Disney Telenovelas
Not only is Disney dominating in America, it is dominating in Spanish speaking countries as well. Our shows gain popularity in other countries; we know that. Merchandise with images of our characters sell just as well in other places as it does here but Disney has began taking steps to even further their success with these tween show plots. Taking American produced shows and re-scripting and re-shooting them for the spanish speaking countries allows them to be formatted more directly for their culture and location. This is also being done in France and Germany.
In terms of
GLOBALIZATION - This is connecting us in a way that we recognize the same plots, and characters. It can bring demographics of people together by similar interest even though they are from different language speaking countries
I think the biggest concern with this is obviously Media Giants. We have a limited number of players in the US, but if Disney can pick up speed even faster and farther than before than they will gain companies along the way continuing to further dominance. I like Disney, but if they continue to gain dominance then not only will we feel the monopoly, other countries will too.
