Why is Japan not as good as Disney?

The full name of Disney is Walter Disney Company, named after its founder Walter Disney (there are different translations in China, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province, see below). It is a large multinational company headquartered in the United States, whose main businesses include entertainment production, theme parks, toys, books, video games and media networks. Jin Shi Film Company, Max Film Company of Milla, Hollywood Film Company (company name), Weber Audio and Video Products, ESPN Sports and ABC TV Network are all its subsidiaries (brands).

Disney, as an entertainment brand, ranked 7th in the global 100 brand of Interbrand/BusinessWeek in 2005 (according to brand value).

Disney himself

Disney, namely Walt Elis Disney (also translated as Walt Elis Disney) (190 1- 1966).

American animator, program host and film producer, famous for creating cartoon characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. He made the world's first animated film Steamboat Willie (also translated as Steamboat Willie and Steamboat William, 1928) and the first animated feature film Snow White (1938). He and his brother Roy Disney founded the Disney Company.

It is said that Walt Elis Disney, the founder of this animation kingdom, had an unhappy early life. He once lived in a shabby warehouse. On a cold night, he found a little mouse and drew a sketch for it.

This is the prototype of the famous Mickey Mouse.

Walter Disney's many achievements have made him a world-famous figure, including his creation of many famous films such as Snow White and Pinocchio, as well as animated characters such as Mickey Mouse. It was also he who made Disneyland possible and created the theme park. The TV program Disney Wonderland (formerly known as Disney World) hosted by him made countless Americans unforgettable. He won 56 Oscar nominations and 7 Emmy awards. Walter Disney died of lung cancer on February 65, 2005, when he was working at Disney World in Florida. The theme park opened a few years after his death.

Disneyland

Some people will say, "Have you ever been to Disney?" "I want tickets for Disney", in which Disney means Disney theme park, and among all the theme parks, California Disneyland is the most specially mentioned. Generally, only China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) will use this specific method.

Disneyland is a theme park. The so-called theme park means that everything in the park, from environmental layout to entertainment facilities, is concentrated on one or several specific themes. There are five Disneyland in the world, which are located in Florida, Southern California, Tokyo, China and Hongkong.

Theme parks can be said to be Disney's cash cow. Last year, the department's revenue alone accounted for 27% of the total sales-25.4 billion dollars, and the profit was 3.2 billion dollars, accounting for half of the total profit.

Los Angeles Disneyland

Disney combined the expressions of colors, excitement and magic used in cartoons with the functions of amusement parks, and launched the world's first modern theme park-Disneyland in Los Angeles on 1955!

Orlando Disney World

From 65438 to 0964, people began to build a bigger amusement park, which is the "Disney World" in Orlando. After five years of construction, Disney World finally opened to the public in June 197 1. It costs $766 million and is located outside Orlando, Florida. This is an entertainment center for all ages in Xian Yi.

Tokyo disneyland

Tokyo Disneyland, known as the first amusement park in Asia, is the largest Disneyland in the world at present, which is built according to American Disneyland. Its theme park covers 70 to 80 hectares. Bigger than two Disneyland parks in America. Since its opening on April 5th, 1983, this paradise has become a tourist attraction suitable for all ages.

Paris Disneyland

Walter Disney spent $44 billion to build the first Disneyland in Europe. 1992 At the beginning of this year, Disneyland opened in the town of Marne Valley, a suburb of Paris. At first, it had 6 hotels and 5,200 rooms, more than all the rooms in Kenlus.

Hong kong disneyland

1999165438+1On 2 October, the Disney Company and the China SAR Government reached an agreement on the construction of a Disney theme park in Hong Kong. The first phase of the "Magic Kingdom" project of Disneyland was completed and opened in 2005, covering an area of 126 hectares. In about 40 years after its completion, it will bring 654.38+048 billion Hong Kong dollars in revenue and provide 20,000 employment opportunities.

