Is Disney a Monopoly yet?
is it?
shareHell when was it not?
shareBy definition it isn't. It's an oligopoly. And companies may be a bit more stable nowadays, but I think Disney is far from untouchable
shareBreaking that word down, as much as I can, being tired and a bit buzzed, - it sounds sinister. At least by today's standards and definitions.
Once upon a time the feds would actually use their rights to break up dangerously powerful monopolies but the greed and corruption in our government, from top to bottom, could very possibly have weakened their ability to do so past the point of no return. I'm afraid these "high class" (what a damn joke) white collar politician/criminals have finally managed to figuratively shoot themselves in the damn face.
Pray for these stupendously massive companies, corporations, whatever to be taken apart by whatever means necessary and available.
I'm afraid that for some it might even have to involve the national guard. I'm not exaggerating.
I was just going to ask the same thing too..
shareAs long as it hasn't aquired the rights of Minions. Minions is the only IP powerful enough to go head-to-head with The House of Mickey. The time Minions get bought by Disney is the time Disney becomes a monopoly.
sharewhat about Shrek?
shareShrek is dormant. Also Shrek looks terrible, not many people want to wear clothes / bags or collecting ugly green ogres and donkey toys. Minions and Mickey Mouse, on the other hand looks good. They are like on different level.
shareWhat about Spongebob?
shareSpongebob is quite popular but not on the same level as Minions and Disney's properties.
Minions series of movies has grossed a total of more than $3.7 billion, with an average of over $927 million per film, making it the highest-grossing animated film franchise of all time. OF. ALL. TIME.
Spongebob can't touch this.
No, but it's becoming pretty damned close.
