Disney - Death Of An Empire 

As a long time Disney hater, I couldn't be happier. Monopolies are inherently anti-consumer, especially in media.

I agree with all of your points but you forgot one: Disney’s outright refusal to fire people that are consistently turning Billion dollar IP’s into absolute dirt.

Pretty ironic that Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was the movie that got Disney started, and it's remake is the movie that will end them.

It looks like the CEOs are deliberately trying to destroy Disney, all I can say is, keep up the good work.

It's honestly very simple. Competition breeds innovation. Disney itself saw that back when Don Bluth left the company, proceeded to hand Disney its *entire* ass at the box office, and then Disney made better products in response. But now that they own everything, there IS no competition. They have no reason to try and do better. Until they stop owning everything, we will get nothing but stale crap no one wants to see.

Two big reasons why modern Disney movies are failing: 1: Most of their properties rely on audience nostalgia, but you can't get nostalgic about something that refuses to go away. 2: The lack of original stories, replaced with remakes and spinoffs, is because coming up with new and original movies requires creativity, and investing in them requires taking a financial risk. Disney is a corporate bureaucracy, and is thus capable of neither.

Many people may find Disney's forced diversity in its movies insulting, but I find Disney's forced diversity because of ESG rating way more insulting. To both us and the actors who thought they were being paid because they were fit for the role.

Walt Disney is turning so fast in his grave that we could give the entire world enough electricity.

People have seem to forgotten that the Pixar company was formed by former Disney animators who formed their own company. To say that Disney “acquired” Pixar basically confirmed Disney’s strategy of buying out any creative competition. This is the basic model of Disney.

Nothing I love more than witnessing the slow painful death of Disney in real time

Reject Disney, Embrace piratebay

If Disney does happen to go down I really hope fox becomes independent again. It did not deserve to get absolutely demolished by Disney

It's funny how the marketing of Disney movies changed from "hey, look at this wonderful story with a colorful cast of characters, that you can enjoy with the whole family" to "hey, did you know that a bunch of bigots are attacking our movie? come to see our a movie to prove that you are not a bigot", trying to guiltrip the audience to watch their horrendously lazy productions, it always cracks me up 🤣

It wasn't fatigue of the property that did them in. It was fatigue of poor writing.

1.If you hate your customers just close your shop. 2.if you want to be in politics run for office.

this is ACTUAL social justice. Disney gets what it deserves and justice is served.

Honestly as a star wars fan, I think the best thing Disney could do would be to let go of my favorite franchise and stop raping it for money. They're the worst thing to have ever happened to my beloved franchised.

The fact Disney has a clear monopoly in the movie industry, and is literally buying it's competition and nobody is looking to do anything about it is very telling.

I grew up a 5-minute walk from Disneyland and had a mother that worked there for 33 years so imagine what people like me feel about this disaster. I actually met Walt Disney as a kid a few times and walked the halls underneath the park many times. Everything we grew up is completely gone now, I mean everything. The Woke generation has completely taken over this corporation so don't expect anything to change for the better.

Get Woke, Go Broke !

My uncle once said "Never beg people to take your money." This is what Disney expects of longtime fans. I don't know how a company can claim they're making films for "fan service" while simultaneously attacking fans over perceived bigotry. I'm personally sick and tired of it and IMHO they deserve to go bankrupt.

I feel sorry for little kids growing up now. The boys think they're doomed to incompetence, and the girls think they have to master kick-boxing.

"..mcu productions went from being events to something youll completely ignore.." So true 😢💔

I cheer every time a Disney film, or other product, flops. They truly suck.

Snow White 1937 made Disney. Snow White 2024 will end Disney.

People don’t realize that once you get to a certain level of power, it’s not about the money anymore. It’s about control.

It took you 22 minuets to say: Corporate suits tried to drive the Creative Bus...and should have let artists lead the company...like they used to. It's essentially what happened to the music industry.

