- One of the largest media and entertainment corporations in the world.
- Founded on October 16, 1923 by brothers Walt and Roy Disney as a small animation studio, today it is one of the largest Hollywood studios and also owns nine theme parks and several television networks, including ABC.
- Disney's business interests include Miramax films as well as other film houses and television stations like ABC the Disney ideals have to stay separate from association with these other companies as many of them directly clash with Disney.
- Miramax is best known for producing films like Quentin Tarantino's 2003 gore fest 'Kill Bill'.
- Disney's family values mean that films like 'Kill Bill' would never be made with an attachment for Disney.
- It makes good business sense to keep their distance from such movies even though they are directly responsible for them.
