Disney Animation Studios has a reputation for classic movies, from the 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to the highest-grossing animated film of all time, The Lion King, in 1994 (“Box Office Mojo”), to Wreck-It Ralph’s current success. Animation studios are an example of an oligopoly in their market structure. Disney Animation Studios has some major competition. The other firms competing with Disney are Pixar, DreamWorks, Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, and Studio Ghibli. Pixar is probably Disney Animation Studio’s greatest rival, though they are both owned by Walt Disney Studios, which is in turn a part of the Walt Disney Company (“Walt Disney Company”).
Then, along came "The Wizard of Oz." Needless to say, audiences were not only stirred by the terrific story, but they were also dazzled by the film's special effects. The special effects are glorious in that old Hollywood way, in which you don't even have to look closely to see where the set ends and the backdrop begins. Almost all films were still being made in black and white, so the switch from black and white to color would have had a special significance in 1939 when the movie was made. "The Wizard of Oz" was a major achievement when you consider that it was filmed nearly three-quarters of a century ago.

When I chose to study Charlie Chaplin I had already learned a good amount of information about his life and career from movies I had seen prior, and articles I had read. However, after watching the movie Chaplin, I already have a greater respect than before for the artist that is Charlie Chaplin. In my life I have been exposed to more Will Ferrell than Charlie Chaplin. So, while I always knew that Charlie Chaplin was one of the greats (arguably the greatest), I did not truly understand all of the hype. When I thought of Charlie Chaplin I imagined the Tramp, but nothing more.