The reason fall down to nothin more "Disney has heavily overestimated its value in people's live, at this point the big budget movies are as much valuable as a RU-vid video to the audiences, and non ironically, the RU-vid videos have a greater entertainment value at almost 0 cost."

“ Give the people what they want” Disney has done the opposite of that for almost a decade. The sad part for me and I’m sure others is, it feels deliberate.

When a company tells you they dont want you as a customer, believe them.

Disney took every single part of entertainment only to self-destruct right away. Leaving us alone in the dark era of the internet. Well done genius.

I grew up on Disney, but as I got older I've started to realize how bad Disney is

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving company.

Disney is doing a much better job than DeSantis of destroying Disney.

Charging 16 bucks for a gas station level burger at their parks is enough to earn an F-off for life

They really have just exhausted any nostalgia i used to have for them these last years

You had me with the Macho Man Savage edits 😂 RIP Disney

I absolutely HATE the fact that I have to go to ONE company for all my entertainment needs.

I miss the old Disney, but it is dead and gone. I won’t miss this bastardized, propaganda machine.

Film company makes a good movie Disney: ill have that one

What bothers me most is the wholesale destruction of legacy characters like Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones to promote new characters. Leave the legacy characters alone and simply create the new characters in a quality way. Disney’s failure to understand this is the reason I have no empathy for their current failures.

Disney: lacks mass appeal to boys Disney: buys up Marvel and Lucasfilm to correct this Disney: pushes girl power crap into properties that appealed to boys

Disney is the modern day Roman empire, it rises only to fall.

What i find so ironic is that Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs built the empire. And it’ll be the new Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs that will destroy it.

To quote Zemo: "An empire toppled from the outside can rise again. But the one crumbling from within, that's death, forever."

Disney forgot they needed writers. Good writers. Writing is not easy, you can't just hire someone who used to write blogposts on Buzzfeed, but that's all Disney seems to hire nowadays...

I would love to see disney to back to its roots and make 2D animated movies. There is just something about their older animated films that feels different and expressive in its own way.

It's not dying fast enough.

Disney start with Snow White and wants to end with Snow White. 😂

The fall of Disney only goes to show that no matter how well off and powerful an empire or entity might seem, if they let their pride get the best of them, they are destined to fall.

My Parents didn't have to worry when I went to see a Disney movie Now I worry when my kids see one and what propaganda and Wokeness they're exposed to

Turns out if you focus on selling people ideas instead of seeling them cool movies, people stop liking you.

It is a bit ironic. There was a content creator for children that, about 35 years ago, realized that the only way they will stay in business is that if they paid more attention to quality than to quantity. The company I am talking about is Nintendo. They realized that the strategy of crapping out as many low-quality games as possible for the sake of profits was what destroyed Atari. Note that a third-party game maker is only allowed to make up to 5 games per year for a Nintendo console. This mindset helped Nintendo a lot. The new Zelda game (Tears of the Kingdom) was released five years after the last one (Breath of the Wild). The buildup of hype and the advances in the game engine has led to elevated sales. On the other hand, Capcom released a new Megaman game every year, with little improvement in each subsequent title. This destroyed what was once a promising franchise. Disney could learn something from Nintendo.

I still can't believe the hubris of buying Star Wars for 4 Billion dollars and just launching into movies with no plan whatsoever. They absolutely thought they couldn't fail.

Remember when people used to say not even 2 years ago that Disney is too big to fail?

I hope they go broke in every way I can imagine. The woke remakes are one thing, but trying to avoid the law and replacing their artists fully with ai is just such a scummy move and shows how dystopian Disney really is. I hope they go down, together with Universal who are just the same

George Lucas: I sold off Star Wars for future generations to enjoy That aged liked fuckin' milk

Let it burn baby. The Disney I knew has been dead for year’s. Now it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Disneys live action Snow White is going to be the equivalent of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia.

Now it's cheaper to fly to Tokyo and go to disneysea for a week than go to Disney at florida for 3 days.

