They would buy: Microsoft Roblox Fortnite Google Comcast (Jesus) Polandball Disney Sega Nintendo The Angel Company (my company) Nestle Warner Bros North Korea
They had armies. Disney has a Hulk. and a Wolverine, Homer Simpson, Miss Piggy, Beaker, Animal, Aliens, Sports Coverage, Pirates, Jedi, Sith, Indianan Jones, Guybrush Threepwood, Bobbin Threadbare, Nature Photography, Toys, Rides, Copyright Lawers, Lobbyists, Hearts & Minds within all generations and the prevailing model of fairy tales, myths and many an old story.
nah warner bros is very gud compnay becuase they made detective pikachu and i dont know here this ones from but in a meme they said showing old stuf and said theyre not censoring the reasict stuff
And what I think seems to be the biggest oversight in their empire. *Merchandising!* You can walk into a Wal-mart, Costco, Target, and hundreds more stores, and you can walk out with a crap ton of Disney merch that appeals to both children and adults. I bought my daughter a minnie mouse teddy for her first christmas a few years back, and now her eyes shine whenever she sees anything with that mouse wearing a bow. And if I wanted to spoil her, I could EASILY fill every aspect of her life with Minnie Mouse, but I try to keep a good balance lol
They also own two Broadway production companies and several theaters (live stage acting) on Broadway in NYC itself. That is in addition to radio stations, record labels, and even their own money (Disney dollars). At various times several different major league sports teams as well. If it is related to entertainment even tangentially, they likely hold some sort of interest in some business in that industry. It wouldn't surprise me to see a Disney owned brothel. That is how extensive their holdings go.
@Kurt Number1 Especially scary when you realize that amazon shopping is NOT their greatest power, it's their servers which run a very LARGE portion of websites on the internet.
So he has fox, pixar, lucasfilm, marvel, disney so only dc and warner brothers remain and then disney is the british empire of the entertainment industry
Mickey Mouses Infinity Gauntlet hold the 6 companies, Marvel, Disney animation studios, Pixar, 20th Century Foc, Lucasfilm, Hensen Family products(muppets)
Well, they did a little by telling them they can't acquire Fox Sports, but... Yeah, Disney is definitely getting to that line of monopolization. No doubt they have politicians puppeting their desires for money.
In case of the FOX acquisition, it’s because the alternative would’ve been worse. Comcast could’ve bought Fox, which would make them even more powerful than Disney is now. Why? Because they have a major network, a big movie studio, and the second largest cable company in the world. Imagine the power a company with all that assets would have in a nation where net neutrality doesn’t exist anymore... One big four channel controlling the programming of another big four channel on a cable service they own themselves. The same thing would go for a streaming service. It would give them one of (if not the) biggest movie catalogue in the world, considering the age of both FOX and Universal, and they would be free to push it onto their customers by slowing down the connection to other services. Yes, Disney is the biggest content owner, but at least they are not in control over the way their channels and services are distributed.
Corporations wait a long time to go public. They probably have ties with the space x program. Think about disney's model of abe Lincoln. MADE IN THE 50's. Coldfusion has a more descriptive video. The only problem is it's old. 3 or 4 years ago when it was uploaded.
Don’t they sell their own monopoly Disney version now? ( I have never played it but it would be funny if instead of buying hotels and such it was just companies 🤣🤣🤣
@@rjun152 Are you kidding me??? Do you have any idea how big Google is? If Google wanted to, they could buy Disney several times over! Disney is an ant compared to Google.
@@VinnyLam do they want to though? The One who rules us all has not been determined yet but I believe it will seek to keep us entertained in our enslavement. At least at first, before the culling. Thanos was right.
Vincent Lam Google only made a little less than double of what Disney made last year, so they couldn't buy them several times over. And truthfully Alphabet owns Google so they would be the one's buying most likely. And they are in different sectors so really the comparison is a bit unfounded.

@@arnoldarun7655 Exactly. And it's why we're getting tired live action remakes of every single one of their highest grossing animated properties. Just a cash grab disguised as creativity.
To be fair, some of these acquisitions are things I didn't know Disney had. So while we all know Disney is massive, it's bigger than many of us realize.

