pronunciations and translations based on the local languages. Here is a list

Mainland: Disney - Disney, Walt Disney - Walt Disney

Hong Kong: Disney - Disney, Walt Disney - Helu·Disney

Taiwan: Disney - Disney, Walt Disney - Walt Disney

But in 1995, in order to unify the Chinese market, Disney decided to use the name "Disney" uniformly in China after serious discussions. That is, the following

Unified official Chinese name: Disney - Disney, Walt Disney - Walt Disney

I still remember that it was in the 1995 issue of "Mickey Mouse" magazine (cover In the notice column of "Mickey Mouse" on the inner cover of "Mickey Mouse" (blue tone, the character is Donald Duck), there is an article called "About "Disney" Name Change", which first announced this news to the majority of Disney fans, and from 1995 Starting from the 6th issue, "Mickey Mouse" fully adopts the name "Disney". (For example, the slogan "Real Original Disney Cartoons" on the cover turns out to be "Disney"). We really applaud this behavior!

But it is a pity that due to various reasons, the name "Disney" has not been promoted as it should be in mainland China like in Taiwan. For example, most media including TV newspapers still use "Disney" a lot. situation, and this entry has not been revised in the authoritative Chinese language dictionary. There are even a few official products using the name "Disney" which is no longer the official translation.

But the fact that Disney is the real official Chinese name cannot be changed. For example, you can see that Disney.com.cn, genuine Disney videos and books all use "Disney".

So as true Disney fans, we will all use the official name "Disney" from now on!
