1. 100 years of history

Disney's history dates back to the early 20th century, when Walt Disney and his brother Roy founded what would eventually become one of the world's largest and most recognisable entertainment studios. In 1923, the Disney brothers created the Disney Brothers Studio, which later changed its name to The Walt Disney Studio.

One of the key moments in Disney's history occurred in 1928, when Walt Disney introduced the world to his most iconic character: Mickey Mouse. The animated short entitled "Steamboat Willie" was a huge success and marked the beginning of Disney's popularity in the entertainment industry.

Over the years, Disney has created numerous memorable characters and films. Classics such as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937), "Cinderella" (1950) and "The Lion King" (1994) have become part of the collective imagination and have left an indelible mark on popular culture.

This year, the company celebrates its centenary and the whole world is echoing Disney's 100th anniversary, and no wonder, because it is celebrating in style.

During these months, going to any Disney theme park has been an experience for any visitor. And its continuous investment in communication is bringing out a great nostalgic feeling among all its fans.

2. What is a Disney licence?

A Disney licence is a legal agreement that allows a third party, such as a company or individual, to use Disney trademarks, characters, logos and other intellectual property to create and sell specific products. These products can include toys, apparel, accessories, household items, books, movies and more.


The Disney licence is essentially a contract that grants the rights necessary to use and market Disney's intellectual property assets. The licence defines the terms and conditions under which the licensee can use Disney's trademarks and characters, and also sets the rules and regulations to ensure that the products meet the company's standards of quality and authenticity.


Without a licence, you cannot produce or market the products of that brand. Licences are generally only granted to authorised sellers who meet certain requirements. If you sell Disney products without a licence, you may face serious legal consequences. You should also be aware that the company puts special focus on pursuing piracy as this practice does not only affect Disney, but also all licensed brands such as Cerdá.  So it is very important that you focus your efforts on getting it or finding a distributor of items that already have the license, such as Cerdá Group.

3. Benefits of selling Disney licensed products
