The Walt Disney Company, was a dream of the most famous name in the animation industry and the creator of Mickey Mouse, Walt Elias Disney and now the company has estimated net worth of an about 36 billion dollars. (Funamentals n.d.) The company has been running from 1923 till current and I have decided to take the first 43 years (1923 to 1966) in consideration because I wish to tell the reader how the company went from Good to Great under the supervision of Walt Elias Disney.
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Walt Disney, fired from a newspaper company for lacking imagination and having no original ideas, is one of the most prominent figures in the entertainment industry and is considered to be a cultural icon throughout the world. Disney was founded on October 16th in 1923, and ‘have established themselves as a dominant leader in the American animation industry before splitting into film production, television, and theme parks’ (Wikipedia, 2015). It ranges from ‘Mickey Mouse’ to ‘Sleeping Beauty’ to ‘Cars,’ and almost everyone is familiar with something Disney related. Growing up, almost every child is a Disney fan and they view Disney as a family-friendly enterprise that does not stand for anything that could be offensive, but have they dug deep enough into this topic?
The Japanese have a similar mindset to Americans when it comes to consumerism in the theme parks which is why the park’s revenues are very high every year. According to Toyoda (2014), Tokyo Disneyland was built as a “mass consumption space” for the Japanese not to reflect “good old America” and American values (p. 16). This aspect of Japanese culture works to Disney’s advantage since Disney relies on not only revenues from theme park tickets but food and merchandise for their park revenues. Since the Japanese are like Americans and will buy a lot of souvenirs when they visit the park, the revenues for Tokyo Disneyland are high. The fact that the Japanese culture is also a high consumer culture helps to explain why the theme park is doing well and why they have high revenues year after
