    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    You can't please everyone is a song lyric and an enteral truth. Iger is a true fool for ever believing that he wouldn't be deliberately screwed by the Chinese. The Party is too corrupt to take at its word and you would literally have to turn over all profit to its minions in order to get a fair...

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    Buying up other companies can work if you personally as boss aren't the actual problem. If Disney bought Miracle Inc and Miracle Marv showed up with a brand new script from God to save the day, Iger would just have it sent to focus group hell and say that an unproven property is too big a risk...

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    Companies like Disney are where Companies like ILM go to die. There is no chance for a drone factory like Disney to innovate or drive them to come up with new things with an Iger in the lead. It just wouldn't make financial sense. Walt Disney had an idea, wanted to make animated films that blew...

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    Delusional seems kind of harsh for polite conversation, but okay whatever. You have seized on the minutia and completely missed the point. Moore's Law is in full swing on every aspect of motion picture production technique and equipment whether its 'real,' animation, rotoscope, claymation...

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    They have a bean counter in charge at Disney and all he can do is divide the money up. Disney of 2020 can't even make a 30 minute cartoon that anyone will laugh at. I can't imagine WTF they're thinking that all of us being threatened with imaginary viral death and all to real unemployment are...

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    I I wonder if they've thought this through. By abandoning their movie distribution chain they've effectively opened themselves to direct competition by anyone that can buy an animation program and find people to do the voices. Disney could get hammered by something like Wallace and Grommet done...

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    They weren't part of the modern equation. They wrote the equation and founded the feast. The only time Walt Disney was ever a follower was on the Western Front.

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    They are fundamentally followers. Look at the advertising in the fan magazines. El Cuervo and the like. Mexican hootch made from sewer water, shit and cactus, posed in fancy glasses with happy shiny racially diverse and oh so sophisticated people holding hands. Hollywood is 99.999 percent made...

    Culture Welcome to Dismal Disney.

    Disney started as a maker of cartoons in a homogeneous society, points of cultural continuity which people laughed at and the rest built up from that. Their fundamental issue is that they are facing a balkanized crowdscape that's been taught to despise the culture, is too woke to take a joke and...
