How Disney Turned Nostalgia into a Money-Making Machine
Disney doesn’t just sell entertainment—it sells your childhood back to you, at a premium.
The Lion King. Aladdin. Beauty and the Beast. Each remade into live-action blockbusters. Why? Because nostalgia is one of the most profitable emotions.
When people feel emotionally connected, they spend more—and Disney multiplies that across movies, parks, merch, and streaming. One feeling, endless revenue streams.
The money lesson? Emotions drive decisions. Products solve needs, but fortunes are built on feelings. Create resonance, and the money follows.
Good Morning, Money.
