The beloved animated series The Simpsons is owned by The Walt Disney Company.
Disney's Acquisition of 20th Television
The ownership of The Simpsons transferred to Disney as part of a significant $72.3 billion deal completed a few years ago. This massive acquisition included various assets, most notably the studio 20th Television (formerly 20th Century Fox Television). Since The Simpsons was a long-running staple of the Fox network and produced by 20th Television, its rights, along with other popular animated shows, became part of Disney's vast portfolio.
This means that iconic shows that were once synonymous with Fox broadcasting are now under the Disney umbrella. This includes not only The Simpsons but also other popular animated comedies:
- The Simpsons
- Family Guy
- Bob's Burgers
The acquisition of 20th Television brought these series under the ownership of Disney, consolidating a wide array of entertainment properties under the "Mouse House."
