Disney is the largest producer and acquirer of entertainment on earth, and the scale of their stewardship of so much of the world's popular culture is staggering. The company has come a long way from Walt's day and is now effectively the little mouse that roared. I thought it might be interesting to entwine Disney's ownership of many different entities over the years together to create a list of their top 100 releases ranked by global theatrical box office. Of the 49 films to ever cross $1 billion worldwide, their library encompasses 30 of them, and they also own all 5 of the top films of all-time (as of 3/10/21).
Mickey, Marvel and Main Street are all uniquely recognizable cultural benchmarks, but there's much more to the proverbial "house of mouse" than the obvious. So please remain seated, keeping your hands, arms, feet and legs inside your screen at all times! Away we go...
