Walt Disney, named after it's founder and commonly known as Disney, is a famous television and film company, popular for the Disney Pixar and Pirates of the Caribbean films, and Marvel comics. It is one of the largest media groups worldwide. Disney was the first licensed LEGO toy, starting back when the wooden toys were produced. The only product at this time was Wooden LEGO Pluto. Disney products didn't appear again until 1999 and lasted until 2000. In 2010, it was renewed again with many new subthemes and sets spanning both System and DUPLO. A series of collectable minifigures numbered 71012 will be released in 2016, featuring 18 characters from Disney features.
