While the majority of Disney’s television series and films are geared at children and adolescents, the company’s cruises, parks, and tours have a large range of activities for adults. Disney Channel features primarily programming for extremely young children and adolescents. However, the holiday sites are far more family-friendly and offer activities for people of all ages.
Walt Disney created Disney in 1923 as a mass media conglomerate. It began as an animation firm during the age of silent black-and-white films, but later the cartoons began to incorporate symphonic music and vivid colours. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney’s first feature-length animated picture, was produced in 1937, marking the beginning of a succession of innovative animated film productions.
As a result of its success in the animated film industry, Disney has expanded to encompass live-action television shows and films, a music record label, theme parks, and cruises. It continues to produce successful family-friendly television shows, films, and productions, and is the second largest mass media organisation in existence. The parks and cruises also cater to adults with adult-only entertainment, bars, clubs, and other age-restricted activities, although the shows and films are mostly geared towards children and adolescents. Disney’s target market is comprised of people of all ages, despite the company’s young focus.
