Bob Iger’s capitulation to Donald Trump and the FCC by firing Jimmy Kimmel has repercussions.
I, along with many others, have canceled my Disney/Hulu/ESPN subscription. One cancellation is not even a gnat’s fart in the wind. (Do gnats even fart?)
But thousands will make a difference. Millions could change the company.
Remember when Walt Disney stood for good? Me either. Because he didn’t. He actually condoned McCarthyism. Disney has always been a fascist company, apparently.
The Walt Disney Company: Ownership & Subsidiaries (September 2025, Updated)
Executive Summary
Disney has no parent company—it is independent and publicly traded.
It owns major studios (Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios), streaming platforms (Disney+, Hulu, Hotstar), and networks (ABC, FX, NatGeo, ESPN).
Disney also runs global theme parks & resorts, though not all are owned outright—some are joint ventures or licensed (notably Tokyo Disney Resort).
In 2025, Disney is consolidating streaming brands (phasing out Star, merging Hulu into Disney+) and restructuring linear TV channels.
Key Note on Japan
Tokyo Disney Resort is unique:
Owned/operated by Oriental Land Company.
Disney supplies creative design, characters, and branding.
Disney collects licensing fees and royalties, but has no equity ownership.
