The Walt Disney Company earns about one-fifth of its revenues overseas - some $4.3 billion in fiscal 2001. A snapshot of the five divisions that make up the Magic Kingdom:
__MEDIA NETWORKS __
OVERVIEW ABC-TV and cable networks like the Disney Channel and ESPN. Broadcast network is struggling with ad downturn and burnout of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
OVERSEAS Recent acquisition of Fox Family Network gives cable group a big international boost.
NEXT Deal with China's CCTV will bring Disney cartoons to 225 million households.
__PARKS AND RESORTS __
OVERVIEW Signature theme parks in Florida and California, and cruise ships, too. A profit machine, but post-9/11 tourism slump hurts.
OVERSEAS Disneyland Paris plus two parks in Tokyo.
NEXT Disney Studios Paris to open in March, Hong Kong park in 2005; rumor mills suggest Shanghai, Delhi may follow.
__CONSUMER PRODUCTS __
OVERVIEW Toys, dolls, clothes, books, videogames, and chain of Disney stores. Monsters Inc. may help revive slumping sales.
OVERSEAS More than half of the division's revenue comes from outside the US, but growth has slowed in recent years.
NEXT Disney cereal (with Kellogg) and beverages (with Coke) - but only in the US for now.
__STUDIO ENTERTAINMENT __
OVERVIEW Animated and family films under the Disney label, grown-up fare under Touchstone, Miramax, and Hollywood Pictures. Strong performer in volatile business.
OVERSEAS Animated films score big overseas, as did last year's Pearl Harbor.
NEXT Monsters Inc. hits international screens this year.
__INTERNET __
OVERVIEW Separately traded Net unit, built via large acquisitions, folded back in last year following Net bust.
OVERSEAS Custom sites in 20 countries, mostly providing information and promotion for other Disney units.
NEXT High hopes for wireless services like downloading cartoon characters to cell phones, which has proved popular and profitable in Japan.
