As of October 31, 1989, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc. is a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America. 12 “SONY PICTURE ENTERTAINMENT.” 1.2 HISTORY Just after World War II in 1945 a man named Masaru Ibuka started a small radio shop in an old bombed-out building in Tokyo, Japan. Shortly afterwards, he was joined by friend and colleague Akio Morita. They founded the company Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo. First, came the thought to use the initials of the company, but TKK was taken by a Japanese railroad company at the time. Next, came the name Totsuko. It was well received, but the American public had a difficult time pronouncing it. Morita thought of the Atchan character and came up with the name Sony. A mix of the Latin word meaning son and sonny (little boy) the company officially changed the name to Sony in January of 1958 In 1989, Sony acquired the American film and television production company Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc. (Columbia Pictures, Tri-Star Pictures, etc.) from The Coca-Cola Company for US$ 3.4 billion. The company was renamed Sony Pictures Entertainment in 1991. Sony has since created numerous other film production and distribution units, such as creating Sony Pictures Classics for art-house fare, by forming Columbia Tri-Star Pictures (also known as the Columbia Tri-Star Motion Picture Group) by merging Columbia Pictures and Tri- Star Pictures in 1998, revitalizing Columbia's former television division Screen Gems, and expanded its growth on April 8, 2005, when a consortium led by Sony and its equity partners acquired the legendary Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in a deal worth nearly US$5 billion. Sony Picture Entertainment is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan and one of the world’s largest media conglomerate with revenue of US $88.7 billion (as of 2008) based in Minato, Tokyo. Sony is one of the leading manufacturers of entertainment (motion picture and music), 13 “SONY PICTURE ENTERTAINMENT.” Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, the founders of Sony 1.3 ORIGIN OF NAME When Tokyo Tsushin was looking for a Romanized name to use to market them, they strongly considered using their initials, TTK. The primary reason they did not is that the railway company Tokyo Kyuko was known as TKK. The company occasionally used the acronym "Totsuko" in Japan, but during his visit to the United States, Morita discovered that Americans had trouble pronouncing that name. Another early name that was tried out for a while was "Tokyo Teletech" until Morita discovered that there was an American company already using Teletech as a brand name. The name "Sony" was chosen for the brand as a mix of two words. One was the Latin word Sonus which is the root of "sonic" and "sound" and the other was "sonny", a familiar term used in 1950s America to call a boy. Morita pushed for a word that does not exist in any language so that they could claim the word "Sony" as their own (which paid off when they successfully sued a candy producer using the name, who claimed that "Sony" was an existing word in some language). At the time of the change, it was extremely unusual for a Japanese company to use Roman letters instead of kanji to spell its name. The move was not without opposition: TTK's principal bank at the time, Mitsui, had strong feelings about the name. They pushed for a name such as Sony Electronic Industries, or Sony Teletech. Akio Morita was firm, however, as he did not want the company name tied to any particular industry. Eventually, both Ibuka and Mitsui Bank's chairman gave their approval 14 “SONY PICTURE ENTERTAINMENT.” 2.

  • 35 Perception of Regional Dialects in Animated Films
    Mario Perić, Perception of regional dialects Hieronymus 1 (2014), 35-57 PERCEPTION OF REGIONAL DIALECTS IN ANIMATED FILMS DUBBED INTO CROATIAN Mario Perić Abstract This paper examines whether there is a connection between a person’s regional and social background and the way they perceive various nonstandard varieties of Croatian, Bosnian as well as standard Croatian. The connection is tested by analyzing the results of an empirical study examining how people from different parts of Croatia perceive film characters who speak in a nonstandard form of Croatian in dubbed animated films. This paper also examines whether there is a difference in character perception depending on the language in which a character speaks. The results of the research suggest a possible connection between a person’s regional background and the way they perceive different nonstandard varieties of Croatian. 1. Introduction The film industry, or, as it is often called, the entertainment industry, today acts as an exceptionally powerful medium for the passing of attitudes and opinions. In his article ‘The Film and Education’, Donald Slesinger (1940: 264) points out that film has three core objectives: “art, advertising, and, in the technical sense, politics”. He continues to say that the filmmaker ends up becoming “a dictator by persuasion” who is “an artist conveying an impression, not an educator conveying the truth” (1940: 265). As to what kind of impressions can be conveyed, the rule is that there are no rules (1940: 266-267). In the film industry, anything can be promoted and conveyed, the same way that everything can be made to look real on screen.
