Long Term Impact of The Walt Disney Company
Pixar's Toy Story
The Walt Disney Company has remained as one of the top entertainment companies in the world. Through their movies, TV shows, merchandise, and theme parks, Disney is apart of millions of kids' childhoods. Disney's animated movies of the late 80's and 90's, such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King, have changed animation films forever and are still cherished by many today. Many different Disneyland parks have opened around the world, such as China and Europe. In November 1995, Disney partnered with Pixar to make Toy Story, the first ever computer animated feature film. It opened to great reviews, and is one of the best reviewed movies of all time. Disney continued to partner with Pixar for the next decade to produce computer animated films such as A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., and The Incredibles. In May 2006, Disney purchased Pixar and continued to revolutionize animated movies.
