Talk:The Walt Disney Company

Should Disney redirect here instead of to Walt Disney the person? Most of the links are probably refering to the company but most of the details are in the article on the person. Rmhermen 21:15 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I think that makes logical sense. We link names to full names, using the pipe. Disney is invariably used to refer simply to the company. FearÉIREANN 21:34 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Yes, especially since so much of the Walt Disney Corporation's product was not in fact by Walt Disney, but by Carl Barks and other generally unsung artists and writers. Koyaanis Qatsi 21:36 3 Jun 2003 (UTC)
There should be a list of major Disney productions. --Lee M
The company has an exclusive right to distribute motion pictures produced by Studio Ghibli led by Miyazaki Hayao.
where exactly ??? the world except Japan ? the world except Asia ? (i think it's that not sure) surely Ghibli distribute their own movies themlselves in Japan!!! ZeroJanvier 00:47, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

- Disney-Tokuma Deal is an agreement made in 1996 between the Walt Disney Corporation and Tokuma Publishing. As a result of this agreement, Disney was granted:
- The worldwide (including Japan, but excluding the rest of Asia) home video distribution rights to certain Studio Ghibli works [see list at left].
- The worldwide (excluding Asia) theatrical distribution rights to the film Princess Mononoke.
- The worldwide distribution rights to several live action movies produced by Tokuma Publishing, such as "Opium Wars" and "Gamera 2."
- Not included
- Disney's worldwide film and video distribution rights do not include Asia.
- Disney's worldwide video distribution rights do include Japan, as an exception to the above.
- DVD rights were not included in the deal.

- What's Changed?
- The agreement between Tokuma and Disney has evolved over time to include items not covered under the original plan.
- DVD rights
- "I Can Hear the Sea/Ocean Waves"
- - released on DVD by BVHE Japan Home video distribution in Taiwan through BVHE Taiwan
- These changes were never formally announced and we can only guess at the current state of the deal.

BVHE Taiwan not only distributes Ghibli DVD in Taiwan, but also authorizes CAV Thakral and IVL to distribute Ghibli VCD in mainland China and DVD and VCD in Hongkong, respectively.Mickeymousechen 11:58, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)Mickeymousechen

E! Entertainment Television
Someone removed E! Entertainment Television from the list of partially owned companies. Several online sources show it (at 50% or 30%) with Comcast being another owner. Is this no longer true? Rmhermen 18:36, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)
- I see nothing stating that Disney has given up its share in E!. Their site (http://www.eentertainment.com/careers/categories/) still says Disney is the minority shareholder in the joint venture, as does a month-old Forbes report (http://www.forbes.com/home_europe/newswire/2004/02/11/rtr1256808.html). If the IP user wants it gone, he needs to cite a source. -- Cyrius 19:51, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Criticism
Someone who knows more should include information on their alleged (or not) use of sweat shops. Mir 05:46, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
And strict employee policies. --Xiong 21:23, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
Copyright infringement lawsuits
There is a desperate need for a discussion of The Mouse's violently litigious nature -- not merely as a public service, but to warn Wikipedians thinking about fair use. --Xiong 21:23, 2005 Mar 13 (UTC)
Re: Movie studio categories.
Do NOT put those here. The Walt Disney Company itself is not a movie/animation studio; it owns several of them. --FuriousFreddy 23:07, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
2nd world war
Should this article contain some information about the 2nd world war that the studio produced? I was researching about this and found nothing.
History section
Would anyone else prefer the history section to be in narrative form? The timeline is great, but I think it should exist on its own page as a supplement. As it is now, the history section lacks coherence and organization.--Canoeguy81 02:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
