TIME also mentioned that the U.S. media and entertainment industry is the largest in the world, with Disney taking the top spot among other media and entertainment companies. ESPN, which is owned by Disney, came in at #28 on the list.

“For over a century, Disney has been woven into the American story, with beloved characters and timeless tales that have brought magic, joy and wonder to generations,” Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, said. “Walt Disney’s enduring vision for this great company remains our inspiration, shaping the creativity, curiosity and innovation that fuel our storytelling today. The dreams Walt envisioned for Disney continue to grow, taking us into the future and pushing the boundaries of what is possible for generations to come.”

TIME called the list “a comprehensive analysis that seeks to identify entities that have not only achieved commercial success but have also become deeply ingrained in the American identity, shaping perceptions, habits, and aspirations.”
