Disney

Creates movies, cartoons, theme parks, toys and streaming shows.

📖 Its story

In 1923, brothers Walt and Roy Disney opened a small cartoon studio in Los Angeles. Walt drew and dreamed big, and Roy took care of the money. In 1928 Mickey Mouse was born, and the magic hasn't stopped since!

💵 How it makes money

It earns money from theme park tickets, movies, subscriptions like Disney+, TV channels and selling products.

🤯 Fun fact

Walt Disney was the first voice of Mickey Mouse, who made his debut in 1928 in the cartoon 'Steamboat Willie.'

👍 The good part

It has well-loved characters, like Mickey, the princesses, Marvel and Star Wars, that keep selling for years.

⚠️ The risk

Making movies and parks costs a huge amount, and if audiences don't like a movie, it loses money.
