This is the post where I go into depth about tonight’s strategic management class — and the bizarre train of thought that my mind boarded during the discussion of tonight’s case. Well, guess what — it’s not happening. Tonight’s case was about Disney and its corporate diversification strategy. Unfortunately, our professor asked us what we thought of Disney films. Nope. Not going there! Unfortunately, I do not have a single story associated with Disney movies that are suitable for general audiences. Most of these stories are associated with a movie called “The Little Mermaid“. For whatever reason, I was forced to watch this movie numerous times during my high school and undergraduate years. I’m not even going to go into some examples of these stories. If Disney movies (and musical sequences) were more like the following, I could probably be a bit cooler with spending so much time watching cartoons:
Yeah, I do question some of the strange emphasis on collectivism and schizophrenic values espoused by some Disney programming (particularly in the form of Saturday morning cartoons), but I think way too much. While I am also big into conspiracy theories, I’m definitely *NOT* one of those people seeing “subliminal going-ons” in cartoons like Aladdin or the Lion King. I definitely never saw this (*WARNING* this next one is in bad taste and most definitely R-rated):
In summary: No, I will not discuss all of the odd occurrences associated with every Disney movie I’ve watched. There are way too many to adequately describe in the necessary situational context. Besides, they make me look guilty of something, but only due to association. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to the wholesome family values it expresses. Trust me, no person or animal was harmed in any of these incidents and most local, state, and federal laws were followed to the spirit and letter.
