walton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a british composer' is the definition.
'walton' can be an answer for 'composer' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'a british' bit.

'disney takes on' is the wordplay.
'disney' becomes 'Walt' (Walt Disney).
'takes' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'walt'+'on'='WALTON'

Can you help me to learn more?
