Hold onto your ears: Disney owns everything that makes you feel nostalgic and broke. We’re talking Marvel, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, National Geographic, and a controlling interest in Hulu. ABC is just the cherry on top of a corporate sundae that’s too big for any one stomach.
If you watched The Simpsons as a kid, Disney owns that too now. That means Homer Simpson is technically employed by the same company that makes princess costumes. D’oh!
Why This Matters at Your Next Dinner Party
Bringing up “Disney owning ABC” is like bringing up pineapple on pizza: half the table will groan, but you’ll sound like a genius. Just remember: Disney owns ABC, not the other way around. If someone argues, ask them if they think a mouse can control a network. The answer is yes—and he’s very rich.
