The problem is that other companies could purchase parts of disney. And not only the locals like Universal or the like, they could be purchased by a company like Tencent or a Middle Eastern investment fund. Next thing you notice ABC stands for Al-Arabiya Broadcast Company and Disney world becomes the World of Warcraft Land or something as stupid as that.
@@Deriv44 stock price represents the emotions of rich people. It doesn't actually reflect the value of the company. If the rich people wanted him on the board and were disappointed that will show up in the stock price. But their emotions will change.
Disney over pays for subpar talent that produces movies no one wants to see. A receipt for a failure. Disney will continue to fail until they return to making quality content people want to see.
That's right. It's just terrible sequels of older stuff complete with some woke message jammed in there. In Moama they wanted to make the character thin because it was thought BY WHITE AMERICANS that it was somehow offensive to have him fat. The pacific islanders fired RIGHT UP saying its realistic to their race and ridiculous to change it. They're damn big people, I've worked with plenty.
It's also true that when they have a good movie they fail to promote it. Pixar has still been producing some decent original movies - coming out of the pandemic they gave Pixar the straight to streaming treatment. For example Soul should have had better promotion and been released to theaters.
@@SpottedHares when most people complain about "woke" in media it ain't about women or non-white characters. It's about ham fisted dialogue, preachy messaging, tokenism and overall poor writing quality. If you really think the problem people have is women and non-white characters. Ask yourself why films like Blade, black protagonist, and Alien, female protagonist, are beloved by many of the same people complaining about "woke" movies.
There's always some genius who thinks they know what movie viewers want. As legendary screenwriter William Goldman said "nobody knows anything" -- you pay creative people you believe in, then you pray -- that's the movie biz.
I think you nailed the problem. Disney hired a bunch of "creatives" based on their ideology, not their creativity and are paying the price and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. They've created one quasi-successful IP in the past 10 years (Moana) and absolutely butchered 10x as many existing properties.
@@sandran17 We're talking about Disney at the particular moment and as the video states, they don't do anything without spending $200,000,000. So blaming it on them being "cheap" ain't it.
I know what movie viewers want and they want the classic Hollywood Studio System of the Great Depression and WWII which will be coming back after Disney and the media giants get broken up under antitrust and the major studios are handed back to the families of those great movie moguls like Harry Cohn, the Warners, and the great Louis B. Mayer. Movie stars will be contracted to only one studio at a time again and MGM will once again reign with "more stars than there are in the heavens" as the dream factory that once had Clark Gable, and where Judy Garland danced down the Yellow Brick Road.
Everyone knows that an organisation works best when no one dares to question the highest leadership and those who are supposed to provide accountability are actually just yes-men.
It’s really easy to say that. The hard part that’s invisible is that everyone has a voice now… internet has and will forever remain tense within pleasing LARGE AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE… so their entire well everything depends so much more on it pleasing the masses, but that’s just the beginning, now they have to please influential people… even if it is great, and a few popular people don’t like it, millions lost. So we all just don’t know wtf to do in this time so yes men became a problem…. It’s a cycle that’s wearing itself down by the day but only getting worse? My prediction for the future. Small businesses are and will be the normal… and large corporations will merge and pretty much dominate. If ya ever seen Idiocracy it’s a pretty accurate representation and indicator of how we think technology is good… which it is. But it falls under the category or drugs. Some technology can cure, most can devastate and manipulate. But it comes to will power like drugs…
Disney was once considered an American institution. Now it's just a company. Answer is: don't care. Either they improve their sh*tty movies or they don't. If they don't they fail. And no tears shed.
Thx to Nelson Peltz Disney has recovered somewhat. Unfortunately there is so much passive investment nowadays (ETF) that a good thing has turned problematic. As soon as companies are in an index, their stocks get bought no matter what. Activist investors like Peltz keep companies responsible
Iger's 2023 pay package included a base salary of $865,385, stock awards totaling $16.1 million, $10 million in stock option awards, $2.1 million in performance-based compensation and $2.48 million in other compensation, according to The Walt Disney Company's annual proxy statement.
Disney killed Star Wars, Marvel and the Disney/Pixar animated movies. How? Diversity, representation, Inclusivity, characters gender swap, made a lot of them gay/lesbian etc. Perversion of the source material and DEI (politics) are not what fans want to see so we just don't watch their movies.
People talk about liner television decline, but something i noticed about that is the lack of shows that are just kick back and watch shows. Sometimes i might just have episodes of old "characters welcome" era of USA Network running almost in the background, but now i can't really think of shows streaming or broadcast that fit that role anymore. Yes we have dick wolf turning out 5 new shows and 10,000 new episode a year, but i can't really point to anything else right now. It almost as if Disney strategies was to flip tv and movies(for streaming at least). Expecting TV show to be big high cost events that draw in a lot in a short go, while also expecting movies to be a staple crop with people showing up over and over just to watch out of habit.