@@wicho2401 ? One company owning everything is EXTREMELY frightening and I don't see why you'd defend or support those economics. I have no idea why you're bringing "SJW"s into the discussion or how you think anyone being against them isn't political. You defeated your own argument. Lol
Another note about the theme parks. Them buying fox also gives them the Simpsons. Which goes in direct competition with Universal's Theme Parks as they have Springfield areas in Hollywood and Orlando.
Linda Sue Savage Six flags are the ones trying to buy the entire Cedar Fair company. I work at a Cedar Fair Park (Carowinds) and Six Flags offered them 6.4 billion dollars for the park. They have also placed offers for all the Cedar Fair parks, except Canada’s Wonderland.
And Universal also has an entire Marvel themed section of Islands of Adventure in Orlando, which they just renovated certain rides and aesthetics in. I honestly think that eventually they'll get tired of paying royalties to the Mouse for that, and will refurbish the entire section of the park, but that would be a huge investment in terms of time and money (they'd have to close one of their most popular sections of one of their most popular parks for at least several years to do the refurbishment, and that in and of itself means lost profits), and they're not guaranteed to as much as break even on the cost of refurbishment because a refined section of the park could potentially not be as popular as it was previously. So at that point, it may be cheaper for Universal to just pay the royalties as opposed to refurbishing a section of the park, but I don't know what numbers they're working with.
I heard they’re adding a Nintendo section to Universal, it’s possible that they’ll replace the Marvel section with it. I’d be happy with it anyway, I like Mario over Iron Man.
At first I laughed at the idea of a Disney streaming service, thinking that despite all the films they own Disney could compete in the current market or subscription streaming services. This is mainly because of its “family friendly” imagery which is why the company has never released something like Daredevil or Pulp fiction under the Disney banner, it wouldn’t be financially viable and would ruin this image. But I wonder, are they going to include films like Pulp fiction and shows like daredevil on a service who’s name is best associated with Princess and fairy tales?
"But I wonder, are they going to include films like Pulp fiction and shows like daredevil on a service who’s name is best associated with Princess and fairy tales? " If you paid attention, they don't own Pulp Fiction anymore.
You should do another one like this. AT&T: Bigger Than You Know - They took TimeWarner under their wing and rebranded it as WarnerMedia, they also own DirecTV. Comcast: Bigger Than You Know - They own NBCUniversal, The Weather Channel, and Xfinity.
He should also Viacom- Bigger Than You Know (Once they merge back with CBS that is) Verizon: Bigger Than You Know (They took Fios, AOL, The Huff Post and Yahoo!) And I assume also AT&T and Comcast
I work for a company that installs fiber optic cable for A T and T. We have started running fiber to peoples homes instead of copper, and now we're installing "streetlights" that have wifi antennas in the base. Oh, we're also running giant fiber rings around entire cities for them now. Trust me, they're growing....
The Walt Disney Company has been very smart in focusing on content and intellectual property, instead of hardware, operating systems, cable/satellite providers, Internet providers, telecommunications, social media, consumer electronics, general e. commerce, etc. Disney's competitors, including AT&T (Time Warner), Comcast (NBC Universal), Sony (Columbia), Viacom, CBS, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet (Google), and Facebook, have been much less disciplined and wise.
Wouldn’t say that. Comcast has a pretty dominant position as a cable company distributing both a big four network and a major movie studio. The same goes for AT&T. They own Warner, and with that comes the entire library of Turner and Hana-Barbera.
Sony owns Columbia pictures (rather fairly strong in the film industry) and is dominant in the music industry, along with Universal music group and Warner music group (Sony music entertainment). It also owns Crunchy Roll, FuniMation and Aniplex.
@@SlapstickGenius23 never knew that Amazon is getting MGM? Man, this streaming wars is getting competitive and even to the point that the giants has to acquire movie studios.
Aliens and Predator vs Wolverine and Dead Pool Star Wars cross over with Guardians of the Galaxy Xenomorph Queen is now a Disney Princess And more. All of these now a reality and a possibility. This whole time Thanos was collecting the Infinity Stones while Mickey was collecting the Movie studios.
Are u gonna have a big 2 year anniversary for the channel? It doesnt seem like it was that long ago that you started this channel. You started it may 12 2017. I got my galaxy s7 a day later. I still use it as a daily driver.
The Rise and Fall of WowAir. Huge rise becoming one of the leaders in flights from Iceland and connecting North America and Europe to now on the brink of collapse in just a short life time of about 7 years
As Disney being monopolized, this is definitely going to affect the quality of future material. They are only going to be competing against themselves.
You are at WDW? Awesome! I close today at one of the Tommorowland shops, hope you enjoy you trip! Also hope you get to see the fireworks show, it's always a blast to see lol.
I used to work at the Disney Parks and the more they talked about what they had power over was terrifying. I’m scared of how big they are and how much control they have. Even in the state of Florida, many of the state laws were changed to cater to Disney. Disney also built all their highway systems for the parks. They have their own fire station, ambulance, ER. It’s scary how much power they have.
I don't know where that came from. I honestly think people see a big a powerful thing that has the potential to overtake them and immediately think it is evil.
I mean, Disney has been one of the biggest companies in the world for a long time, and most of the investments that they make are known. I don’t believe that it is a secret that they are massive. Love your videos though!
In the early 1960s, Walt Disney said,"I'm not Disney anymore.I used to be Disney, but now the name has a corporate image."That statement is truer now than it was then.
I think the real reason behind buying fox was hulu and xmen. Easier to run Disney+ stream on an established platform like hulu, than starting one from scratch. And finally being able to add xmen to the MCU.
One of the acquisitions that was not mentioned is BAMtech. Walt Disney bought the company for almost $4 billion. The service owns a very stable platform for streaming video on demand to millions of users simultaneously.
Edgar De Leon Not own exactly. They manufacture most of the brands. Basically the brands are outsourcing their products to this company. The only two eyeglass brands they "own" are Ray-Ban and Oakley. Stores on this list include Target and Wal-Mart Optical, Sears too (Who the hell still goes to Sears?) Pearle Vision, Sunglass Hut, and Lenscrafters.

