The Walt Disney Company, also known as Disney Enterprises, Inc. first began as a cartoon studio on October 16th, 1923 and has now become a global corporation. The Walt Disney corporation still continues to produce entertainment today and is now the worlds largest entertainment provider.

The Walt Disney Corporation have successfully achieved a brand identity over many years and one that is known world wide. 

The Disney Corporation believe in committing to creativity, excellence and innovation. They also believe in delivering a memorable experience and lasting impressions. 

The Walt Disney Company have established a number of resorts across the world for the public to visit.

Question: How is Disneyland Paris doing today?

Philippe Gas: During fiscal year 2009 there were many new reasons for visiting Disneyland Paris with the launch of Mickey's Magical Party which will be celebrated until March 2010. Despite a difficult economic environment, the resort continued to attract guests, especially from our proximity markets, France and Belgium. They came in even greater numbers with a 15.4 million record attendance and an occupancy rate above the average rate of the hotel sector. For our company, this year was also marked by progress made in terms of diversity with the signature of the Diversity Charter but also by the release of our first Community Report, which provides a snapshot of corporate responsibility efforts spearheaded by Disneyland Paris in regard to local communities.

Question: What will be new in 2010?

Philippe Gas: In April 2010 we will launch Disney new generation festival, with new entertainment. This summer three new attractions will open in the Walt Disney Studios Park's Toy Story Playland, inspired by Disney/Pixar's Toy Story and its famous characters. Once again these new festivities prove our capacity to reinvent ourselves and to create new experiences for all our guests.

Question: What is Disneyland Paris doing to maintain its attractiveness as the leading tourist destination in Europe?

Philippe Gas: The current economic environment is challenging but we have numerous key assets. First, the strength of the Disney brand, marked by our team creativity and a high-quality service. Every day, our Cast Members offer our guests magical life-time memories, building upon the tradition of service excellence for which Disney is known throughout the world. It is important to continue to attract our European guests by meeting their expectations. That is why, despite a difficult economic context, our strategy to adapt our offers to changes in consumer behavior (last minute booking, looking for deals, etc.) allowed many Europeans to continue to come to Disneyland Paris. This loyalty to the Disney brand and our fundamentals place us in a good position for when the European economic markets will recover.

The Walt Disney company faces competition like all industries. Although Disney have been a leading animation studio for many years, there are still a large number of competitors that are growing and becoming more well known.

Pixar is a computer animation movie studio based in Northern California. Although initially the company was geared toward computer-generated imagery hardware, it eventually began producing completely CGI short films and feature length movies.
The company was originally owned by Lucasfilm, and was created to develop advanced animation technology for use in live-action movies. In 1986, the company was purchased by Steve Jobs, the head of Apple, Inc. The company developed the Pixar Imaging Computer, which met with a limited market although it attracted the interest of Walt Disney Studios, particularly through its short film demonstrations.

This enabled Disney to have the leading edge on the animation industry and placed their competitors way behind in the market.

From the introduction of Pixar, Walt Disney produced 'Toy Story', which was a world wide success.

- Following on from the Success of 'Toy Story', Pixar created 'A bug's life', 'Monster's Inc.', 'Toy Story 2', 'Finding Nemo' and many others. Each production being a huge success generating vast amounts of profit.

Disney has attempted to incorporate some understanding of reality within their mythical style in their motion pictures. They do this by involving a number of morals and teachings in their animations.
Most of the Disney productions are created around various concepts of morals that could be seen to be included in the productions in order to teach children right from wrong.

Although looking back on some pieces of animation, the productions involve quite a dramatic representation of reality. For example in an animation with the narrative based around anti-nazi and hitler aspects.
