Media Franchise
A media franchise, also known as a multimedia franchise, is a collection of related media in which several derivative works have been produced from an original creative work of fiction, such as a film, a work of literature, a television program, or a video game. Bob Iger, chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, defined the word ''franchise'' as "something that creates value across multiple businesses and across multiple territories over a long period of time." Transmedia franchise A media franchise often consists of cross-marketing across more than one medium.

She always has time to relax and worry about her looks, because her car is like a beauty parlor.

Peter Perfect had a crush on her, a feeling that was returned, and always tried to help her; in "Dash to Delaware", they almost en ...
