Disney is BURNING CEO Bob Iger & Elon Musk Know It 

Disney has had massive box office flops and poor critical reviews for movies such as The Marvels and Wish recently, but the cherry on top was Elon Musk and Disney CEO Bob Iger giving Dealbook interviews. With Elon Musk calling out Bob Iger by his name and even talking about how many people claim to be doing while, while actually doing evil. These interviews were great. Bob Iger admits some problems but seems to totally miss the point. Alongside obfuscating the actual truth behind a wall of corporate speak. The interesting part comes when you contrast his opinions here against his investor SEC filings. Where Disney admit the real reason why they are failing. They are no longer aligned with their audience. And this can't be solved, with their current staff. Is it too late for Disney? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

I'm not even consciously boycotting Disney. I just don't care about anything they create anymore.

Disney flew too close to the sun on wings of woke.

Musk said. ‘ let the judge decide. The public.’ How are the press and the CeoS so clueless.

Bob blaming the former ceo is actually making him look more stupid than he thinks the public is,

Rachel Ziegler is the personification of a paper cut. She can be severe to mildly annoying, and then you completely forget about her for the rest of your life until it appears again. And then the cycle repeats.

Disney is a zombie company. They forgot their founder’s core values, and audiences spoke, loudly.

Disney's problem is they cannot be trusted to provide family entertainment. It's that simple.

The worst part of all of this, is that the core problem is so obvious but the company chooses to be oblivious and push what they want. I’ll be shocked if they question theirselves in the future on why they are failing.

It's crazy how much I hate Disney nowadays. I'm so sick of everything that they're doing with that company and then the CEO wants to put the blame on everyone else but himself

I can write the premise for nearly every Disney cartoon kids movie. Dad is an idiot, mom has rules, the kid breaks the rules and by breaking the rules solves a major problem, then in the end of the movie the parents are apologizing to the kid for having dumb rules and thanking the kid for solving the problem. Why would any parent choose to groom their kids with that kind of garbage?

As a father and a grandfather I will never take my kids to any Disney property or buy them any Disney products or take them to any Disney films!

Bob is so full of himself. I’m continuing my boycott of Disney until they stop pushing their agenda’s.

Elon is spot on when he says looking good but doing evil. That about sums up Disney

Disney: We know we are creating trash, but we dont plan on improving it because we hate our audience.

What the owners of Disney do not realise is when a franchise has a fan base already it's best to stick to the original program

I don’t believe Disney is capable of being who they were as they have got rid of everyone who had the traditional Disney mindset and replaced them (and in tern their culture) with too many woke people who genuinely believe that it’s their role to mold the minds of our children towards their dangerous political and social beliefs). Respect to Elon for standing up to their constant threats, I only wish it wasn’t going to hurt companies that had the integrity to stand up and say enough, as he did. That advertising machine may suddenly feel threatened and band together (even if they do not have aligned views with the Disney’s of our world) just to assure their dominance and control on the companies and agencies that rely on their support, and in turn those weaker companies that “depend on” or are indirectly manipulated by their sponsors, may feel they have to now ostracize and distance themselves from The Elons (Companies that say enough, you do not make our policies or control our core beliefs anymore), just so that they don’t loose their financial crutch.

Bob Iger is a liar. Simply as that. If I could lie like him, I would be rich, but I am sincere and broken

I used to be the biggest Disney fan. Now I can’t stand them. If you told me in 2013 “ten years from now you won’t even go see the new animated Disney musical” I wouldn’t have believed it.

I went to watch Top Gun Maverick in theaters twice. First time on the standard showing and rewatched a week later in IMAX. It just takes a good movie for people to go into movie theaters and spend money. Disney just has been putting out dumpsters of rubbish

"we'd hoped society would have been programmed, brainwashed and just totally defeated by this point" keep it up guys we are winning

"The judge is the audience"... No no, Elon, you got it all wrong. You're suppose to say were the enemy....

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result

It's mad how quick this has all went downhill, collapsing into chaos. The Iger's & his cohorts are insane for blaming the fans for their demise, & all because we are not paying to watch horrible movies, instead of looking at themselves. I'm not sure this can be fixed.

