In your message, state your name, affiliation and the intended use of the case. Permission for classroom use will be granted free of charge. Other cases are available at: http://robins.richmond.edu/centers/case-network.html "Walt was never afraid to dream. That song from Pinocchio, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' is the perfect summary of Walt's approach to life: dream big dreams, even hopelessly impossible dreams, because they really can come true. Sure, it takes work, focus and perseverance. But anything is possible. Walt proved it with the impossible things he accomplished."1 It is well documented that Walt Disney had big dreams and made several large gambles to propel his visions. From the creation of Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the first color feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in 1937, and the creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA during the 1950’s, Disney risked his personal assets as well as his studio to build a reality from his dreams. While Walt Disney passed away in the mid 1960’s, his quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,”2 still resonates in the corporate world and operations of The Walt Disney Company.

  • 2009 Annual Report
    Fiscal Year 2009 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter January 2010 To the Shareholders and Cast Members of The Walt Disney Company: As I was drafting this letter, word came about the passing of a true Disney legend, Roy E. Disney. Roy devoted the better part of his life to our Company, and during his 56 year tenure, he was involved on many levels with many businesses, most notably animation. No one was a bigger champion of this art form than Roy, and it was at his urging that we returned to a full commitment to animation in the mid-1980s. Roy also introduced us to Pixar in the 1990s, a relationship that has proven vital to our success. Roy understood the essence of Disney, and his passion for the Company, his appreciation of its past and his keen interest in its future will be sorely missed. Last year was both an interesting and challenging one for your Company. On the positive side, we released two extraordinary animated films, Up and The Princess and the Frog that exemplify the very best of what we do. We received the go-ahead from China’s government to build a new theme park in Shanghai. We acquired Marvel Entertainment, whose portfolio of great stories and characters and talented creative staff complement and strengthen our own. And we reached an agreement to distribute live-action films made by Steven Spielberg’s DreamWorks SKG. At the same time, we faced a severe global economic downturn and an acceleration of secular challenges that affect several of our key businesses.

  • Miramax's Asian Experiment: Creating a Model for Crossover Hits Lisa Dombrowski , Wesleyan University, US
    Miramax's Asian Experiment: Creating a Model for Crossover Hits Lisa Dombrowski , Wesleyan University, US Prior to 1996, no commercial Chinese-language film had scored a breakout hit in the United States since the end of the 1970s kung fu craze. In the intervening period, the dominant distribution model for Asian films in America involved showcasing subtitled, auteur-driven art cinema in a handful of theaters in New York and Los Angeles, then building to ever more screens in a platform fashion, targeting college towns and urban theaters near affluent, older audiences. With the American fan base for Hong Kong action films steadily growing through video and specialized exhibition during the 1980s, Miramax chieftain Harvey Weinstein recognized the opportunity to market more commercial Chinese-language films to a wider audience outside the art cinema model as a means of generating crossover hits. Beginning in 1995, Weinstein positioned Miramax to become the primary distributor of Hong Kong action films in the United States. Miramax's acquisition and distribution strategy for Hong Kong action films was grounded in a specific set of assumptions regarding how to appeal to mass-market American tastes. The company targeted action-oriented films featuring recognizable genre conventions and brand- name stars, considering such titles both favorites of hardcore Hong Kong film fans and accessible enough to attract new viewers. Rather than booking its Hong Kong theatrical acquisitions into art cinemas, Miramax favored wide releases to multiplexes accompanied by marketing campaigns designed to highlight the action and hide the "foreignness" of the films. Miramax initially adopted a strategy of dubbing, re-scoring, re-editing, and often re-titling its Hong Kong theatrical and video/DVD releases in order to make them more appealing to mainstream American audiences.