The coffee shop, Cinnabon and few other stores boarded up. Middle Class Mericans killed who shopped, no income or credit and old folks shop @Wal-Marts.
In terms of assets they're still no bigger than Warner Media. Only difference is Warner bought all their assets in the 90's (DC, Hanna Barbera, Castle Rock etc) and Disney's are more recent.
Fly Beep The thing is, although Apple is much richer than Disney, they’re still not a monopoly, because they don’t hold a majority market share in any industry, not even in the cell phone industry, because they face fierce competition from Samsung, LG, Huawei, Sony, Xiaomi, etc. Disney, however, does hold a majority market share in the media industry, and with the recent Fox acquisition, that’s even more true now. Disney is actually closer to being a monopoly than Apple is.
In my opinion, everyone who is oh so up about "evil empire Disney" and their supposed monopoly, is either ignorant or a hypocrite. Disney isn't even close to achieving an entertainment monopoly, if something like that is even possible. For some reason Disney always gets the critical eye, while so much more powerful companies are doing so much more and scarier damage. Wanna bet you are reading this comment on an Apple, Google or Microsoft related product, because of course you do! And let me guess, you bought it via Amazon! A company that singlehandedly destroys small businesses and bullies startups until they allow to be taken over. What's with cable companies, the true devils in the business world. Not only are AT&T and Comcast much more powerfull, they also use their power to lobby the Government in order to monopolize the entire Internet. But the Disney-Fox merger scares you? Are you aware that Disney only bought Fox because Fox was closing down their film departement anyway? The only other interested buyer was Comcast. FUCKING COMCAST!!! Would you have preferred that? And heck, that's just tech companies. What's with Big Oil? That's where the real nightmares start. What's with transportation? Only s handful of airlines control America's entire market and they cooperate in a way that basically makes them one, that's why you now have to pay for carry-on bagagge and stuff. What's with banks, who create inflations like every other year now. Private education just straight up cripples millions of people with debt. And did you know that almost all glasses come from one manufacturer, explaining why they are so expensive? Same for diamonds, which is not just a monopoly, but a freakin mafia! And don't even get me started on Pharma! When Disney creates an Opioid Crisis and then profits by combating opioid addiction, THEN you can come to me with "evil Disney monopoly". THAT is scary stuff and should be much more of an interest to the government. Oh, but Disney scares you, because... they can make a lot of movies now... uuuh! Think of them what you want, but Disney is playing capitalism as it is meant to be played, the only thing that sets them apart from its rivals is that they frickin rule at it. And look, I am not a big fan of capitalism either, but hate the game, not the player. All the companies I just mentioned make me worried and scared. But Disney didn't gain power or is using its power through lobbying and corrupting the government, poisening the environment, running sweatshops, bullying other companies, scamming customers, excersizing overreaching control over our society or blocking new competion from emerging. Disney is where it is, because it is focusing on quality first. They always did. Even if it makes me sound like a Disney mouthpiece, and I am sure some will claim I am secretely Bob Iger in disguise, but I believe if some entertainment company has to be this big and powerful, then I am glad it's Disney.
I actually made a video myself about how them buying Fox was bad for the consumer. Its cool they have the F4 and X Men but generally speaking, the sale should have never happened.
@@phineas626 as far as "what did we expect him to do", I don't care about Murdoch and neither should anybody else. We should care about consumers and competition.
Matthew Chenault that’s is definitely true. Bob Iger should Definitely rest on the acquisitions for a while. And I suggest Comcast, AT&T and Verizon (if they decide to buy CBS/Viacom, which I feel like they will in a few years or so.) be careful on not abusing their power of the amount of content like NBC, Time Warner that they want to own or the government will definitely split them up. But prob for the better
its adorable that you think that governments are still powerful enough to break up a company like Disney if it gains monopoly status. its an international media company U.S. or EU law cant hold sway over something like that. and even if an international committee came together to try and break it up, all Disney would have to do is stop producing and hide out for maybe a year, and there would be riots in the streets demanding governments to allow Disney to return. the only way a democratically elected government would be capable of fighting a media company is if the government controlled the flow of information to the people preventing political backlash. which is, in this internet age, completely impossible. politicians care the most about getting re-elected, no way that happens if they pick a fight with a mass media company. its an unwinnable fight for them. breaking up Disney just cant feasibly happen in this modern age.
Warner Brothers either completely own or have the film rights to - New Line Cinema, Castlerock films, HBO, CNN, WB Games, Cartoon Network, all of DC Comics (Disney only own part of Marvel), Vertigo Comics, Mad Magazine, WB Animation, the MGM film library, the RKO Radio Pictures film library, Turner Classic Movies library, The WB library, Cinemax, Crunchyroll, The CW (50%), TMZ, TBS, TNT, Adult Swim, Turner Sports, all of Hannah Barbra including Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Johnny Quest, Tom and Jerry and more, the Looney Tunes, The Wizarding World, Lord of the Rings, Pokemon, Akira, Thundercats, Dune, Attack on Titan, Tomb Raider, Lego, King Kong, Godzilla, Blade Runner, Mad Max, Minecraft, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Matrix, Barbie, Hello Kitty, Beetlejuice, Doctor Seuss, IT, Doctor Sleep, Hot Wheels, The Witches, Willy Wonka, Sherlock Holmes, Gremlins, Austin Powers, The Wizard of Oz, Edge of Tomorrow, Funko, and more. Plus they have an exclusive deal to make all Christopher Nolan movies, an exclusive deal to make all JJ Abrams movies and shows, and have a production deal with Legendary Pictures. They also own 4 international theme parks, the Rotten Tomatoes website, and have mega-corporation AT&T at their backs. If they're not competing with Disney they have nobody to blame but themselves. Disney only make 10 movies a year across all of their studios. Warner Brothers make double that amount. Warner Brothers have everything they need to dominate but they're not doing because they make bad decisions and let IP rot on the shelf while Disney utilises everything they have.
Toho owns the film rights to Pokémon and Godzilla, Warner Bros or Legendary brought the rights for a few Kaijus to use them in their movies but they will expire. Disney owns all of Marvel not a part of them? Marvel comics holds the rights to licensed comic books which is why you see the Marvel logo in Star Wars books. Unless you refer to the film industry.
I don't think they own all of RKO library since many of Disney's early films were distributed through RKO. But I'm not sure how that situation worked out.
Star Wars was dead long before Disney got their hands on it. They just bought it back from the grave. For better or worse. Honestly, the only good things that came out of the series was the first two movies and Clone Wars. Although I do like the new trilogy, I would like it a whole lot more if it wasn't another generational three film thing and the 9th movie can finally end this fucking franchise.

