Thats completely false. Only a child would draw this conclusion, come on man, be better. Disney movies are rebounding in 2023 after a few down years. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/disney-box-office-billion-dollar-mark-avatar-2-1235528694/ And the prospects look good. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/18/disney-shares-set-to-rise-30percent-on-strong-film-slate-deutsche-bank-says.html The layoffs are a response to operating costs, not lack of revenue from 2 movies. https://www.npr.org/2023/03/29/1166719634/disney-plans-to-cut-3-of-the-entertainment-giant-s-total-global-workforce Disney is restructuring to reduce costs in an effort to boost shareholder value.

Not sure, I take them at their word. They can likely point to a myriad of factors, there is usually not a "silver bullet", perhaps Bud Light being a counter point to that assertion. If they speak to their own failure and do so in the way they did, I will take them at their word. If you object to their representation, that is between you and them.

The Real timschochet 6,446 Posted December 5, 2023 My plot for the next Disney Princess movie: Prince Larry lives in the castle; he is unhappy but doesn’t know why. The kingdom is cursed with endless winter; the legends say that only a new princess will bring about spring. Larry’s parents have tried to get him to marry but he doesn’t seem interested. But a princess is needed. Then Larry gets an idea: he doesn’t need to marry; he can become a princess himself! So begins an adventure in which Larry must find the wizard who will change him into a princess. But will the evil forces stop him? What do you guys think? We’ll have catchy songs, and Larry will have a cute animal sidekick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I object to the presentation of the remarks by the news sources that were shared. The headlines make it solely that "Disney admits woke hurt." That isn't what they said and the headlines are misleading and try to appeal to one side of an argument in a manipulative manner. I'm saying- if we want to call out media we should call it out in all manners and not just when it is convenient. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prince Larry can be Dwayne Johnson, the cute animal sidekick can be a gerbil in black fetish leather played by Dylan Mulvaney, and the wizard can be Rachel Levine dressed up as a hairy winged fairy. The castle towers can all look like phalluses and the wizard's cave can be an enormous butthole . Along the way Price Larry meets a BIPOC little girl princess who denounces the patriarchy as he steals her crown, distract a mermaid princess by dumping oil in her underwater paradise and steal her giant pearl, and discovers the only way to meet the wizard is to enter and win a girls-only bicycle race.

Hardcore troubadour 14,954 Posted February 1, 2024 On 5/3/2023 at 6:21 AM, GutterBoy said: The battle between Disney and Ron DeSantis is taking a pretty hilarious turn, as the former uses the governor’s own memoir against him in their recent lawsuit. https://news.yahoo.com/oop-ron-desantiss-own-memoir-135142039.html “One of the most damning of all. Ron DeSantis blatantly hinting that the new Reedy Creek board would try to exert control over content produced by Disney.” The possibility that the governor’s own desperation to pander to a rightwing base could backfire in such a practical way has become a source of amusement on social media after watching this all play out so transparently for the past year. “It's going to be hard for DeSantis to claim that he was misquoted in his own memoir. Or that the quotes are taken out of context given how clearly they lay out that his actions were punishment against Disney speaking out against a bill. He's hosed.” Yup, it’s hilarious! Lol.
