Disney Core Values
The Disney Corporation has largely based its success upon promoting a series of key values and basing their key characters, including; the hero, heroine and villain, around a strict set of criteria. Although some changes have been made since Snow White, Disneys first animated 'classic' in the 1930's, the formula hasn't differed greatly, despite some characters becoming better defined, this still generally, results in a similar product. However the few changes that have been made include the addition of different ethnic groups to the formula as well as female heroines steadily becoming more pro-active. These key values are incorporated into all Disney films and all have underlying trends, patterns and aspects that appear frequently. Magic is a classic example of this.In every Disney film from the magic mirror in Snow White to the living toys in Toy Story there are strong ties with magic and fantasy throughout, many of Disney's greatest successes have been adapted myths, fairy tales and legends given a 'Disney twist' indeed many of Disney's values are adapted from those found in these tales. This specific value is very appealing to the target audience of small children, serving well to capture their
For in many cases the protagonists draw close to salvation and sanctuary only to have it snatched from their grasp. Two hugely important parts, and this is why I stress this again, of Disney's key values and indeed audience expectation are fantasy and magic. All things considered, these are all very successful marketing techniques and also an intrinsic part of the Disney machine. In this timeless war, evil may triumph in smaller skirmishes but good will eventually prove victorious. These values are all represented and promoted in both Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story. the friendship provided by a toy in this particular case. And then launching a law suit against Ethiopia, one of the world's poorest countries, as its starving workers repossessed land, that which was rightfully theirs to begin with. In conclusion the Disney corporations' success is clearly based on a formula of key values, character types, music and commercial advertising. However, ultimately, no matter what trials they face they will succeed. Further strongly evident themes are the prevalence of heart and spirit, against danger and adversity. A further notion incorporated into all Disney films is the unending battle between good and evil. Also, at a corresponding time a song or theme tune, sang by a large artist, from the film may be released into the pop charts, further raising the awareness of the target audience of the film. Both Toy Story and Beauty and The Beast exemplify this throughout. Hence creating a generation of Disney youths.
