We will study Disney history, content [hello Princess franchise!], cities and urban developments, theme parks, economic structures and policies of the production, distribution, and exhibition sectors; and the nature of ownership patterns, investment, competition, and trade practices. Walt Disney Industries provides the ideal case study to explore these issues. Since its inception in 1923 as Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio and then later in 1929 as Walt Disney Productions, Disney industries have led the entertainment world as a visionary example of global synergy and convergence. In 2017 Disney is arguably the top global media conglomerate. Given its presence in everyday life and throughout the contemporary neo-liberal economy, Disney is the perfect case study for a contemporary class in the Department of Media and Cinema Studies.