Just got back from watching Godzilla minus one. Best movie I’ve seen since endgame and it didn’t need a a 10 year build up. Also, it was made with a 15 million dollar budget. It looked amazing btw. So wtf is Disney doing with all that money from those high budget movies and shows???

Very good analysis. Disney executives are compromised, evil or mad. All of those 3 are bad for the company, society and themselves.

Given how much money Iger is paid, I can see why he says he's successful regardless of how much money the company is losing. If I was a soulless corporate ceo raking in seven figures a year I'd be pretty satisfied with myself too.

Laughed my ass off when he said we need more executives micromanaging on set.

He says it’s “hard when something you love and have put your heart into so much is struggling.” Yea, Bob… imagine how us Disney fans feel. Or the Star Wars fans that have to watch our heroes be emasculated. Or Indiana Jones be treated like a bigot misogynist… It’s gross…

*Iger is like an alcoholic attending an AA meeting who can't even acknowledge the first step of a 12-step program. But instead of refusing to admit he's an alcoholic, Iger can't admit he's of the cultural-political left. Or: "I'm not of the left, I'm a progressive!" Or: "I'm not a leftist, I'm a liberal!" Or: "I'm not a progressive, I'm woke!" Or: "I'm not woke, I just have good intentions!" BTW, those intentions are what the road to hell is paved with. And there's nothing kind, caring or compassionate about that road either.*

They are so deep in those "weird funds" that they would rather burn the company down that admit the reality that preaching and lecturing don't sell

Disparu, it warms my heart to see how successful you have become. I remember watching your first video when you had less than 2k subscribers.

If writers and actors were paid like they were in the really old days... you know, where they got a percentage of the profit that the production made, they'd be inclined to make good entertainment. But, when you have people who get paid millions up front , whether or not their product sells or is well received, what is their motivation to do well?

The reason Disney is in the shape it's in is because of Bob Iger wanting to fight the culture wars and pushing an activist woke agenda.

Bob Iger always carries himself like a cult leader. Thanks for making things clearer for why Disney sucks, Disparu. Pretty much why I’m a fan of every video you produce by proving why “entertainment” today is horrible in Hollywoke.

Everyone knows it is Iger's and not Chapick's fault. That Iger is the one that set Disney's course before he left in 2020. These guys really do think the public is stupid. And if you think about it, Disney's doesn't want to appeal to the audience they've lost. If they did, they would continue to advertise on X.

As a Norwegian, I don’t even get how they’re allowed to use Thor and the cult of Odin as part of their franchise and as part of “marvel” when it’s part of my heritage and cultural identity. Like, that’s the equivalent of having Jesus or Muhammad as part of the avengers

No one can genuinely say that Bob didn't come off as a complete corporate asshat while Elon came across as a boss. Let's watch the reckoning.

I like how the interviewer sounded so incredulous " they're going to boycott DISNEY?" Boycotts don't need people picketing physical locations or even announcing it, people just aren't watching their trash. People are not pouring into the parks anymore. It amounts to the same thing.

Apple, IBM and Sony need the Disney treatment

So when is he gonna mention that the new hunger games movie has been a success now? Everyone said that the ballad of songbirds and snakes would never succeed but they’re now making a profit. The movie is proving so many people wrong and I love to see it.

What you have to understand is this: As of this moment, Disney will not stray from THE MESSAGE regardless of loss because they are not allowed to stray from it. Their institutional shareholders, the large investment firms, have a stranglehold on the entertainment business especially Disney because of its reach to children. This is what Klaus Schwab’s stakeholder capitalism is all about. It’s about them deciding which values we should embrace and cramming them down our throats. This is one major aspect of the Great Reset

Iger is such a slimeball.

I still recall that leaked Disney meeting video, where one woman, an executive member of the Disney Production Staff, was describing her personal household. She wants to project that lifestyle she has in her home with her children to the public, as if the public will follow her example. All her example is, her home neighbors tell their children not to befriend her children and to never enter her home. That is a very strange home lifestyle that she was describing. That is the lifestyle that she assumes and demands to project onto the public. This is what is hired at Disney. She is an example of the Crux of the problem at Disney. Bob Iger, and several BOD members at Disney Corp, needs to be let go, forth with.

