On top of this, Disney was also given access to a bunch of television networks, a entire movie studio and a 60 percent stake in Hulu. This merger, which happened in March of this year, gave Disney access to other films and television shows such as “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” “Titanic,” the “Alien” movies and a number of other films and televisions shows. The most recent purchase from the media conglomerate was that of 21st Century Fox. Their entertainment market and track record is impressive to say the least and that is only a fraction of what they own. Just in the last decade, the media conglomerate has been able to obtain the rights to franchises such as Pixar, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Marvel Studios and even The Muppets. While Disney has not fully obtained this complete and total control, their continual and fast-paced acquiring of companies and franchises is alarming to say the least. While they continue to present more content, people are still not really recognizing that Disney is becoming a huge media monopoly.Ī monopoly is defined as the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service, according to Oxford Dictionary. Even after acquiring these two massive companies, Disney is still continuing to grow and acquire more and more. In the years since, Disney has been able to acquire new companies and franchises such as Lucasfilm and Marvel.

Needless to say, he’s completed his goal and continues to do so even after his passing in 1966. Disney first created the Walt Disney company back in 1923, he set a goal to create content that would entertain masses of people.
