Yip and Hult (2012) define globalization as a business operating in all four hemispheres. There is no question that Steam Boat Willie, the original 1928 Mickey Mouse and the original Disney character, has expanded the Disney Company into a global business. As Disney pursued global expansion, there were a lot of variables to contend with. In order to operate in any foreign environment, competition must be frequently analyzed. Additionally, adaptions often need to be made in order to compete and to meet the needs and wants of consumers in the local culture. Disney has become one of the most recognizable globalized companies in the world through theme parks, cartoons, movies, and merchandising in foreign markets.
Oligopoly is a market structure whereby a few number of firms owns a lion’s share in the market. This market structure is similar to monopoly, except that instead of one firm, two or more firms have control in the market.

Cultures are spread through globalisation through knowledge, ideas, clothing, beliefs, values, languages, food and movies. When contact occurs between cultures, all ideas are spread and transferred which has become easier nowadays than in the past because fewer people were to able to travel and experience the rest of the world. Disney, Disney princesses especially, has had a big impact on the spread of cultures from Saudi Arabia 's Aladdin to Germany 's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to China 's Mulan.

Their movies have also given children a way to apprehend various styles of cultures. These are some examples:

No matter what part of the word you are in, the word “Disney” would probably be recognized by anyone. Why? Because Disney’s influence spans globally. From theme parks, to television networks, to movies, to Broadway shows, it is clear that Disney is “the” multi-media conglomerate. So, when Disney recently announced its intention to purchase 21st Century, a well-known mass media cooperation, it is no surprise that people reacted strongly. However, reactions seemed to be split. Some people were excited, expressing how Disney’s newly acquired rights to projects such as X-Men and the Fantastic Four could really enrich the film industry, while others were concerned with Disney’s growing influence on all things media.

With Disney and Pixar together ranks among the best acquisitions of all time. Analyst believed that Disney needed this acquisition since its own animations were failing one after another. With acquisition of Pixar Disney not only got access to the Pixar technology but

Disney has been a worldwide phenomenon in terms of creating entertainment for kids and even older adults. Disney has been able to expand and grow its franchises and create new franchises that are capable of become world-wide hits.
