Disney in China Isn’t Mickey Mouse

What once looked like a bold Frontierland is now starting to become a promising Fantasyland for Walt Disney Co.

Its Shanghai Disney Resort hit 11 million visitors in its first year, company chairman and CEO Bob Iger told Bloomberg's Rachel Chang and Tom Mackenzie last week. That should be a relief to Iger and his shareholders since success for the park, which opened in June last year, was never guaranteed despite all the hype.

The resort's Hong Kong sibling suffered a 10 percent drop in attendance last year to 6.1 million people, according to the Themed Entertainment Association.  But data from the industry group indicate the problem may be less about brand and more about location, considering visitors to Hong Kong's Ocean Park dropped 18.8 percent over the same period.

Some analysts have questioned whether China is building too many theme parks. It's not an unreasonable concern given the sector's boom and bust in the 1990s. A look at Japan, where the economy has been treading water for two decades, should serve as a positive sign both for Disney and Comcast Corp., which expects to open Universal Studios Beijing in 2020.

Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Japan (in Osaka) and Tokyo DisneySea not only remain the top three parks in Asia, but were topped by just two globally last year: Disney's Magic Kingdom in Florida and Disneyland in California. If an aging population and floundering economy can continue to support three huge parks in Japan, then there's reason to believe China's appetite will be larger.

Iger should be happy for another reason. China restricts the number of Hollywood films it allows into the country to just 34 per year and lets the U.S. studios keep just 25 percent of the box office, according to accounting firm PwC. This means that no matter how many hits like it churns out, Disney has to compete for access and distribution in China, and then enjoys only limited upside.

Movies instead will increasingly become a marketing tool for where the real money lies: theme parks and product licensing. Disney already makes more revenue and profit from its parks and resorts than from studio entertainment. Though the studio unit has a better operating margin than theme parks, even fatter profits come from consumer products.

The risk for Disney and Comcast will come from Chinese entrants. Dalian Wanda Group Co. is planning 15 parks by 2020 and Shimao Property Holdings Ltd. wants to open eight by 2019, according to real estate firm Colliers International Group Inc. Wanda in particular, whose billionaire owner Wang Jianlin has jeered at Disney, shouldn't be underestimated: It's now the largest operator of movie theaters globally and also owns Hollywood studio Legendary Entertainment.

This home ground advantage helps the locals, but the Chinese still don't have Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, Captain Jack Sparrow or Luke Skywalker.

This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Bloomberg LP and its owners.

    Disney planning sculpture in memory 2-year-old boy who was killed by alligator

    Nearly a year after tragedy struck at one of its lakeside resorts, Disney World has announced plans to erect a statue in honor of the young boy who was killed by an alligator at their Grand Floridian hotel last summer.

    On June 14, 2016, 2-year-old Lane Thomas Graves of Nebraska was playing near the resorts Seven Seas Lagoon with parents Matt and Melissa Graves, as well as his 4-year-old sister, when he was dragged into the water by an alligator. His father jumped in after Lane in an attempt to pry the boy from the gators jaws, though he was ultimately unsuccessful.

    5 MAJOR CHANGES COMING TO DISNEY WORLD THIS YEAR

    Lanes body was recovered by dive teams the day after the alligator attack. His cause of death was cited as drowning and traumatic injuries.

    Now, a year later, Disney has confirmed plans to install a lighthouse sculpture in Lanes memory somewhere on the park grounds, although the exact location of the sculpture has yet to be revealed.

    The sculpture will also serve as a symbol of the Lane Thomas Foundation a charitable organization established by Lanes family following their horrific tragedy which too uses a lighthouse as its logo.

    “The foundation is dedicated to supporting families of children needing life-saving organ transplants,” Walt Disney World Resort president George A. Kalogridis said in a statement on Tuesday. “To provide continued awareness of the foundation and its mission, we’ve commissioned an original sculpture of the lighthouse the foundation uses as a symbol of love and hope, to be installed on our property this summer.”

    ‘TANGLED’ STAR CLAIMS DISNEY WORLD TURKEY LEGS AREN’T WHAT THEY CLAIMS TO BE

    Following Lanes death, Disney World officials were criticized for their failure to provide proper warning signage along the lagoon. According to reports, Disney World had posted no swimming signs, but nothing warning of alligators, save for one at a nearby pond at the property.

    Disney World later announced plans to install proper warning signs for gators.

    Just weeks prior to Lanes incident, a British family also claims they had were forced to flee from an alligator at that very lagoon. In their case, however, the alligator presumably returned to the water after giving brief chase.

    A representative for Disney World was not immediately available for comment.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    By day, Brian Kesinger is a story artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios and by night he’s an author and illustrator of Walking Your Octopus. Kesinger masterfully blends the Disney world with the steampunk universe and imagines exciting adventures of a very unlikely friendship.

    The main characters of these wonderful adventures are Victoria and her per octopus, Otto. “Everyone can relate to having a pet,” Kesinger says. “What I wanted to do with Otto and Victoria is to ask the question ‘What if your pet was an octopus?’ As soon as you do that you start to raise humorous scenarios like how hard would it be to housebreak an octopus when they’re inking everywhere.”

    From a relaxing tea party on a boat to lighting the candles for the evening, Victoria does everything with her domesticated cephalopod. Scroll down to enjoy Brian’s stories and don’t forget to vote for your favorite ones!
