The late story artist Joe Ranft is named a Disney Legend. The Walt Disney Company announces that it has agreed to purchase Pixar Animation Studios. Ed Catmull and John Lasseter also assume leadership of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Best Answer: No, Walt Disney World is owned by the Walt Disney Company (founded in 1923), which also owns Disneyland in California, all other Disney Parks, Disney Channel, and anything with Disney on it pretty much. They also own Marvel (spiderman), DreamWorks, Pixar, Walden Media, ABC, ESPN, and more!!! Universal Studios is owned by Warner Brothers Studios like Bugs Bunny, they also have a theme park in California. Disney parks and Universal Studio parks are rivals, Disney makes a lot more money than Universal Studios though.
