Dormant or Shuttered Disney businesses

The following companies are subsidiaries of Disney that either are no longer active or have been absorbed into another part of the company.

  • CrossGen Entertainment/Cal Publishing — Cal Publishing was a subsidiary created by Disney to acquire the assets of CrossGen. After the acquisition, both companies were folded into Disney Publishing Worldwide.
  • Hollywood Basic — A sub-label of Hollywood Records that released rap music (including music by DJ Shadow and Organized Konfusion). The label was discontinued in the mid 1990s.
  • Miramax Zoe — A division of Miramax Films and Buena Vista International that was created to acquire and release French films in the U.S. The label has not been used since 2001's Amélie.
  • ABC Films — A division of ABC, Inc. that distributed first-run and off-network TV programming to television stations and networks worldwide. Majority of the backlog is currently controlled by CBS Television Studios through Spelling Entertainment Group.
  • ABC Pictures Corp. / ABC Motion Pictures — A division of ABC, Inc. that produced and distributed a number of films theatrically. The division became inactive before the acquisition of Capital Cities/ABC by Disney, but its library was brought into Disney through the acquisition. In 2003, Buena Vista Home Entertainment licensed most of the ABC theatrical titles out to MGM for home entertainment distribution. That deal expired in 2008 and the distribution rights have transferred back to Disney.
  • ABC Circle Films / ABC Productions — A division of ABC, Inc. that produced both film and television series for ABC. Upon the acquisition by Disney, ABC Circle Films and its library were absorbed into ABC Studios (at the time, Touchstone Television).
  • Club Disney - A creation of Disney Regional Entertainment, Club Disney had 5 locations built in the U.S. All 5 locations were closed in November 1999.
  • DePatie-Freleng Enterprises / Marvel Productions, Ltd. - An independent animation studio that produced television series and theatrical shorts, of which a heavy majority is controlled by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer through United Artists Pictures and The Mirisch Corporation. The company was absorbed into Marvel Comics in 1980, and later acquired by Saban Entertainment in the mid 1990s.
  • Discovery Island - Part of the Walt Disney World Resort, Discover Island offered a look at wildlife from its opening in 1974 until its close in 1999.
  • Disney Magazine - A magazine publication that gave die-hard Disney fans an inside look at the company. This title was in publication from December 1965 until April 2005. A similar online magazine called the Disney Insider was said to take its place.
  • Infoseek Corporation - Acquired by Disney in 1998 and merged into Disney's GO Network. The Infoseek name is no longer in use.
  • Saban Entertainment - Independent live action and animation production company and program distributor, Saban was purchased by Disney in 2001 and reincorporated as BVS Entertainment.
  • Starwave - Starwave was merged with Infoseek and acquired by Disney to form GO Network. Starwave no longer operates as a stand alone business. The label was recently resurrected to form Disney's Starwave Mobile which licenses content from third party companies for cell phone content.
  • Talk - A failed magazine publication venture between Miramax Films and Tina Brown launched in 1999 and shuttered in 2001.
