December 1999
Walt and Roy Disney began their partnership on October 16, 1923 when they signed a contract to produce the
Alice
Comedies
, a series of six- to eight-minute animated films, or "shorts," combining live-action and animation. What
began as the Disney Brothers Studio evolved into The Walt Disney Company.
Throughout the decades, the company has expanded worldwide from shorts to feature-length animated and live-action
films and television production; character merchandise licensing; consumer products retailing; book, magazine and
music publishing; Internet activities; television and radio broadcasting; cable television programming; and the
operation of theme parks and resorts.
From the creation of
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
in 1927 and the debut of Mickey Mouse in 1928 to the premiere of
Tarzan
in 1999, animation has remained the defining signature of the company. Along the way, Disney has added
successful TV shows like
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
, opened theme parks in California, Florida, France and Japan,
launched more than 700 Disney Stores and added brands such as Touchstone, Miramax, ABC and ESPN to the fold.
Fiscal 1999 marked the first year the Disney Fact Book was published exclusively on the Disney Investor Relations Web
site at
www.disney.go.com/investors
, making it instantaneously available to interested investors. Making the Fact Book
and uses a communication medium that Disney is taking on full-force: the Internet. In November 1999, Disney and
Infoseek combined their Internet assets into one entity, GO.com, creating a focal point for all of Disney's Internet
activities and also giving Disney the flexibility required to compete effectively with its Internet peers.
The company also introduced a new financial reporting structure designed to provide investors with a better
understanding of the dynamics of Disney鈥檚 business and the value of Disney鈥檚 assets. Instead of three operating
segments, Disney now reports along five lines of business, which can be seen throughout this year鈥檚 Fact Book. Theme
Parks and Resorts is reported as before. Broadcasting is now referred to as Media Networks, with a further breakdown
separating cable networks from broadcast-related businesses. Creative Content is now reported in three parts 鈥 Studio
Entertainment, Consumer Products and Internet and Direct Marketing. After the fiscal year end, the Internet and Direct
Marketing division combined with Infoseek to become Disney鈥檚 Internet business, GO.com, as mentioned above.
Disney remains committed to its overriding objective of creating shareholder value by continuing to be the world鈥檚
premier entertainment company from a creative, strategic and financial standpoint. The company strives to maintain
and build upon the integrity of the Disney name and franchise, while preserving and fostering the fundamental values
of quality, imagination and guest service.
Thank you for your interest in The Walt Disney Company.
