There are different kinds of living culture in the world today. Of these, American culture is the most
10、 widely used. And then there are different kinds of culture in American. One of the most important cultures is Disney Culture. Many scholars and young people learn to Disney Culture because it is in close contact with American Culture. The Disney Culture successes in American society depends largely
11、 on how well they learn American Culture. In this kind of American Culture learning, we can not only to learn the Disney Culture but also to understand and realize American Culture. So the American Culture learning will be constantly reinforced. Learning American Culture as a foreign culture is much
12、 more difficult. This is done in areas where American Culture is not widely used. If we want to learn and understand American Culture very well, we have to think of many ways within and outside the varied of cultural books to allow us to remember the information of American Culture. Otherwise we wil
13、l never have a chance to use American Culture, and will quickly forget what we have learned. This is the difficult task that our scholars and students of American Culture Learning in China face. We should have a method to learn and understand American Culture better and better. Disney Culture can he
14、lp us to learn American Culture better. Disney is much more prominent in American society, its impact now lives in every household, as well as a place in everyones soul. Behind it all is a thriving business that will out live most humans now and in the future.When we hear the words Walt Disney, we a
15、utomatically see Mickey Mouse and think of the theme parks. But uncle Walt was a lot more than that! A multiple award-winning movie producer, Disney is notably famous for his role in the field of entertainment in the last century, becoming one of the best known film producers in the world. Today, Th
16、e Walt Disney Company has annual revenues of $35 billion. The company also has theme parks in the United States, Japan, France, and China. A few of his characters include Winnie the Pooh, Tarzan, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Dumbo, Donald Duck, Cinderella, Goofy and man
17、y more. The Walt Disney Company introduces itself to the people and the whole world. And also introduces the American Culture to the whole world. More and more people began to be interested in the Disney Culture and the American Culture. Disney Culture demonstrated the American Culture in a vividly
18、way. So as to more and more people are willing to learn the American Culture.Walt Disneys influence on American Culture is almost beyond reckoning. From humble origins as a small-time animator, he built a huge empire of movies, television, theme parks and merchandise. The very name “Disney“ conjures
19、 a specific mood and feeling, which anyone in the Western world immediately understands.Chapter 2 The Analysis of the Disney Culture2.1 The Development of Disney CultureDisney dizni n.迪士尼.

20、s creation of the cartoon characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, he produced the first animated film with sound, Steamboat Willie (1928), and the first full-length animated feature, Snow White (1938). The Disney Culture is originated in the Walt Disney Company.Company Perspectives: Together, lets
21、bring the Disney Magic to life. Our vocation is to give way to our imaginations and to tell beautiful stories, the type of stories that leave children and adults starry eyed. At Disneyland Resort Paris, each one of us has a part to play and each part has its setting. Everywhere, in each “land“ in ou
22、r world, in each restaurant, in each hotel, in each boutique, we take part in the magic of the moment. We wish for everything to be perfect and call upon the most talented creative artists, the most surprising innovations, and the most attentive of servers. Our “raison detre“ is to continually surpr
23、ise and enchant our guests. Key Dates: 1987: Disney signs a contract with Jacques Chirac to build a theme park in Paris. 1992: Euro Disneyland opens. 1993: The company faces bankruptcy with losses of FFr 5 billion and debts of over FFr 21 billion. 1994: Saudi Prince Alwaleed purchases a stake in the
24、 firm; the parks name is changed to Disneyland Paris. 1996: The company secures profits for the second consecutive year. 2002: The Walt Disney Studios theme park opens. 2003: Euro Disney faces bankruptcy.Company History: Euro Disney S.C.A. operates Disneyland Resort Paris, the leading tourist destin
25、ation in Europe. Securing 12.2 million visitors in 2001 alone, the 1,943 hectare site includes Adventureland, Frontierland, Discoveryland, Fantasyland, and Main Street USA, along with Walt Disney Studios, a new theme park that opened in 2002. Euro Disney also encompasses seven hotels, two convention
26、 centers, 68 restaurants, 52 boutiques, Disney Village-an entertainment venue linking the theme parks and hotels-and a 27-hole golf course. After a rocky start in 1992, Euro Disney began posting profits in 1995. However, an economic slowdown, falling attendance, and rising debt related to the openin
27、g of Walt Disney Studios left the company strapped for cash in 2002. Euro Disney has turned to its major shareholders, including The Walt Disney Company and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, to rescue it from its financial woes.Mickey Goes to Europe: 1980s:Flush with the huge and instant success of t
28、he Tokyo Disneyland, which opened in 1983, the Walt Disney Company immediately began looking for a site to build a European version of the popular tourist destination. On the one hand, Disney sought to capitalize on their first experience gained from operating a theme park in a foreign market-and, g
29、iven the long-established European embrace of Disneys products, especially its films, which found even larger audiences in Europe than in America-Europe, with a population of 320 million within airplane distances of less than three hours, seemed a logical choice. On the other hand, Disney looked to
30、correct what it saw as mistakes made with its previous parks. The Tokyo Disneyland was not owned by the Disney company, which meant that Disney was forced to content itself only with royalties on that theme parks massive revenues. At Walt Disney World in Florida, the company had not foreseen the mus
31、hrooming development of hotels and other theme parks and recreation centers outside of the relatively limited confines of the park, reducing Disneys hotel room take to merely 14 percent of the areas total.Between 1983 and 1987, Disney considered sites in various countries, including the United Kingd
32、om, Germany, and Italy, but by 1985 the choice had been narrowed down to the Costa del Sol in Spain and the suburban area around Paris. In 1987, the choice fell to Paris-despite the fairer Spanish climate-in part because of Pariss larger population, its well-developed transportation system, and its role as one of the primary tourism destinations in the world, but also because of a number of important concessions made by the French government, which was eager to secure the plum job- and revenue-generating theme park, including use of the governments right of