Disney might pull out an EA move. Time will only tell. This whole aqusition could be a good thing or a bad thing. Less competition means higher prices, decline in quality, and decline of innovation. Free market competitive capitalism promote these 3 important keys. Acquisition and merger will only lead to monopoly which the great Teddy warned us about. He would consider mergers if there are some conditions or factors though. But I dont think he would allow this kind of mergers and acquisitions that are happening today. Corporations are already considered people from the SC ruling of Citizens United vs FTC, and they buy our politicians, from public servants to private servants. More money to them is = to more power to buy politicians and implant their employees in these government agencies (regulatory capture) i.e. Scott Pruitt an Exon Mobile employee, Ajit Pai an AT&T employee, Nikki Haley a Boeing employee, Betsy Devo an AMWAY owner and the sister of the owner of Blackwater, a mercenary corporation. And I think the new UN ambassador/secretary is tied to a company.
I’m excited for Disney+, especially with the announcement that “vaulted” material will be made available without moratorium, that’s exciting. My only issue with Disney+ is that it likely won’t include the original Fantasia or Song of the South and something tells me part of Dumbo will be removed or censored. They may be seen as racist today, but it’s part of the studio’s history and honestly we know better today... it’s more insulting to sweep all that under the rug.
Yes but Im a lifelong Disney Nerd, DVC member, Annual Passholder at DLR and WDW, and was friends with the late Dave Smith who was the expert on just about anything remotely Disney related (it was his job for 30+ years lol). Anyway yeah Disney is HUGE. Theres a lot they own that ya didnt even get to in this, they are massive. I personally dont have a problem with it
Assets you didn't mention: - Disney Cruises - Disney Stores (they sell $59b worth of merch per year, 10x more than Warner Bros) - Disney video games (they make $6b a year just from android games) - Disney on Broadway (Lion King is the highest-grossing Broadway show ever) - Disney Music (They own like 5 music labels) - D23 - Disney Book Publishing - Comic Publishers (Marvel Comics, Disney Comics, Boom Studios) - Hotstar streaming service in Asia - Disney on Ice / Marvel Universe Live shows - The El Capitan Theatre - Industrial Light and Music and Fox VFX Lab - The Saban, Touchstone, and Jetix content libraries
Funny little story - Back in university, I think in 2018 or 2019, I was in this history class that taught about the Progressive Era, a.k.a The Golden Era stretching from the 1880s to around 1920 & later - which covered post-Civil War era America as well as the American industrial revolution and, most important to this comment, the rise of big business and monopolies. The major assignment of that class, like others, was that we had to write a 10+ page paper covering a topic important / connected to the classes' subject. I think my first idea that came to mind almost immediately was that I wanted to write a compare & contrast paper discussing how Disney had become a modern-day monopoly in the entertainment industry through it's frequent purchases of various properties and studios while simultaneously doing what they can to ensure their ownerships of such were to never run out or turn over to the public domain (I would also use examples found with past monopolies like Carnegie and Rockefeller in regards to practices & such for comparison.) In the end, when I submitted my idea to the professor, he politely told me that while such a topic would make for a fascinating paper, the syllabus of the class required a straight-forward, research & discuss type of paper topic for the class (or something like that, I can't really remember that well.) Instead of that topic, I ultimately ended up writing a paper discussing the history of the medicinal field with a special highlight on the advent, rise and eventual crisis / effect of the use of opioids and other such narcotics during the time., per his suggestion. I wish I had argued a bit more on my original topic because I feel, especially today, that Disney has grown to a point where they truly are / do have a monopoly on the entertainment industry as well as a heavy influence in other areas both nationally and internationally - and that, overall, is not a very good thing.
When Disney bought Fox Family in 2001, that included Saban Entertainment, which owned the Power Rangers franchise. So Disney owned Power Rangers until 2010 when Haim Saban bought it back.
I've been a Disney shareholder since 1993, and I'd like to see your take on the dive Disney has experienced (is experiencing) since around the start of the pandemic.
This is pretty basic knowledge. It's way bigger than even you know. Although they sold off Miramax and a few other companies, they also own many companies people probably aren't aware of. For one thing, they use the names "Touchtone Pictures" and "Hollywood Records" for projects they don't want their Disney brand on.
Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures are both defunct studios. They both closed down years ago. And neither of them were acquisitions, they were both original studios founded by Disney.
Oh, there’s more to Disney that you don’t know that’s not covered in this video. They also own digital content that they acquired like Maker Studios, which once owned content creators like Pewdiepie and Blip tv, they even owned educational merchandise like Baby Einstein, and produced video games like Club Penguin.
GoPro. Research used to be easy to find online to see what they were designing, like new retractable lightsaber. Their newest animatronic is so unreal too

