Allies of #Florida Gov. Ron #DeSantis and #Disney reached a settlement agreement Wednesday in a lawsuit over who controls Walt Disney World’s governing district.
Walt Disney's share price has dropped to its lowest level in nearly nine years as the company struggles in the age of streaming, causing concern among investors. Throughout its history, Disney has adapted to new technologies and challenges, from embracing sound and color in the early days to later embracing computer-generated...
#Disney shouldn’t be surprised most of their “tentpole” movies are not getting $1B this year. Their theme parks average 2 to 3 times in spend vs 5 years ago.
In #DisneyWorld theme parks, there are no theaters at all. Put 1 huge theater in each of the 4 parks (each running a new/recent release), built to handle - say - 400 ppl. Charge $15/ea person. During extremely hot days or rainy days it would sell out!!!
German #folklore is full of tales of evil, prideful nobles who were eventually punished for their sins.
So why is modern media - starting with #Disney , and moving on from there - so full of pro- #monarchy propaganda instead? Lots of "Just Kings", "Plucky Princesses", and so forth. Why is the implication in media nowadays that being exalted by the circumstances of your birth is likely to make you a good person? Instead of being totally oblivious to your own class privilege - and that's probably the best case!
I wonder if anyone has done any scientific research on all these "pro-monarchy" narratives in modern media, and how they came into existence.
Trailer new animated Disney film (releasing Thanksgiving weekend 2023) called Wish.
Not sure about animation style - and I predict it will 'fail' at the box office (for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the film itself) but oh my - from the trailer it feels like it was made for me and me alone.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Diversity, equity and inclusion programs were abolished Tuesday from Walt Disney World’s governing district, now controlled by appointees of Gov.

It appears the copy of Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End I purchased at a thrift store the other day is NOT the standard Disney version. 🤔
I'm curious if this is an authorized dub or not, I now realize the cover looks like it's color copied... and the video quality looks like it was filmed off a movie screen from the back seat of a theater.

Was rewatching Iron Man yesterday (doing a MCU rewatch) and thinking why couldn't we have had in the Disney Star Wars era a major cinematic event like what they did from Iron Man to Endgame / Infinity War.
Sadly, they couldn't even plan out and have foresight for the Sequel Trilogy and much less actually bring a Star Wars film to theaters since Episode IX without firing directors or them jumping ship🤔 🧐 😞.
BREAKING: #Disney kills billion dollar development plan in Florida
Disney Imagineering move to Florida from L.A. area has apparently been canceled, and team members already moved or planning to move are being offered opportunity to return to L.A. This will be very good news to most of these employees.
Bob Iger, CEO of Disney says Lucasfilm and Marvel studios will slowing down when it comes to tv and movies. And across the board in Disney "...spending less on what we make and spending less..."
So it is very likely some already announced Star Wars projects may never see the light of day due to refocusing. Already this year Disney has stated they will slash $5.5 billion in costs.
#DeSantis is destroying the economy and tourism in #Florida. Seriously, who wants to go to #Disney World when there are Nazis waving their flags in front of the entrance.
