Nowak Public directives: Film and TV decision-making processes, Parks-Related projects, Public Relations initiatives and all other directives using Disney resources must be launched as a public directive, through the approval of a simple majority of the committee, as well as the permission of at least one of the relevant members as a sponsor or signatory. Financial resources that are deployed will be deducted from the budget. Delegates may ask about their present financial account balance prior to initiating new directives. Voting Permissions and Approval Requirements: e BoD has the power to allocate the budget between diferent factions of the committee. Once the budget is allocated, the permission of the board of directors is no longer needed if a faction wishes to initiate a directive that relies merely on their own budget. Messrs. Hoberman, Mester, and Katzenburg have the exclusive power to reach out to directors, actors, animators, and heads of creative departments. ey are able to communicate with creative agents individually, but they cannot access Disney company resources without going through public directives. e approval of one of Messrs. Gold, Dreyer and Okun is needed for any public relations directive, including but not limited to ad campaigns, public statements, advertisement, events. Either Mr. Sullivan or Mr. Doerges must approve any parks-related project. 2 Lastly, the approval of Mr. Nowak is necessary when discussing Disney’s legal team, lawsuits, mergers. If a delegate wishes to initiate a directive relying on their personal wealth or power, they must do so through private directives, given the directive is permissive based on the committee approval requirements. If you wish to communicate with an unrepresented character, you may communicate with the backroom. If you wish to communicate with a certain delegate or committee faction in private, you may send a note to the back room and if approved, a meeting will be coordinated.

  • Strategic Management and Global Competition Individual Paper
    STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND GLOBAL COMPETITION INDIVIDUAL PAPER THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY AND ITS ACQUISITION STRATEGY: PIXAR, MARVEL & LUCASFILM Li Chi Ching Jane Strategic Management and Global Competition, Fall 2016 December 1, 2016 Abstract In this paper, I will analyze the rationale behind Disney’s acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm and the subsequent impacts they have on Disney as a whole. Disney has always been relying on its strategic model “The Ripple Effect” for sustainable growth—through creation of a film asset, value can be infused into an array of its related entertainment assets. And a popular film acts like a wave maker in creating ripples that go down to all of Disney’s businesses—success of films are central to Disney’s overall performance. Yet, the absence of successful films from Disney starting from the late 1990s stopped the Disney model from working, resulting in a decline in profits in various business segments within Disney. In light of this problem, Disney chose the path of acquisitions— Pixar was acquired in 2006, while Marvel and Lucasfilm were acquired in 2009 and 2012 respectively. All three acquisitions have one central goal—to find Disney’s way back to the wave makers, and hence make the Disney model work again. The announcement by Disney that it would buy its partner Pixar at $7.4 billion in 2006 once shook the world—many were either having doubts on how such an acquisition would turn out or considering the valuation as too high. Most acquisitions, particularly in media, are value-destroying as opposed to value-creating.

  • Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: a Study of the Walt Disney Company’S Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11
    Upholding the Disney Utopia Through American Tragedy: A Study of The Walt Disney Company's Responses to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 Lindsay Goddard Senior Thesis presented to the faculty of the American Studies Department at the University of California, Davis March 2021 Abstract Since its founding in October 1923, The Walt Disney Company has en- dured as an influential preserver of fantasy, traditional American values, and folklore. As a company created to entertain the masses, its films often provide a sense of escapism as well as feelings of nostalgia. The company preserves these sentiments by \Disneyfying" danger in its media to shield viewers from harsh realities. Disneyfication is also utilized in the company's responses to cultural shocks and tragedies as it must carefully navigate maintaining its family-friendly reputation, utopian ideals, and financial interests. This paper addresses The Walt Disney Company's responses to two attacks on US soil: the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the attacks on September 11, 200l and examines the similarities and differences between the two. By utilizing interviews from Disney employees, animated film shorts, historical accounts, insignia, government documents, and newspaper articles, this paper analyzes the continuity of Disney's methods of dealing with tragedy by controlling the narrative through Disneyfication, employing patriotic rhetoric, and reiterat- ing the original values that form Disney's utopian image. Disney's respon- siveness to changing social and political climates and use of varying mediums in its reactions to harsh realities contributes to the company's enduring rep- utation and presence in American culture. 1 Introduction A young Walt Disney craftily grabbed some shoe polish and cardboard, donned his father's coat, applied black crepe hair to his chin, and went about his day to his fifth-grade class.

  • The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: to Acquire Or Not to Acquire?
    9-709-462 REV: JANUARY 15, 201 0 J U A N A L C Á CER DAVID COLLIS M A R Y F U R E Y The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: To Acquire or Not to Acquire? In November 2005, Robert Iger, the newly appointed CEO of the Walt Disney Company, eagerly awaited the box office results of Chicken Little, the company’s second computer-generated (CG) feature film. He knew that, for Disney as a whole to be successful, he had to get the animation business right, particularly the new CG technology that was rapidly supplanting hand-drawn animation.1 Yet the company had been reliant on a contract with animation studio Pixar, which had produced hits such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo, for most of its recent animated film revenue. And the co-production agreement, brokered during the tenure of his predecessor, Michael Eisner, was set to expire in 2006 after the release of Cars, the fifth movie in the five-picture deal. Unfortunately, contract renewal negotiations between Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar, and Eisner had broken down in 2004 amid reports of personal conflict. When he assumed his new role, Iger reopened the lines of communication between the companies. In fact, he had just struck a deal with Jobs to sell Disney- owned, ABC-produced television shows—such as “Desperate Housewives”—through Apple’s iTunes Music Store.2 Iger knew that a deal with Pixar was possible; it was just a question of what that deal would look like. Did it make the most sense for Disney to simply buy Pixar? Walt Disney Feature Animation Walt Disney Feature Animation began with the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1934.

  • Neocolonialism in Disney's Renaissance
    Neocolonialism in Disney’s Renaissance: Analyzing Portrayals of Race and Gender in Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire by Breanne Johnson A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Public Health: Health Promotion/Health Behavior (Honors Scholar) Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Sustainability (Honors Scholar) Presented June 7, 2019 Commencement June 2019 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Breanne Johnson for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Public Health: Health Promotion/Health Behavior and Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Sustainability presented on June 7, 2019. Title: Neocolonialism in Disney’s Renaissance: Analyzing Portrayals of Race and Gender in Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Elizabeth Sheehan The Walt Disney Company is one of the most recognizable and pervasive sources of children’s entertainment worldwide and has carefully crafted an image of childhood innocence. This wholesome image is contradicted by Disney’s consistent use of racist and sexist tropes, as well as its record of covertly using political themes in its media. Disney has a history of using its animated films to further a neocolonial ideology – an ideology that describes how current global superpowers continue to control the natural and capital resources of underdeveloped countries and to profit off of the unequal trading of these resources. The period of Disney’s history known as its animated Renaissance marked a clear return to the brand’s championing of American interventionism abroad.

People familiar with the board's thinking say members want time to evaluate the results of the vote to decipher whether it represents frustration with Disney's governance, its overall performance or personal animosity toward Mr. Eisner. Even if a large number of Disney shareholders oppose Mr. Eisner's board re-election this week, it isn't likely that the board will make a move on Mr. Eisner immediately, at least in part because it doesn't want to signal instability in the face of the Comcast bid. The immediate source of Mr. Eisner's troubles was his and the board's decision in November to enforce a mandatory retirement policy that would force out Director Roy E.
