- Walt Disney's timing to embrace TV was impeccable. Right as adoption skyrocketed in 1954. Very contrarian too since most Hollywood studios were scared of TV stealing audience. He also maximized the impact since his TV show was essentially a giant commercial for Disneyland.Americans used to go to movie theaters 46 times per year — until the birth of television.
- Sharing some of the photos from our research trip to Disney to prep for this @AcquiredFM episode. Here's @djrosent in his most natural habitat, pouring over 70-year-old annual reports :) (Note the original Haunted Mansion figures in the background)