No one would miss Disney if it disappeared tomorrow. They no longer make products people want or care about.

I really am proud of all the people standing up to Disney like this! Me and many others have discussed these problems for YEARS, and I’m glad more and more people are waking. While I do want Disney to return to normal and it will happen, there are many of you that have said that Disney first needs to be reduced to ashes before it becomes good again; And I am totally with those people.

What saddens me most about this whole situation, is that I will never live to see a good Star Wars movie at the cinemas again.

Yay disney’s reign of terror is coming to an end

George said he felt like he sold his children to slavers. _Great job, George._

Disney went from getting everyone excited to the next movie to a point where whenever people hear that a movie is being produced by Disney, fans fears that something might go wrong. If people fears your product instead of being excited for it, that's a bad sign. Not to mention that went a movie or series flops they now blame the audience instead of keeping their mouths and fingers shut and rethink what they did wrong. Either they learn from their failures and clean the brand's image or continue to insist on getting politically involved and collapse like a tower being demolished.

Frenchman here. The Disney magics was not purely American, it was international. I'm 66 and I still have fond memories of the Disney comics that my parents and grand-parents bought me in the 60's - in French of course. The oldest emotional movie experience I can remember of is when one of my aunts took me and my cousin to a theater in our local town to watch the Jungle Book, then the lastest Disney movie. My own children, now in their 30's and 20's, were brought up on videos of the Disney classics, the firs song my 30-year old daughter was able to learn was the Snow White "house cleaning song". We've visited Disneyland Paris four times, and when I was younger I visited Disneyland in Anaheim while on a vacation in the US. This long explanation just to say that my family and I were Disney fans... we WERE Disney fans... nowadays, none of us won't even consider spending one penny on a new Disney movie or the three-hour drive to Disneyland Paris. I keep my old videos and DVD's of the real Disney movies like a treasure.

I hate to be this person because i always hated when old people did this when i was young but things were better in the past. There might be one or two movies a year that actually make me hopeful for the future of film, this year so far was barbie. In the past I would be over the moon with excitement for the next block buster film, but now id much rather pick up a book by a lesser known author because the film market is over saturated with soulless adaptations of previously loved characters and stories. I could go on about this for hours but the gist of it is that disney along with many other entertainment powerhouses have lost all their heart and focus on profit rather than creativity, forgetting what caused people to love those things in the first place.

The classic 2D animated movies will be forever iconic Disney will fall and we’ll move on

This video should be shown to stockholders.

THEY DID IT TO THEMSELVES.

I hope Disney Bankrupts, they never deserved to manage the creative media.

Nice work, Blue. You did your homework and it shows... 👍🏻

That's how empires fall. They overexpand and implode - any storyteller or historian knows this.

I genuinely do not know how they manage to make such terrible financial decisions CONSTANTLY.

Evil eventually overplays its hand.

The meme edits on this whole entire video are on point. Excellent commentary as well.

In regards to the large push of diversity/social justice themes in a lot of recent Disney properties, I think it’s important to remember how political opinions, social issues, messaging about diversity, etc., has always been incorporated into filmmaking, or any sort of media. I think the difference between then and now is the capacity in which they do it. I consider myself a film lover, and I love seeing subliminal messaging, or the thoughts/opinions of writers/filmmakers put forward in an artistic way. Even if I don’t agree with the point they’re making, I can still appreciate the level of thought that goes into those messages being put forward in a meaningful and interesting way. Nowadays, it feels like every Disney property does this big song and dance about diversity and inclusion, and it repeatedly slaps you in the face as you watch anything they make. It’s like I’m being talked down to for an hour and a half during each movie I watch. I have no problem with race or even gender swapping of characters if the actor/actress is the best person for the role and genuinely fits a character really well. You brought up Zoë Kravitz and Jeremy Wright in another video as their roles in the Batman. They were both outstanding, and genuinely fit their roles extremely well. But often it feels Disney casts minorities just so they can get articles written about them and garner social points, even if that actor/actress doesn’t fit the character at all. Its like they have a checklist for every movie they make to include minority x or gender y and it’s not only lazy, but outright putting pandering before putting out a great and passionately made film.

