Disneyland, especially
Some people will say, "Have you ever been to Disney?" "I want tickets for Disney", in which Disney means Disney theme park, and among all the theme parks, California Disneyland is the most specifically mentioned. Generally, only China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) will use this specific method.
Disneyland is a theme park. The so-called theme park is everything in the park, from environmental layout to entertainment facilities, which focuses on one or several specific themes. There are four Disneyland parks in the world, located in Florida and Southern California, Tokyo, Japan and Paris, France.
Theme parks can be said to be Disney's cash cow. Last year, the revenue of departments alone accounted for 27% of the total sales-25.4 billion dollars, and the profit was 3.2 billion dollars, which was half of the total profit.

About the Chinese name of Disney
This is one of the most frequently asked questions. You must often see "Disney" and "Disney". But what is the difference between them?
Before 1995, Disney names in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan Province were translated differently according to the pronunciation of local languages. Here is a list
Mainland: Disney-Disney, Walt Disney-Walt Disney
Hong Kong: Disney-Disney, Walt Disney-and Lu Disney
Taiwan Province: Disney-Disney, Walt Disney-Walt Disney
But in 1995, Disney Company decided to use the name "Disney" in China after serious discussions in order to unify the market in China. That is, the following
unified official Chinese names: Disney-Disney, Walt Disney-Walt Disney
I still remember that it was in the notice column of Mickey Mouse magazine in the fifth issue of 1995 (the cover was blue and the character was Donald Duck), and an article called "Changing the name of Disney" was first published to the general public. (For example, the slogan "The original Disney cartoon" on the cover was originally "Disney"). We really applaud this behavior!
But unfortunately, due to various reasons, the name "Disney" has not been popularized in mainland China as it should be in Taiwan Province. For example, most media, including TV newspapers, still use "Disney" a lot, and this entry has not been revised in the authoritative dictionary of language in China, and even a few official products use the name "Disney" which is no longer an official translation.
But the fact that Disney is the real official Chinese name cannot be changed. For example, you can see that Disney.com.cn, genuine Disney DVDs and books all use Disney.
So as real Disney fans, let's use the official name "Disney" in the future!

Disney cartoons:
Disney animated films can be divided into Disney CLASSICS, Disney Live Action with Animation, Disney Claymation Animation, Disney model animation, Disney movie cartoons and Disney Video Premiere, among which the classic animation has become the most important symbol of Disney. The first classic animation to create this situation is the animated feature film released in 1937, the famous Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This most classic Disney movie combines many glories. As the world's first full-length animated film with a plot, it is also the world's first release of movie soundtrack, the world's first animated film shot with a multi-level camera, and the world's first animated film with a grand premiere, and won the Oscar for Special Achievement. It can be said that animated film is not only a form of children's entertainment, but also a mainstream film form. Since then, Disney Company has become the leader of animated films, leading the trend of animated films. After decades of development, Disney has rapidly expanded from a small animation studio to a giant in the international entertainment industry and a multinational company with global fame. In addition to movies, its sphere of influence has expanded to theme parks, toys, clothing, books and periodicals publishing and other industries.
Disney's classic animations are produced by Walt Disney animation Studios, the most representative of Disney.

Most of the classic animations are mainly feature films. Of course, there are also a few short and medium-sized animation collections or musicals and documentaries. Later, many works were adapted into the forms of parade performances in Disney theme parks, ice worlds and musicals, and some later released TV programs and sequels of audio-visual products such as videos and DVDs.
