Ben Gilbert describes a period when nearly all Disney profit came from parks and licensed consumer products, rather than its creative businesses.
支持这项说法
原始摘录
And David, things have gotten so bad in the creative core engine that nearly every dollar of profit is coming from the parks and licensing consumer products at this point.Disney: The Renaissance and the Empire
Yes, and that is, by far, the best option to fend off these corporate raiders. Dark times. Films and TV, you know, the Disney that you know of, the content business, is basically break-even. In 1984, Disney generated a quarter billion dollars of profit from its parks and consumer products and a mere $2 million from film and TV. The core of the famous Disney flywheel is completely broken.

Ben Gilbert describes feature-film production as a mediocre business by Acquired’s standards and treats Disney as an exception.
支持这项说法
原始摘录
studios. The business of feature film production is a mediocre one, especially by the standards of what we study on this show here with Acquired, except forThe Walt Disney Company
Listeners, since there are tons of biographies and documentaries and places analyzing Walt's psyche, we're gonna focus today on Acquired's sweet spot, which is the business. What is it that Walt's merry band did from the 1920s onward that made them succeed uniquely well in Hollywood? And when you look at Disney's profits today, it is in a whole different league than Paramount or Universal or Warner Brothers or any of the other sorta classic Hollywood Disney.

Ben Gilbert highlights Disney’s decision to build a large theme park in Anaheim when nothing comparable existed.
支持这项说法
原始摘录
And of course, building a giant theme park in Anaheim when nothing else like it existed.The Walt Disney Company
And importantly for Acquired's roots, this really is a technology story. Giant innovations that often bet the whole company on things like synchronized sound, or the crazy idea of a feature-length animated movie at all, or the multiplane camera to photograph the whole thing and turn it into a movie. And they really did invent the entire concept of the flywheel business model that so many entrepreneurs are trying to copy.
