Lisez attentivement cette introduction:
Film artist and producer Walt Disney died in 1966. Yet his work and influence live on. People around the world watch Disney movies and Disney television programs. They buy Disney music, books, videos, toys, clothes and games. They attend Disney shows. They stay in Disney hotels and ride on a Disney passenger ship. They visit Disney entertainment parks in the United States, France and Japan.
The Disney Company earns about twenty-five
thousand million dollars a year. It is one of the largest media companies
in the world. It operates movie and television companies. In 1995 it bought
the Capital Cities ABC media company which includes the ABC television network.
The Disney Company recently bought a group of international cable television
channels. It also owns sports teams.
The Disney Company also has become a major Broadway theater producer in New
York City. Its stage productions of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The
Lion King" have been among the most popular plays on Broadway.
The company continues to make successful animated films. Its latest movie
is a computer-animated film produced with the Pixar Company. It is called
"Monsters, Incorporated." It was the third most popular movie in
the United States last year.
Last year, however, a weak economy and the September terrorist attacks hurt
the Disney Company. It lost money on its Internet operations. Sales of products
at Disney stores decreased. The ABC television network lost viewers and advertising
sales. Attendance at the Disney parks fell. The company cut four-thousand
jobs last year. Most financial experts, however, say the Disney Company will
improve in the future. They believe people around the world will always enjoy
Disney entertainment.
