I would argue that Disney is definitily a big IT company and relies a lot on that tech.
Perfect storytelling might need flaweless execution to not distract. cirque du soleil for example are also experts in every single aspect relevant to their show/business. Check out the YT video from their sound manager " Inside the Sound of Cirque du Soleil: Drawn to Life" this is so crazy but it explains so much especially how they control the audiance clapping.
For me, being an "IT Company" or "Tech Company" means the tech is what drives the business decisions.
Where I work, it's a b2b service company. We've had CIOs get up and say we're a tech company, but when push comes to shove, the IT org always loses to "the business". The business solutions are what are being sold, they really don't care what the tech is under the hood... even if the tech enables every product to exist at this point.