Magic Park: Eight Theme Parks

All Disney parks in the United States are almost identical, consisting of American Avenue, Adventure Park, New Orleans Square, Home of Everything, Wilderness, Happy Garden, Mickey Fairy Tale City and eight theme parks in the future world.

About Disney's Chinese name

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. You must often see Disney and Disney. But what's the difference between them?

It turns out that before 1995, the word "Disney" was translated differently in Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province. The following is a list:

Mainland China: Disney-Disney, Walter Disney-Walter Disney.

Hongkong, China: Disney-Walter Disney Disney-Disney Road.

Taiwan Province Province, China: Disney-Disney, Walter Disney-Walter Disney.

1995, in order to unify the China market, Disney decided to use the name "Disney" in China after careful discussion. Which is below.

Unified official Chinese names: Disney-Disney, Walter Disney-Walter Disney.

I still remember that it was in the preview column of the fifth issue of Mickey Mouse magazine (the cover is blue and the character is Donald Duck), and an article entitled "Renaming Disney" first released this news to Disney fans. Mickey Mouse started with the sixth issue of 1995 (for example, the slogan "The original Disney cartoon" on the cover was originally "Disney" We really applaud this behavior!

However, due to various reasons, the standardized name "Disney" has not been properly promoted in Taiwan Province Province, and most TV newspapers and other media still use the title "Disney". This entry has not been modified in the authoritative language dictionary of China, and even a few official products use the name "Disney", which is no longer an official translation.

But the fact that Disney is the official name of China cannot be changed. For example, you can see that in Disney.com.cn, genuine Disney DVDs and books use Disney.

Is 1928 Disney cartoon Steamboat Willie (also translated as Steamboat Willie and Steamboat William). This cartoon premiered in new york on1928165438+10/8, and it was the first time to introduce Mickey Mouse to the audience. In fact, Disney completed all animated films with dialogue in the same year, but it was released after Steamboat Willie.

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are two of the most famous animated characters drawn by American animator Disney. Donald Duck first appeared in 1934' s cartoon "Three Smart Chickens".

The most popular animated characters

Mickey Mouse, a world-famous cartoon, was born in1928165438+10/8, which is also the first release of Steamboat Willie. Mickey Mouse is the protagonist of this cartoon. In fact, it was not created by Disney, but by another animator named Upa Ivex. But Mickey Mouse's voice was designed by Disney. By 1934, Mickey Mouse had become the Hollywood star who received the most letters from fans. With Mickey Mouse as the main character, he shot 1 1 cartoons, 87 of which were from the 1930s. The last Mickey Mouse cartoon was a simple thing in 1953.

Disney comics:

Disney's animated films can be divided into Disney classics, Disney live-action animation, Disney clay animation, Disney model animation, Disney movie cartoon and Disney video premiere, among which classic animation has become the most important symbol of Disney. The first classic animation that created this situation was an animated feature film released in 1937, the famous Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This most classic Disney movie combines many glories. As the world's first full-length animated film with a plot, it is also the world's first animated film with a soundtrack, the world's first animated film shot with a multi-stage camera, and the world's first animated film with a grand premiere, and won the Oscar Special Achievement Award. It can be said that animated film is not only a form of children's entertainment, but also a mainstream film form. Since then, Disney has become the leader of animated films, leading the trend of animated films. After decades of development, Disney has rapidly developed from a small animation studio to a giant in the international entertainment industry and a world-renowned multinational company. In addition to movies, its sphere of influence has been extended to theme parks, toys, clothing, book publishing and other industries.

Disney's classic animation is produced by Disney's most representative Walter Disney Animation Studio. Especially in recent years, new dramas are released almost every year, so they are often called "animated blockbusters of the year" by some fans. In fact, it is not necessary to launch one every year. Most of the classic animations are feature films. Of course, there are also a few short and medium-sized animation collections or musicals and documentaries. Later, many works were adapted into Disney theme park parade, world of ice and snow and musicals, as well as sequels of TV programs and audio-visual products, such as videos and DVDs.

1956 "Japanese Animation" was founded in Japan at the beginning. Under the leadership of President Ookawa Hiroshi, all members turned a new page for Japanese animation industry.

