Partners is a bronze statue depicting Walt Disney standing next to and holding the hand of his most famous creation, Mickey Mouse. Originally created by Imagineer, animator, sculptor, and Disney Legend Blaine Gibson, the original statue was commissioned for Disneyland in Anaheim, California, where it stands in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle in the park's central plaza. Subsequent recreations of the statue are found at other Disney theme parks and as well as the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. A counterpart to the statue, Storytellers, was introduced in 2012 at Disney California Adventure.