Ol' Walt is spinning so fast, he's thawing himself out.

Bob Iger fiddled while Disney burned....ego maniac...worse than Nero..RIP Disney...

If they think 6000 dollars for a family is a reasonable price for a Star Wars hotel, they've lost their goddamn minds! Ohh... How the Mighty have Fallen!

Disney and Hollywood really going down with the ship over politics is hilarious. All they had to do was not that and this calamity doesn't exist lol.

My wife is a huuuuge Disney fan. Last year we watched a Disney film starring Bette Medler as part of a trio of witches, I forgot the name, and they had a scene with a drag show that had absolutely nothing to do with the movement of the story. I’m not a prude. I don’t care if an adult wants to see a drag show, but the movie was geared towards children and the scene had no purpose other than to expose the underage to drag. I just thought it bizarre and was waiting for the conservative elements to throw a fit.

Disney killed Luke, and I will never forgive Disney.

I remember when Marvel movies were must sees for me and my family. Now we aren’t even aware when a new one is releasing

disney's new style of dollar-store writing earned this unsustainable failure. i'll never forget the twerking she-hulk. way to go writers and disney studios... you failed in only the most obvious way by forgetting about your core audience. all of these results have been earned (garbage in, garbage out). i'll never forget the blaming of fans, with labels such as rrrrrrrrracist, toxic, and every -ist and -phobe word they had in their quiver for us. a solid f. and u. has been earned. it will take decades to recover.

Excellent video. Disney is what happens when greed takes over.

DEI destroyed Disney, just as debauchery destroyed Rome.

Not having a plan for the sequel trilogy is mind blowing. Spend 4 billion dollars and then just wing it. Now Star Wars has around the same prestige as the Fast and Furious franchise

"Too Big to Fail" does not mean that something is incapable of failing. It means that said thing is so big and interconnected that it's failure would be catastrophic. The Bigger they are, the Harder they Fall.

We want stories, not preaching. Odysseus fought Minotaurs, not heterosexuals

I can see Disney dragging marvel down with them.

I don't think over saturation is really contributing to the downfall of disney. If they were pumping out good movie after good movie, I'd be out there with my kids all the time watching them. The issue is that even ignoring the social issue they feel the need to spam, the writing of these movies is just hot garbage and they actively hate the people who the movie is supposed to be written for. Disney has been down this road before though. They just need to have the guts to clean house and get some people in whose focus is on writing a good story, not using a kids movie as their personal soap box.

"Disney won't ever disappear entirely" Yeaaah, tell that to Sears, Blockbuster, Kmart, Radioshack, Tower Records, Toys-R-Us and Sports Authority - to name just a few who people thought would always "be around." lol

As someone who once looked up to Disney and was inspired by both the likes of them and Nintendo to create their own stories and experiences to one day share with the people (that hopefully they'll enjoy), I have to say I'm kind of glad Disney's crumbling. For one, it means less competition, and more importantly it serves them right. You know you've gone bad when a highschooler formerly edgy OCs is able to write better than your most recent Marvel product. I don't like to stroke my ego that often, but I can say I can at least use subtext and suspense unlike the garbage that was Secret Invasion

Go woke go broke. The quality of their product has gone down the drain.

I feel terrible for the spirit of Walt himself.

I used to dream about working at Disney when i was a kid up until i was a teen. I watched every single release on opening night. I bought all the products i could. Its absolutely devastating to realize i dont care a bit about this company anymore. I resent it. Even the movies i used to love so much, used to watch every other week, dont have the same effect anymore because of the bitter taste i get from comparing their golden days to now. Its insane. I hate this.

I’ll save you time. Kathrine Kennedy ruined Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and the Star Wars hotel. The push for the woke nonsense was the final nail in the coffin.

Go woke go broke
