世界名牌博览：迪士尼

 Walt Disney is the world’s largest and best-known media and entertainment company. It was founded in 1926 by animator brothers Walt and Roy Disney. They became pioneers in making cartoons and full-length animated¹ movies. Their creations are now an established part of our culture. Mickey Mouse, Fantasia, Snow White, Dumbo and Bambi are all cinema classics. The company’s theme parks are also world-famous. Disney has moved with the times and made several key acquisitions. In 2006, Disney bought Pixar Animation² Studios from Apple founder³ Steve Jobs, and three years later it bought Marvel⁴ Entertainment. Disney thus added cultural icons⁵ like Toy Story and Spiderman. The Disney website explains the company’s “commitment to produce unparalleled entertainment experiences based on the rich legacy⁶ of quality creative content and exceptional storytelling”.