They also own two Broadway production companies and several theaters (live stage acting) on Broadway in NYC itself.

Bob Iger is Thanos, collecting companies like Infinity Stones.
the disney company is like thanos calecting the stone hope it ends up defrantly thin infinity war .
So he has fox, pixar, lucasfilm, marvel, disney so only dc and warner brothers remain and then disney is the british empire of the entertainment industry
No, Comcast next then Sony then Warner Bros
So true
SheosMan117 ikr lol cool comparison
So, what you're saying is, Mickey Mouse could have The Infinity Gauntlet and it be Canon?
Mickey Mouses Infinity Gauntlet hold the 6 companies, Marvel, Disney animation studios, Pixar, 20th Century Foc, Lucasfilm, Hensen Family products(muppets)
That would be........................

How has the government not stepped in here yet and said woah there buddy hold up.
Because they probably bought them off.
Well, they did a little by telling them they can't acquire Fox Sports, but... Yeah, Disney is definitely getting to that line of monopolization. No doubt they have politicians puppeting their desires for money.
Because they are a dominating force for sure, however you still have many many options.
Disney owns a 60% share of the government
In case of the FOX acquisition, it’s because the alternative would’ve been worse. Comcast could’ve bought Fox, which would make them even more powerful than Disney is now.
Why? Because they have a major network, a big movie studio, and the second largest cable company in the world.
Imagine the power a company with all that assets would have in a nation where net neutrality doesn’t exist anymore... One big four channel controlling the programming of another big four channel on a cable service they own themselves. The same thing would go for a streaming service. It would give them one of (if not the) biggest movie catalogue in the world, considering the age of both FOX and Universal, and they would be free to push it onto their customers by slowing down the connection to other services.
Yes, Disney is the biggest content owner, but at least they are not in control over the way their channels and services are distributed.
2020: Disney brought 100 square meters on the moon for their new theme park.
2045: Disney bought Olympus Mons on Mars for their water park.
Corporations wait a long time to go public. They probably have ties with the space x program. Think about disney's model of abe Lincoln. MADE IN THE 50's. Coldfusion has a more descriptive video. The only problem is it's old. 3 or 4 years ago when it was uploaded.

Another note about the theme parks.
Them buying fox also gives them the Simpsons. Which goes in direct competition with Universal's Theme Parks as they have Springfield areas in Hollywood and Orlando.
Disney's didn't they also buy six flags as well or was that ceder point
Same thing with the existing marvel rides in Universal, Disney gets a cut
Linda Sue Savage Six flags are the ones trying to buy the entire Cedar Fair company. I work at a Cedar Fair Park (Carowinds) and Six Flags offered them 6.4 billion dollars for the park. They have also placed offers for all the Cedar Fair parks, except Canada’s Wonderland.
And Universal also has an entire Marvel themed section of Islands of Adventure in Orlando, which they just renovated certain rides and aesthetics in. I honestly think that eventually they'll get tired of paying royalties to the Mouse for that, and will refurbish the entire section of the park, but that would be a huge investment in terms of time and money (they'd have to close one of their most popular sections of one of their most popular parks for at least several years to do the refurbishment, and that in and of itself means lost profits), and they're not guaranteed to as much as break even on the cost of refurbishment because a refined section of the park could potentially not be as popular as it was previously. So at that point, it may be cheaper for Universal to just pay the royalties as opposed to refurbishing a section of the park, but I don't know what numbers they're working with.
I heard they’re adding a Nintendo section to Universal, it’s possible that they’ll replace the Marvel section with it. I’d be happy with it anyway, I like Mario over Iron Man.
...Kingdom Hearts 4 sure looks more interesting now

