The
Walt Disney Studios in
Burbank,
California,
United States, serve as the international headquarters for media conglomerate
The Walt Disney Company.
Disney staff began the move from the old Disney studio at Hyperion Avenue in
Silver Lake on
December 24,
1939. Designed primarily by
Kem Weber under the supervision of
Walt Disney and his brother
Roy, the Burbank Disney Studio buildings are the only studios to survive from the Golden Age of filming. The Walt Disney Company is the last remaining
Big Ten company to remain independent from a mother company. The Studios are also the only major film/animation studio not to run backlot tours.
