Discuss how the economic environment in the US culture was changing. How did the changes affect the toy industry and Gilbert? There was a higher demand for low cost, low quality toys that A.C. Gilbert couldn’t compete, until the point where the company introduced 50 new toys for different age groups and toys for girls and preschool children. Although the company tried to change and adapt to the rapidly changing industry, their low quality toys hurt the company a lot, because of the high return rate on some of the poorly built toys. 5.
If the majority of the population finds the script of a film to be unclear and hard to understand then they will give their friends that feedback and so people won’t go to see the film, which is especially bad for a mainstream film as they cost millions to produce and rely on commercial success. Also a simple storyline and straight-forward dialogue helps when translating the film for foreign markets thus increasing its commercial success. A good film script can make a new film successful as more people will go and watch it if they have heard good reviews from critics or their friends and family. However, there are many other factors apart from just having a good film script that can determine whether a mainstream film will gain the desired commercial success. The producers want the film to appeal to a mass market so that they can get mass audiences to go see their film.
The park was more “Americanized” and had little to do with European culture. “They called the park an American cultural abomination.” (Hartley, 141) There were also three other amusement parks in the area that had failed and gone bankrupt. Being the monopoly that they are, they thought they were better than everyone else and were able to do more and get more people attracted the the park. They thought about the American version of Disney with little consideration of how the Europeans feelings/considerations. Unfortunately this was not the case, sales were down and the number of people were down based on the recession in the area.
However, Motel 6 has some disadvantages. The first thing is its security, it’s lax and causes Motel 6 lost money and reputation. Second, the motel rooms are old style, and Motel 6 doesn’t do a lot of promotion and advertising, so it’s hard to attract new customers. The Third, Motel 6 does not only face to the slowdown economy environment and the downturn in hotel industry, but also face to a lot of competitors, some of them are exiting the market, and some of them are the same as Motel 6 and trying to enter the extended-stay market. The model of franchising allowed Motel 6 to expand quickly, primarily throughout the Eastern United States, to maximize name recognition and invade new markets, to reenter the market that it formerly ceded, and franchising will not cost the company a lot.
A movie does not have to be good in order to catapult talent it just have to be interesting. It may awfully compare to other films released on the same date, but it the film catches your attention it may become more than just mare scenes put together. This movie is one example of how a low finance movie can do marvelous things for the careers of those involve in the movies.

Disney had believed that if they built a large, glamorous park in the style of American parks, the European tourists would flock to it to get their slice of American culture. This was not the case, because not only did the French people have their own beloved cartoon characters that were more popular than Disney characters, but the French, who were expected to make up 50% of park attendance, were insulted by the ads focusing on size and ostentatiousness rather
1. Using the Porter’s framework, we will examine the general and industry environment. Threat of New Entrants (SIC 3861) is low due to expensive and specialized equipment, patents on technology and equipment, great customer service and technical support; (SIC 7812) is low due to high costs to make films although educational and documentary films tend to be less expensive; (SIC 7822) is low as IMAX has long term contracts in place with current venues. Buyer Power (SIC 7812) is high as there are many companies that produce quality films and movies; (SIC 3861) is medium due to the many cinema companies although there is no real alternative to IMAX. Supplier Power (SIC 3861) is low.
IMAX is a brand so they don’t have to pay the same kind of talent that Hollywood has to pay which is really a high percentage of the costs. IMAX films are often educational and entertaining and involve documentaries of natural and scientific wonders. The weaknesses for IMAX include expensive production, it is smaller compare to Hollywood studio, and long term debt. Because of its larger size, printing and distributing, IMAX films are costlier than 35 mm films. IMAX films faced competition from other films produced by studio such as Pixar/Disney that are targeted for families.

Nothing can tell us more about the show then the costumes that the actors are wearing,if the costumes are fancy then the show likely had a decent budget, costumes tells us more about the production we are seeing. If an actor does not fit the characters or the costumes vibe then the audience will lose interest in the play.
Don’t Judge a Book by its Movie American society has become overwhelmed with the visual media, and often this media overshadows the classical paper books. The metaphorical phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” is well known by most Americans; given our technological age, perhaps now we should think of it as “don’t judge a book by its movie.” When novels go through the process of being made into a motion picture the novel tends to be changed to better accommodate the actors or the audience. Sometimes this can be very effective; but occasionally writing movies originally from books can also be destructive to the author’s original ideas and purposes. The film Field of Dreams, produced by Universal Pictures, is based on the novel Shoeless Joe written by W.P. Kinsella.
