Disney Items

Disney objects constitute one of the most emblematic categories of collectibles in the world. The history of Disney merchandising begins in 1929, when Walt Disney licenses the image of Mickey Mouse for children's books, before creating the Walt Disney Enterprises division on December 16 of the same year.

The first objects include Mickey Mouse dolls produced by Charlotte Clark as early as January 1930, followed by Ingersoll-Waterbury Mickey Mouse watches in 1934. The term "Disneyana" designates this vast range of collectible objects including toys, books, animation cels, theme park souvenirs and other articles produced or licensed by Disney, ranging from products featuring all Disney characters to vintage stock certificates bearing Walt Disney's signature.

The diversity of Disney objects extends from porcelain figurines from the Walt Disney Classics Collection launched in 1992, to exclusive park pins, through technological MagicBands and thematic Popcorn Buckets. The ranks of Disney collectors experienced exponential growth in the 1980s and 1990s, creating a dynamic market where certain pieces can reach thousands of dollars.
