Disney and Miyamoto helped build two of the biggest entertainment companies in two completely different fields, Walt Disney Company and Nintendo, and are regarded as the Father of Cartoons and the Father of Video Games each respectively. Both created two of the biggest icons of their fields as well, Mickey Mouse being an icon of cartoons and Mario being an icon of video games. Both also based a number of their iconic characters on much earlier works: Mickey Mouse coming from Oswald and many Disney movies being based on fairy tales by Brothers Grimm and H.C. Anderson, while Donkey Kong was based on/named after King Kong, Link was based on Peter Pan, Mario and Kirby taking their names from people who were associated with Nintendo at the time, Ridley being named after Ridley Scott (creator of Alien), and a number of other things. As well, Miyamoto is regarded as the Walt Disney of today's day and age.
