'''The Walt Disney Company''', or simply '''Disney''' for short, is a U.S. entertainment megacorporation, wielding extensive influence over the industry in many countries, such as changing [[copyright]] law in their favor. [[Mickey Mouse]] is their iconic mascot.
With their vast reach over media franchises known across the globe, Disney has been peripherally involved with the ''Transformers'' brand many times over the years, notably via their acquisitions of [[Marvel Comics]] and ''[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]]'' in the early 2010s. More directly, Disney collaborated with [[TakaraTomy]] to create the small ''[[Transformers Disney Label]]'' toyline.
In 2001, Disney purchased [[Saban Entertainment]] and the rights to all its programming, including the English dub of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)|Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]''. While the later Saban Brands company would eventually reacquire the rights to most of these programs, ''Robots in Disguise'' seemingly wasn't among them, meaning Hasbro didn't get the rights to it when they acquired Saban Brands' catalog in 2018. As a result, as far as anyone knows, the ''Robots in Disguise'' rights are still locked up in the Disney vault, and it's become the one ''Transformers'' TV series that remains completely unavailable in the modern day, without any sort of North American physical release or availability on any streaming platform. ([[Maximum Entertainment]] released the whole run in the [[United Kingdom]], with the DVDs bearing the Jetix network logo as a result of Disney's purchase and rebranding of [[Fox Kids]].)

On [[you]]r first visit to Disney's [[Disneyland]] theme park, you avoided the guard in front of the under-construction [[Wizard's Cave]] attraction by claiming your father was a Disney executive, distracting him just long enough to sneak past. {{storylink|Dinobot War}}

*Disney's [[1989]]-onward ''The Little Mermaid'' franchise is likely the reason why the [[2023]] ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy: Evolution]]'' figure of the [[1985]] character Ariel had to be trademarked as "[[Elita One (G1)#WarDawn|Erial]]". Presumably, this is also why ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' [[Elita-1 (One)|Elita-1]] was not called "Ariel".
