    Lessons from Disney Disney is a household name, known around the world for its theme parks, movies and loveable characters. Since it was founded in 1923, the company has been focused on creating magical experiences for people, whether they’re visiting a theme park, watching a Disney film, or staying in a Disney hotel. For almost 100 years, Disney has overcome failure and experienced tremendous growth. It has had to grow and evolve to deal with market challenges, advances in technology and changing customer demands. What has remained constant through this time, however, is Disney’s commitment to pioneering innovation, leveraging opportunities, and evolving their strategy to meet changing market conditions. Establishing the Disney brand Disney enjoyed tremendous success during its first 30 years. In 1928, Disney created the first film with synchronised sound, and in 1937 it created the first full length feature animated film. Both projects were world firsts, establishing Disney as an innovation leader (before innovation was a thing!). After a decline in success during the Second World War, Walt Disney recognised the need for new ways to share content and grow revenue and breathe new life back into the company. In 1950, the company made the leap to television with the release of One Hour in Wonderland, a promotion for the upcoming film, Alice in Wonderland. Disney and television In July 1954, Walt Disney started building Disneyland, and a year and a day after construction started, the park was opened. To try and recoup some of the US$17 million build cost, Disney sought to leverage his earlier television success and bring his beloved theme park to people’s homes.

  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

  • 2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

INTRODUCTION The above-captioned petition was filed on September 3, 1999 by HILARIO MIRAVALLES (hereinafter "Petitioner" or “MIRAVALLES”), alleging that ARTISTS, INC., operated by Vice President, Thad Weinlein, (hereinafter “Respondent” or “Weinlein”), acted as an unlicensed talent agency in violation of Labor Code §1700.51. Petitioner seeks a determination from the Labor Commissioner voiding a 1997 written agreement ab initio, and seeks disgorgement of all consideration collected by respondent stemming from this agreement. 1 All statutory citations will refer to the California Labor Code unless otherwise specified. Respondent was served with a copy of the petition on September 28, 1999. Respondent filed his answer with this agency on October 29, 1999, defending on the position that the respondent did not act an agent, but rather acted as an employer and is therefore not subject to the jurisdiction of the Labor Commissioner. A hearing was scheduled and commenced before the undersigned attorney, specially designated by the Labor Commissioner to hear this matter on March 31, 2000, in Los Angeles, California. Petitioner was present and represented by Stuart Libicki of Schwartz, Steinsapir, Dohrmann & Sommers LLP; Respondent did not appear personally but was represented through his attorney, Alan M. Brunswick of Manatt Phelps Phillips.
