From Mickey Mouse to Star Wars and Beyond
How the Walt Disney Company Conquered the Entertainment Universe
Friday, August 25.  1-2 PM.

Over the last nine decades, the Walt Disney Company has transformed every facet of the entertainment business—from the creation of feature length cartoons, theme parks that span the globe, Broadway musicals, challenging Netflix with their new streaming service Disney+, to ownership of the greatest collection of franchise movies (from Stars Wars to Toy Story to The Avengers) under the control of a single studio in Hollywood history.

This presentation examines this remarkable story of creativity and media growth, and looks at how the Walt Disney Company grew from a small cartoon studio in 1923 to become the most powerful force in worldwide entertainment.
 
Presented by Brian Rose.  Snacks will be served.