I saw this mentioned before that older shows had a lot of filler and most of the episodes weren't really that important to the plot. That's no longer the case which makes watching TV higher stakes. I'm all for this but not everyone is.
@@SpottedHares Yeah that's true. We watch a lot of like crime shows and cooking shows when it's late to unwind. Some shows require too much focus for just before bed.
People don’t wanna pay money for something that they can watch on TV. Basically everything is streaming now so if Disney wants to keep their heads above water, they need to start making fire content like they used to and stop charging asurb prices
well, may be Disney should learn how to produce in quality and quantity while alert to costs - something only Netflix can teach them. Disney which produced all the top talent who had left disney to start their own production houses...shows Disney has problems with retaining talent, and seems to stick to produce only blockbusters in small numbers...
The excuse of people not wanting to pay for tickets cause of streaming services doesn't apply to disney. No one wants to pay for their movies cause of their recent delve into 🧚♀️
12:19-12:30 I totally disagree with your statement. Some people enjoy cable/satellite TV. Streaming services are pushed onto to consumers. The cost of streaming services has become just as expensive as traditional cable tv. There’s this false narrative that consumers are cutting the cord. Streaming services has many problems people are not talking about. Why don’t you talk about the Cons of streaming services?
Disney plus launched in international markets with Hulu content long before 2023. Disney acquired Fox in 2019 and comcast entered into an agreement with disney to cede control that same year. That would indicate the plan was to merge Hulu with disneyplus. Nelson Peltz did not give them this idea
The real question is why make Disney+ at all. They already had the stake in Hulu, so they should have made Hulu the exclusive home of Disney content or whatever.
Just fire the DEI department and get passionate people to write the stories, without worrying about representation, just the best stories and characters and you can fix these powerful franchises. This is not "anti-" representation take, but stop making that the main selling point
Of course not. Too corporate to see the REAL problem here in CONSTANTLY destroying classics with total junk sequels with a HEAVILY overlaid woke message to the point it diverts the entire story and ruins the movie.
bing bing bing! magical how that was mist under all of this, the most obvious thing everyone complains about. Hollywood in general has a big problem with that, too bad the rest of the none hyper urbanised western world don't like it.
Nah has nothing to do with woke, they're just giving these movies too high budgets. dial of destiny had a 400 mil budget while temple of doom only had 20 mil. Not every film has to have an avengers level budget. Universal has been releasing alot of low budget films that have been blowing up and when they flop they dont lose as much money. Everything everywhere all at once which starred an older chinese woman and her gay daughter only had a budget of 15 mil and made 150 mil.
NGL, I sold my US companies and I really think the vast majority of US labor reliant businesses are in deep trouble. the cost and quality of US labor is horrid and the regulators, payroll taxes, and cost of living BS has basically doubled the cost of labor in the last 5 years from low wage to high wage employees vastly aren't appreciative of their salaries which are multiples of so much of the rest of the world which vastly works harder outside of europe.. I think this decade its all about not leveraging US labor if Ai generated stuff or finding ways to sell into the US from foreign produced content and product, that may be better but thinking about all the people costing the company so much money, its just hard as hell for companies like Disney to think that they have a shot in hell at making foreign revenues. 10 years ago I felt that Disney with so many titles and so much content was so far in 1st place but here they are doing what.. I think there needs to be some major production competition that can be far more cost effective and educational or parent liked than what Disney does. Disney left servicing just kids and is trying to be an everything media company and has abandoned its core.
disney has taken over hulu already and has rolled it over to disney and also iger has done over 50% of what peltz wrote in his document before the vote
Disney mostly did this to themselves. Get rid of "DIE" stop using inexperienced directors, producers, writers, and artists this will take care of the budget over runs. Fire the existing board and CEO and most of the executive producers. Return the company to making a profit instead of trying to change the world. Personally, I would get rid of the streaming service that was never their thing and a hole in their pocket. if these things are not done, they are just wasting time.
They need to remake Hunchback... for modern sensibilities, add "diversity". Call it the Blunchback of Blotre Blame, call me Mr. Iger, I got modern solutions.
Everything is a cost of living and never stops going up. While the earnings never even took off. So what money is it you want me to spend? Screw your company
The video completely ignored the political aspect of Disney's problem. They've been pushing the woke agenda for a couple of years now. Many people just don't like this. Disney once made movies that truly tried to reach the younger audience and each movie was "magical" and taught important life lessons. But now they just make movies that are straight propaganda.
