Disney and Dreamworks both produce good movies loved by many, but they also differ. The Disney company, paired alongside Pixar, releases movies of great quality, which as a result led to 7 Oscars for Best Animated Film, compared to Dreamworks 4 wins. Dreamworks produces about two movies for for every Disney and also shows to rate better in box-office. Furthermore, both companies compete strongly against the other for the better movie. Disney wins as producing movies of better quality because of the large amounts of awards received and Dreamworks produces movies that top its rival in box-office because of the quantity of films made. Disney movies, before buying Pixar and working together, succeeded since their first film Snow White and the
Start with the first important difference between Walt Disney and Universal Studio in point of the theme
The Disney Organisation which was first created by Walt Elias Disney on October 16th 1923, is perhaps one of the most powerful and prominent corporations in the world. Disney is best known for all their motion pictures which are aimed at a family audience, in recent years Disney collaborated with Pixar to develop further within the motion/ animation industry. According to Forbes.com Disney is ‘number eleven on The World’s Most Valuable Brands’ list. And is worth an estimated 179.5 billion dollars. The Disney Corporation is constantly putting a spin on well-known fairy tales and folk tales, whilst also creating new and innovative stories such as Frozen which is one of the largest grossing Disney films to date. From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen Disney’s films have become iconic and have had an influence on society by creating the ideals of good winning over bad and
Think of a children’s movie or two. Maybe a Disney or Pixar movie first comes to mind; or maybe a movie with “real” actors. Who are the good guys in this movie? Who are the bad? This should be easy to answer given a basic knowledge of the movie. Now who are the “good guys and bad guys” in life? Not as easy to answer. Of course, comparing fictional stereotypes to real people does not make all that much sense. Most people can obviously tell the difference between watching a movie and events happening in life. The distinction is clear. Yet children are different. They can still distinguish from the fictional and reality, but are more exposed to and influenced by the portrayals movies can impose.
Ever since Mickey Mouse was created in 1928, Disney has been at the forefront of the cartoon world. Every youngster has a favorite Disney character or movie. Over the years they have created some of the best movies of all time. However, Walt Disney hasn’t always been successful. He survived bankruptcy in 1922 and had to rethink how he was going to approach his life. I think it is safe to say the approach he took was the right one. One of his first productions was an animated short film Alice’s Wonderland, which turned into what we know as Alice in Wonderland. Mr. Disney’s first attempt at a feature-length animated film debuted in 1937 after three years of production. His masterpiece of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of his most awarded movies. Following World War II Disney Production was in a substantial amount of debt. They needed to come out with a new movie that would win over the public of America. They came out with just the right movie, Cinderella, in 1950. This was their biggest hit since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs some 15 years ago. Because of Cinderella Disney Productions stayed in business and could go on to produce many more heartwarming movies.

Did you know that there is more than one Walt Disney? That not just America has one but Japan as well? Well there is and his name is Hayao Miyazaki. He is the greatest anime artist in Japan just like Walt Disney is in America, which in their skills is very different in comparison. Walt Disney based his films on familiar fairytales that people have already created, but just switched into the way he wanted them to be while Hayao Miyazaki based his films on his own imagination and his own ideas about what he thinks kids should be watching. He wanted kids to go beyond their imagination and explore what’s around them. Sure, Disney did the same but the difference is Hayao wanted them to forget about reality completely and instead
...cartoons. Roy, Walt’s older brother and Walt moved to Los Angeles to set up the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio. Here they made the "Alice Comedies" and "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit." In 1926 Walt changed his cartoon studio name from Disney Bros. to what we now know it as today, Walt Disney Studios. ( www. JustDisney.com NP) Things took off in November of 1928 when Mickey and Minnie Mouse made their debut in "Steamboat Willie." This movie is what made Mickey, Minnie and Walt Disney famous. Early on, Walt Disney was working so hard he was having some trouble sleeping, so he took some sleeping pills to help him sleep. His wife, Lilly was unable to wake him up one morning and she called the doctor who prescribed a long trip for rest and relaxation. (Ford NP) After Walt came back home well rested, he went right back to work. He began to work on the first Disney movie! Walt wanted each of the dwarfs in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” to be a distinct individual. The solution was to create names for them that would reflect their personalities. (Miller NP) "Snow White," which took three years to make, was released in 1937. This was the beginning to what we all know today as Disney movies.
People debate Walt Disney movies are much better than Dreamworks movies. Disney movies show us how important family and friends are. Unlike Dreamworks who does not leave an impact on children, but Walt Disney who does. Walt Disney movies, also tell us that dreams can come true.
The success of Disney is a combination of creativity and innovations, and the managerial ability to identify and take advantage of every possible synergy.
Since the company was started, Walt Disney has always envisioned more than just making animated movies. In 1952 the company made plans to build its first theme park known as Disneyland (Disney.com, 2011). With the opening of the park the Walt Disney Company initiated a growth strategy that would take them to the global entertainment company that they are known as today. In 1984 the company brought in a new CEO ...
The entertainment industry holds the immense potential for growth and development.

Ever since the birth of animation, it has been a work regarded with wonder and inspiration. There has always been something magical about creating life on screen with nothing but someone’s thoughts, ideas, and dreams. That being said, when it comes to animation two big names really stand out: Pixar and DreamWorks. They are absolutely the leaders of the industry today, but the real question is; which studio is better? My argument is that Pixar is a better animation studio than DreamWorks simply for the facts that Pixar’s animations are amazingly detailed and full of life, the characters are memorable, their technology is state of the art, their marketing is years ahead of DreamWorks and the movies themselves are ageless with the rarity of the
The company that I choose to explore is The Walt Disney Company. Walt Disney started the Disney Brothers studio in 1926, after years of working as a cartoonist. I selected this company due to the fact I am a fan of their products and services. Disney produced some of my favorite films like Aladdin, Hook and The Lion King. After I visited their website, I discovered that Disney owns multiple media outlets, in such areas as film, Internet, music, broadcasting, publishing and recreation. According to Disney’s “The mission of The Walt Disney Company is to be the one of the world’s leading producers and providers of entertainment and information. Using our portfolio of brands to differentiate our content, service and consumer products, we seek to develop the most creative, innovative and profitable entertainment experiences and related products in the world”. The Disney brand is doing exactly what their mission states.
The man, the dreamer, the artist, the creator, producer, the pioneer, and the developer; Walt Disney accomplished building his own empire along with his legacy that continues to grow every day. Every individual has a story about what drives them to be the person they are today and will be tomorrow. Personally, I love his impressive movies and alluring theme parks. Walt Disney has played an integral part of my family’s life. In fact, my daughter became engaged at the end of Main Street, in a fairy-tale moment in front of the enchanted Cinderella’s Castle, in the Magic Kingdom theme park for her birthday over the holidays. Just about everyone has some knowledge of Walt Disney’s incredible endeavors. However, how many people can say that they have knowledge of the man Disney was before creating Mickey Mouse and what follows?
I have seen Mary Poppins once; however, it was very long ago, so I am not very familiar with it. I remember bits and pieces; I can sing the songs but I can’t truly recall the whole story. Nonetheless, I am familiar enough to be shocked at how different the movie is from Travers’ original work.
