HOW LEGO CONSTRUCTS A CROSS-PROMOTIONAL FRANCHISE WITH VIDEO GAMES by David Wooten A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Media Studies at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2013 ABSTRACT HOW LEGO CONSTRUCTS A CROSS-PROMOTIONAL FRANCHISE WITH VIDEO GAMES by David Wooten The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Michael Newman The purpose of this project is to examine how the cross-promotional Lego video game series functions as the site of a complex relationship between a major toy manufacturer and several media conglomerates simultaneously to create this series of licensed texts. The Lego video game series is financially successful outselling traditionally produced licensed video games. The Lego series also receives critical acclaim from both gaming magazine reviews and user reviews. By conducting both an industrial and audience address study, this project displays how texts that begin as promotional products for Hollywood movies and a toy line can grow into their own franchise of releases that stills bolster the original work.

Captain Jack Sparrow JRPC Version
The Ambiguous Captain Jack Sparrow: Destabilizing Gender, Politics and Religion in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Dr. Jennifer E. Porter (Memorial University) [email protected] ABSTRACT: Scholars have argued that Disney films reflect a nostalgia for a white, colonial, male-oriented Christian past and an uncritical acceptance of overtly consumerist culture. This article examines these academic criticisms of Disney through the lens of Disney’s film trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean. The paper argues that Disney’s Pirates films destabilize traditional models of gender, politics and religion through the figure of Captain Jack Sparrow. Exploring Jack as a Trickster figure highlights dichotomies such as good and evil, life and death, male and female, human and divine, democracy and imperialism, and points to a broader trend within these Disney films to problematize accepted categories. As a result, the article suggests that Disney’s ideological “message” is much more nuanced in these films than academic critics give Disney credit for. [1] Pirates of the Caribbean debuted as a “dark ride” at Disneyland in 1967; modeled on imagineer Marc Davis’ sketches, it was the last ride to be conceived and built while Walt Disney himself was alive, and opened to the public three months after his death.i The ride consists of a series of vignettes, showing audio-animatronic pirates, both living and dead, indulging in various piratical pursuits. When the Walt Disney Company decided to make a film based on the popular ride, a number of screen and story-writers

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.

The Man Who Built a Billion Dollar Fortune Off Pirates of The
February 22, 2019 The Man Who Built a Billion‐Dollar Fortune Off ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ By Tom Metcalf ‘Top Gun’ producer joins Spielberg, Lucas in billionaire club CSI and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchises drive fortune Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow and Jerry Bruckheimer Photographer: Mark Davis/Getty Images While the glitz and glamour of show business will be on full display Sunday at the Academy Awards, one of Hollywood’s most successful producers will be merely a bystander this year. Don’t weep for Jerry Bruckheimer, however. The man behind classic acon films like “Top Gun” and “Beverly Hills Cop” has won a Hollywood status far rarer than an Oscar ‐‐ membership in the three‐comma club. While stars sll reap plenty of income, the real riches are reserved for those who control the content. The creaves who’ve vaulted into the ranks of billionairedom remains thin, largely the preserve of household names like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who had the wherewithal to enter film producon and se‐ cured rights to what they produced. Bruckheimer has been just as successful on the small screen, producing the “CSI: Crime Scene Invesgaon” franchise. He’s sll at it, with a pilot in the works for CBS and “L.A.’s Finest,” a spinoff of “Bad Boys,” for Char‐ ter Communicaons’ new Spectrum Originals, set to air in May. “Jerry is in a league all of his own,” said Lloyd Greif, chief execuve officer of Los Angeles‐based investment bank Greif & Co. “He’s king of the acon film and he’s enjoyed similar success in television.” The TV business is changing, with a new breed of streaming services such as Nelix Inc.