1958, the first full-length color movie animation "Legend of the White Snake" was officially released in Japan. This is not only the first color animated film of "Oriental Animation", but also the most far-reaching animated film for Japanese animation in the future. It was also this year that Miyazaki Hayao, a senior high school student in Tokyo, watched the film. It was at this time that the teenager who usually doodles at home decided to enter the field of animation creation. A few years later, Miyazaki Hayao entered the work of "Oriental Animation" as he wished. His first work was Loyal Officials and the King of Tibetans, followed by Gulliver's Space Travel, and then The Adventures of Prince Sun-Horus made Miyazaki Hayao appreciated by the famous producer Takata, and his excellent works were constantly released, which laid a solid foundation for the establishment of Ghibli in the future.

When it comes to Japanese animation, we have to mention Osamu Tezuka, the god of Japanese animation. As one of the most dazzling stars of Dongying Animation, Osamu Tezuka had already published such well-known works as New Gold Island and Astro Boy, and Osamu Tezuka joined Dongying Animation shortly after its establishment. It was also at this time that the unwritten rule of "adapting popular comics into animation" officially appeared in the Japanese animation industry. At the same time, the new business model combined with animation makes Japanese animation more powerful.

After Osamu Tezuka, a new generation of Japanese animation master, Shotaro Ishinomori, the "father of masked superman", also joined Dongying Animation, and soon adapted his masterpiece "Artificial Man 009" into an animated film, winning the tears of countless audiences with the unique story that "Artificial Man has great power, but it can't recover the sadness of becoming an ordinary human being". The idea of "masked superman" has also taken shape? After 000 years, Japanese "Oriental Animation" recreated a series of "Artificial Man 009" to cater to the tastes of more young audiences, and added new ideas and production elements, which not only remembered the animation master, but also made the world have a deeper understanding of Shotaro Ishinomori, the father of masked superman.

Since its birth, Puss in Boots has been a treasure of "Oriental Animation", winning numerous reputations at home and abroad and becoming a classic of Japanese animated films. Today, the image of "cat in boots" appears most frequently on the website of "Toyo Animation". It can even be said that the image of "cat in boots" can already represent the logo of "Toyo Animation".

As early as the early 1980s, shortly after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, China began to introduce Japanese animated films, the first of which were "Oriental Animation" animated films "Dragon Son Taro" and "Swan Lake". Older people are familiar with these two animated films. It was at this time that Japanese animated films officially landed in the Chinese mainland market. Unfortunately, since the late 1980s, Japanese animated films have not been shown in Chinese mainland's films, which is a great pity. It was also at this time that the distance between Japanese animation and Chinese mainland gradually widened, resulting in the situation that Japanese animation dominates the world today.

Taro Ryoko is the first Japanese animated film introduced to Chinese mainland. I saw it when I was a child, and it was also the first animated film that made Chinese people cry. A Chun's mother's love for the protagonist Ryoko Taro, Ryoko Taro's eagerness to look for her mother everywhere, Ryoko Taro's kindness to the poor peasants, and Xiao Ai's hazy love for Ryoko Taro are intertwined, showing us the tragic side of the Japanese nation in the past and its unique national emotional world. In particular, the scene of Ah Chun giving her eyes to her grandmother surprised and delighted countless audiences. Ah Chun's love for Ryotaro's mother and son is vividly displayed here. Long before Miyazaki Hayao's A Farewell to Fireflies (the Tomb of Fireflies or Elegy of Fireflies), this animated film has won many China people's tears.

Japanese animated films that were later introduced and broadcast in Chinese mainland were all made by Oriental Animation, among which Daughter of the Sea (Mermaid Princess), Prince Bai Niao and Thumbelina made the brand of Oriental Animation more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At present, more than half of the best-selling Japanese animation (including movies and TV) audio-visual products in China are produced by "Dong Ying Animation". For example: One Piece, Digital Baby, Saint saint seiya Saint, etc.
