Relationships

Disney and McDonalds go together like Sprite and MTV. They are both co-dependent on each other. When Disney comes out with a new movie McDonalds comes out with a figure to go with it for kids. In some McDonald's resturants they have a mini "Disney Land" for kids to play in and dream of bigger and better things such as going to Disney Land. Disney and McDonalds came up together and became known world wide.