Ah ESPN, we finally get a game about the origin place of all darkness.
At first I laughed at the idea of a Disney streaming service, thinking that despite all the films they own Disney could compete in the current market or subscription streaming services. This is mainly because of its “family friendly” imagery which is why the company has never released something like Daredevil or Pulp fiction under the Disney banner, it wouldn’t be financially viable and would ruin this image.
But I wonder, are they going to include films like Pulp fiction and shows like daredevil on a service who’s name is best associated with Princess and fairy tales?
What do you think they own 60% of hulu for?
They could just rename it, but I see your point
They’d be like Netflix and have a kids only section
Disney+ is a hot mess 1 week after full launch.
"But I wonder, are they going to include films like Pulp fiction and shows like daredevil on a service who’s name is best associated with Princess and fairy tales? "
If you paid attention, they don't own Pulp Fiction anymore.
You should do another one like this.

The Walt Disney Company has been very smart in focusing on content and intellectual property, instead of hardware, operating systems, cable/satellite providers, Internet providers, telecommunications, social media, consumer electronics, general e. commerce, etc.
Disney's competitors, including AT&T (Time Warner), Comcast (NBC Universal), Sony (Columbia), Viacom, CBS, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet (Google), and Facebook, have been much less disciplined and wise.
@@mattk.3645 oh, Yeah..... You're Right,
Wouldn’t say that. Comcast has a pretty dominant position as a cable company distributing both a big four network and a major movie studio.
The same goes for AT&T. They own Warner, and with that comes the entire library of Turner and Hana-Barbera.
Sony owns Columbia pictures (rather fairly strong in the film industry) and is dominant in the music industry, along with Universal music group and Warner music group (Sony music entertainment). It also owns Crunchy Roll, FuniMation and Aniplex.

I used to work at the Disney Parks and the more they talked about what they had power over was terrifying. I’m scared of how big they are and how much control they have.

It’s scary how much power they have.
Then Florida said no!

Easier to run Disney+ stream on an established platform like hulu, than starting one from scratch.
And finally being able to add xmen to the MCU.

Fly Beep The thing is, although Apple is much richer than Disney, they’re still not a monopoly, because they don’t hold a majority market share in any industry, not even in the cell phone industry, because they face fierce competition from Samsung, LG, Huawei, Sony, Xiaomi, etc. Disney, however, does hold a majority market share in the media industry, and with the recent Fox acquisition, that’s even more true now. Disney is actually closer to being a monopoly than Apple is.
In my opinion, everyone who is oh so up about "evil empire Disney" and their supposed monopoly, is either ignorant or a hypocrite.
Disney isn't even close to achieving an entertainment monopoly, if something like that is even possible. For some reason Disney always gets the critical eye, while so much more powerful companies are doing so much more and scarier damage. Wanna bet you are reading this comment on an Apple, Google or Microsoft related product, because of course you do! And let me guess, you bought it via Amazon! A company that singlehandedly destroys small businesses and bullies startups until they allow to be taken over.
What's with cable companies, the true devils in the business world. Not only are AT&T and Comcast much more powerfull, they also use their power to lobby the Government in order to monopolize the entire Internet. But the Disney-Fox merger scares you?

And heck, that's just tech companies. What's with Big Oil? That's where the real nightmares start. What's with transportation?

And did you know that almost all glasses come from one manufacturer, explaining why they are so expensive? Same for diamonds, which is not just a monopoly, but a freakin mafia! And don't even get me started on Pharma! When Disney creates an Opioid Crisis and then profits by combating opioid addiction, THEN you can come to me with "evil Disney monopoly".
THAT is scary stuff and should be much more of an interest to the government. Oh, but Disney scares you, because... they can make a lot of movies now... uuuh!
Think of them what you want, but Disney is playing capitalism as it is meant to be played, the only thing that sets them apart from its rivals is that they frickin rule at it. And look, I am not a big fan of capitalism either, but hate the game, not the player.
All the companies I just mentioned make me worried and scared. But Disney didn't gain power or is using its power through lobbying and corrupting the government, poisening the environment, running sweatshops, bullying other companies, scamming customers, excersizing overreaching control over our society or blocking new competion from emerging.
Disney is where it is, because it is focusing on quality first. They always did. Even if it makes me sound like a Disney mouthpiece, and I am sure some will claim I am secretely Bob Iger in disguise, but I believe if some entertainment company has to be this big and powerful, then I am glad it's Disney.
I actually made a video myself about how them buying Fox was bad for the consumer. Its cool they have the F4 and X Men but generally speaking, the sale should have never happened.

