Walt Disney Pictures is probably the most famous film institution, mainly due to the fact that everyone in Western civilisation grows up with the name embedded into their head. It also has the most famous founder - Walt Disney, who, upon his death asked to be frozen so that when technology advanced enough he could come back to life. He's not had much success yet. Disney traditionally specialises in family movies and animation, but in recent years it has been expanding more into live action. They also own an incredible amount of film institutions: Touchstone Pictures, Pixar, Marvel, and most recently Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm is the most controvertial of these companies as they have decided to extend the Star Wars films to an extra trilogy. This has caused both rage and glee across the fandom, and we will have to wait to see if they can really follow up the success of the previous films. Pixar are, in my opinion, one of the best film institutions in the world, as they consistently make excellent films. They do not make films for money, but rather more for the art form, and they don't make films as often, making every film special. Their films are enjoyable for both children and their parents, making them a real money grabber. Marvel too, are a brilliant way to get money, as they have a huge fan base of all their comic book fans. They, like Pixar, don't bring out loads of films, and instead take their time with each one, but in this case the quality isn't quite so high, but more 'fun'. Through these companies Disney manages to get a huge amount of money, and it is a big factor in their recent success.
Disney films include:
'The Lion King', 'Toy Story 3', 'The Avengers', 'Pirates of the Carribean', 'Beauty and the Beast', 'High School Musical', 'Tangled', 'Thor', 'Finding Nemo', 'Hannah Montana', 'Bambi', 'The Princess and the Frog', 'Alladin', 'A Bug's Life' and much much more!
