Usage Note
In modern contexts, 'Disney' often refers to the company (The Walt Disney Company) or its products (Disney films, Disney parks) rather than to the person. The possessive form 'Disney's' is common for both the person (e.g. 'Disney's early work') and the brand (e.g. 'Disney's newest animated film').