Matthew Chenault that’s is definitely true. Bob Iger should Definitely rest on the acquisitions for a while. And I suggest Comcast, AT&T and Verizon (if they decide to buy CBS/Viacom, which I feel like they will in a few years or so.) be careful on not abusing their power of the amount of content like NBC, Time Warner that they want to own or the government will definitely split them up. But prob for the better
its adorable that you think that governments are still powerful enough to break up a company like Disney if it gains monopoly status. its an international media company U.S. or EU law cant hold sway over something like that. and even if an international committee came together to try and break it up, all Disney would have to do is stop producing and hide out for maybe a year, and there would be riots in the streets demanding governments to allow Disney to return. the only way a democratically elected government would be capable of fighting a media company is if the government controlled the flow of information to the people preventing political backlash. which is, in this internet age, completely impossible. politicians care the most about getting re-elected, no way that happens if they pick a fight with a mass media company. its an unwinnable fight for them. breaking up Disney just cant feasibly happen in this modern age.

Plus they have an exclusive deal to make all Christopher Nolan movies, an exclusive deal to make all JJ Abrams movies and shows, and have a production deal with Legendary Pictures.
They also own 4 international theme parks, the Rotten Tomatoes website, and have mega-corporation AT&T at their backs.
If they're not competing with Disney they have nobody to blame but themselves. Disney only make 10 movies a year across all of their studios. Warner Brothers make double that amount. Warner Brothers have everything they need to dominate but they're not doing because they make bad decisions and let IP rot on the shelf while Disney utilises everything they have.
Disney gives us exactly what we want? Did u saw the new star wars?
Toho owns the film rights to Pokémon and Godzilla, Warner Bros or Legendary brought the rights for a few Kaijus to use them in their movies but they will expire.
Disney owns all of Marvel not a part of them? Marvel comics holds the rights to licensed comic books which is why you see the Marvel logo in Star Wars books. Unless you refer to the film industry.
Warner Bros only distributes the pre-May 1986 MGM film library
I don't think they own all of RKO library since many of Disney's early films were distributed through RKO. But I'm not sure how that situation worked out.
Star Wars was dead long before Disney got their hands on it. They just bought it back from the grave. For better or worse. Honestly, the only good things that came out of the series was the first two movies and Clone Wars. Although I do like the new trilogy, I would like it a whole lot more if it wasn't another generational three film thing and the 9th movie can finally end this fucking franchise.

THAT is scary stuff and should be much more of an interest to the government. Oh, but Disney scares you, because... they can make a lot of movies now... uuuh!
Think of them what you want, but Disney is playing capitalism as it is meant to be played, the only thing that sets them apart from its rivals is that they frickin rule at it. And look, I am not a big fan of capitalism either, but hate the game, not the player.
All the companies I just mentioned make me worried and scared. But Disney didn't gain power or is using its power through lobbying and corrupting the government, poisening the environment, running sweatshops, bullying other companies, scamming customers, excersizing overreaching control over our society or blocking new competion from emerging.
Disney is where it is, because it is focusing on quality first. They always did. Even if it makes me sound like a Disney mouthpiece, and I am sure some will claim I am secretely Bob Iger in disguise, but I believe if some entertainment company has to be this big and powerful, then I am glad it's Disney.
Not you your evil twin mickey get back in ur cage
Disney might pull out an EA move. Time will only tell. This whole aqusition could be a good thing or a bad thing. Less competition means higher prices, decline in quality, and decline of innovation.
Free market competitive capitalism promote these 3 important keys. Acquisition and merger will only lead to monopoly which the great Teddy warned us about. He would consider mergers if there are some conditions or factors though. But I dont think he would allow this kind of mergers and acquisitions that are happening today. Corporations are already considered people from the SC ruling of Citizens United vs FTC, and they buy our politicians, from public servants to private servants. More money to them is = to more power to buy politicians and implant their employees in these government agencies (regulatory capture) i.e. Scott Pruitt an Exon Mobile employee, Ajit Pai an AT&T employee, Nikki Haley a Boeing employee, Betsy Devo an AMWAY owner and the sister of the owner of Blackwater, a mercenary corporation. And I think the new UN ambassador/secretary is tied to a company.
Former Disney executive=adviser to VA director spotted @Mar A Lago(Ike Perlmutter was photographed there last year. Of course he was fired from TWDC.)
I’m excited for Disney+, especially with the announcement that “vaulted” material will be made available without moratorium, that’s exciting.
My only issue with Disney+ is that it likely won’t include the original Fantasia or Song of the South and something tells me part of Dumbo will be removed or censored. They may be seen as racist today, but it’s part of the studio’s history and honestly we know better today... it’s more insulting to sweep all that under the rug.
I remember Finding Nemo for the GameCube
Swim through all the rings
@@azrieldreamer Nice one
Yes but Im a lifelong Disney Nerd, DVC member, Annual Passholder at DLR and WDW, and was friends with the late Dave Smith who was the expert on just about anything remotely Disney related (it was his job for 30+ years lol). Anyway yeah Disney is HUGE. Theres a lot they own that ya didnt even get to in this, they are massive. I personally dont have a problem with it
@Matthew Chenault Too soon... ;)

The MCU started in 2008
Yes it did. Iron Man was distributed by Paramount Pictures.

