When did the IP idea really start?

[DanielBB8]

Disney churns out new franchises faster than anyone else. It also digs out dormant franchises for another airing like The Incredibles. Unlikely to ever be tired of Disney.

You missed the entire point.

Disney wants to build what they want, not what the guests want. They pretend to pass off their decisions as something guests want in the form of surveys. That’s the ultimate point. You can choose to believe it or not choose to.

I think we can stop with creating bogus survey conspiracies to cry about what you don’t want in a theme park.

How was The Incredibles a franchise when it only had one film?

Merchandising.

Merchandising.

Disney merchandises all their movies...so wouldn't that mean all movies are franchises?

OK, sorry my bad. Shouldn't have expected you to defend your claims with a simple question.

Disney wants them to all be franchises...

Obviously. YES. I shouldn’t have to spell it out in minute detail.

Coco is a franchise with one movie with heavy theme park presence. The princess movies are franchises.

And some actually are.

You don't have to spell anything out. We just have different views on what makes a movie a "franchise".

Chill.

You know what I will stop doing? Going back and forth with you, since I find it a waste of my time. I almost forgot from the last time, but I remember now.

Peace.

I know we don't see eye-to-eye on alot, but on this I agree. I ignored him a long time ago after our back and forth on the parking garage thread months ago. I only "unhide" his posts when one of you reply to him.

There are several definitions, but this one fits.

“A franchise is the license to make or sell a product under certain conditions granted by the owner of these rights”

It’s about selling stuff separately from the movie, but also the movie itself.

I don’t know what wrong with seeing what I wrote. It’s quite benign.

 

[DanielBB8]

You certainly don’t know what it means. So when a theme park sells you Coco in the park, it’s not a franchise?

No...its merchandise.

I don’t recall that discussion, but I definitely can believe you were frustrated.

Let us not waste either of our time, and if you catch me attempting to argue again, call me out on it!

Here's the definition I'm working with.
Funny enough, when you type in the top 10 most successful film franchises, you get stuff like Marvel, Star Wars, Batman, Spiderman etc. All movies that are part of a series. Not singular films.
