The following companies are subsidiaries of Disney that either are no longer active or have been absorbed into another part of the company.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 Paramount Television 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 expires in 2008 and the distribution rights transfer back to Disney.

  • 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.
  • 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.