Yep it's annoying
Good to know I'm not the only one getting these
2100: The world is governed by Disney, Facebook, Google and my upcoming company KEKW
I watch a lot of Defunct Land, I won't be surprised from this probably.. inb4 Michael Eisner renaissance rants.
2051 : 57 % of all industry and commerce is owned by amazon 43 % is owned by disney
205w: 100% is owned by disney
2069, Disney buys Amazon and owns 100% of all industry and commerce
I love the way he says dollars. It sounds like he’s saying “Daaallars”
im sorry, i dont usually be snarky at video titles as its a cheap shot, but im sorry mr company man, you are wrong. i know they are eating everything.
Oh my goodness, they made the video I recommended. Thank you so much!
Not to sound like I'm bragging, but I recommended this video on his own website myself.
Funny little story - Back in university, I think in 2018 or 2019, I was in this history class that taught about the Progressive Era, a.k.a The Golden Era stretching from the 1880s to around 1920 & later - which covered post-Civil War era America as well as the American industrial revolution and, most important to this comment, the rise of big business and monopolies. The major assignment of that class, like others, was that we had to write a 10+ page paper covering a topic important / connected to the classes' subject. I think my first idea that came to mind almost immediately was that I wanted to write a compare & contrast paper discussing how Disney had become a modern-day monopoly in the entertainment industry through it's frequent purchases of various properties and studios while simultaneously doing what they can to ensure their ownerships of such were to never run out or turn over to the public domain (I would also use examples found with past monopolies like Carnegie and Rockefeller in regards to practices & such for comparison.)
In the end, when I submitted my idea to the professor, he politely told me that while such a topic would make for a fascinating paper, the syllabus of the class required a straight-forward, research & discuss type of paper topic for the class (or something like that, I can't really remember that well.) Instead of that topic, I ultimately ended up writing a paper discussing the history of the medicinal field with a special highlight on the advent, rise and eventual crisis / effect of the use of opioids and other such narcotics during the time., per his suggestion.
I wish I had argued a bit more on my original topic because I feel, especially today, that Disney has grown to a point where they truly are / do have a monopoly on the entertainment industry as well as a heavy influence in other areas both nationally and internationally - and that, overall, is not a very good thing.
When Disney bought Fox Family in 2001, that included Saban Entertainment, which owned the Power Rangers franchise.
So Disney owned Power Rangers until 2010 when Haim Saban bought it back.
Well, Disney owned Fox now. So I think it's a good news but I don't think The Simpsons and Family Guy could fit in the Disney category.
Disney has been producing trash (Miramax) for a long time now. The Simpsons and Family Guy will fit right in.
@@btdga Al Jazeera owns miramax now
SentsuizanXS Actually, Miramax is currently owned by BeIN Media Group, which is a spin-off of Al Jazeera.
Wait really? I’m surprise that Disney didn’t keep Power Rangers...
Oh yeah, they also used to own the Angels and the Ducks.
I thought Paramount did
@@cornishchris8404 Nope. That is why they were the MIGHTY Ducks for a while and why there Angels parade was in Disneyland in 2002
Sony owns Charlie’s Angels.
I've been a Disney shareholder since 1993, and I'd like to see your take on the dive Disney has experienced (is experiencing) since around the start of the pandemic.
You should do a bigger than you know over Luxottica
Desertfox yes!!!
Last time I this early, Casio was still making watches/instruments/electronics.
This “Disney+” thing seems like a bit of a stretch. I don’t see Netflix even batting an eye.
This is pretty basic knowledge. It's way bigger than even you know.
Although they sold off Miramax and a few other companies, they also own many companies people probably aren't aware of. For one thing, they use the names "Touchtone Pictures" and "Hollywood Records" for projects they don't want their Disney brand on.
This is why we need socialism/communism. At least it doesn't have corrupt businesses.
Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures are both defunct studios. They both closed down years ago. And neither of them were acquisitions, they were both original studios founded by Disney.
I can imagine going into a theater and seeing like 5 logos at the start
Idk why the government let Disney buy fox soon media Entertainment will be very expensive
Because the government can't interfere in business related stuff I think
premuel2 no they can, antitrust act
@@thirstyfajita4115 Oh well, then they just don't care or something
Because Comcast owning FOX would be a lot worse. Especially for US consumers.
Because there was no case for it breaking anti-trust laws.
It’s going to be interesting to see if they’ll let Mickey Mouse go into the public domain quietly.
Hopefully. I'd LOVE to see alot of stuff go into the Public Domain.
I know it's big but bigger than I already know?
You're everywhere I go😅
I know, right?
0:57 Number 5 is owned by disney, and number 4 is working together with Disney ;) so technically, Disney is at 46 percent ;)
Lennard Deij Not really.
Oh, there’s more to Disney that you don’t know that’s not covered in this video. They also own digital content that they acquired like Maker Studios, which once owned content creators like Pewdiepie and Blip tv, they even owned educational merchandise like Baby Einstein, and produced video games like Club Penguin.
GoPro. Research used to be easy to find online to see what they were designing, like new retractable lightsaber. Their newest animatronic is so unreal too
Christina Cope are you talking about Disney.
@@Markimark151 yes.
@Christina Cope they’re doing animatronics from Disney Imagineer for the new Star Wars attractions.
@@Markimark151 awesome, isn't it!