You know your out of touch when board meetings are about realigning with your audience. Wtf disney. Get a clue what half the country thinks

We just did a two week vacation in Orlando and didn't visit Disney. Our group was traveling with kids and we didn't want to expose them to degeneracy.

These executives get paid millions of dollars and they still can't figure out what everyone sees

You have thought this through, and this is a brilliant take on what is going on

Most excellent insight. Keep up the great work!

They thought simply making products with the names the fans loved meant they make money. Then they made terrible products and blame us for not swallowing sludge.

"What we should care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place, I see people who only care about *looking good but DOING evil.* " I will not say he is by no means clear of this sin, but it is probably the first time someone nailed out the biggest problem plaguing the western society.

If Disney wants “Consumer Acceptance”, wants to make money, then go with the “Angel Studios Guild” model.

Disney knows what the audience wants because it consistently gives them the exact opposite - you need to know where true north is in order to keep going south. Best analogy ever.

It seems like he knew Disney was imploding so he decided to step down and name a successor that he knew would continue all of his projects and continue that path. Then once the implosion started he’d come back in to “save the day”. His plan was doomed because it was too late to save. He wanted to craft an “I’m your savior” moment but it ended up that people realized, no Bobby your the cause.

Good riddance, new woke Disney.

Thank you for some extra context around that interview, A lot of the things Elon said were very well put. Like the bit about people desire the appearance of being good, while doing evil.

A restaurant owner sits the chef down and says, "The restaurant is failing. The chief complaint is poor food quality. What do you think we should do about it?" The chef replies, "Larger portion sizes?"

I’m a woman and the whole girl boss and Mary sue pisses me off. They need to stop, it is not feminism. I want Disney to stop remaking the great original movies that I watched as a child and still watch with my son and nieces. Well my son doesn’t watch the princess movies lol. Give us entertainment not their agenda they keep pushing. Also Disney needs to stop with the gender ideology and politics.

Bob Iger “distancing” himself from Disney was him NOT giving up his office, participating in meetings, and even starting a coup on campus.

They need to fire everybody in Hollywood and never re-higher anyone from Hollywood!

When I first became a manager I was told the "three envelope story". New manager comes in, his predecessors says 'here are three numbered envelopes. When it gets bad, open one." It gets bad right away, he opens first envelope, it says "Blame Predecessor". He does it, stuff still bad, he opens second and it says "Reorganize". He fires people, promotes others, it stays bad. He opens the third envelope and it says "Prepare three envelopes for the new guy". Iger is still trying to use the first envelope strategy but soon he'll move on to the second one.

"It's my fault and I put the blame on whoever I want." - Bob Iger, probably

Crazy thing is I’m a big marvel comics, fan and a Star Wars fan. I just wish it wasn’t owned by Disney at this point.

Disney should just realize that they will have fewer customers for their products, which embrace the values their pushing, and act accordingly. Make films for under 10 million, and they will more likely make a profit. It would also help if their executives would work for minimum wage. That would also save the company a fortune.

I was 2 years old when my grandmother took me to the Anaheim grand opening of Disneyland. To say I was a fan is an understatement. I have celebrated every year at Disneyland. However I haven’t, nor will I ever , step foot anywhere near this company again. They have become everything I hate about the direction our country is going.

Tolkien said it best, and Disney is living proof.

Spot on. These people are in a cult and don't care how much money they lose. They will take the company down with them.

Hitting all the buttons and liking everything to hopefully help in the algorithm. Thanks for the great content.

But why? Why are they refusing to change? Is there someone higher up that is pulling the strings? Is it just Disney stakeholders? Disney used to love printing money.

Jeezus, Iger has NO MORAL COMPASS💩

I truly do not think the Disney company can be saved in it's current form. Crash, burn, attempt the pheonix thing; I don't even want to wish them luck. "THEY KILLED DISNEY! YOU BASTARDS!" 🤷

Great Editing Skillz Amigo~

Excellent analysis. Thank you.

When the costs has gone up and the quality of the output went down it's probably corruption. What we see here is that more diversity leads to more corruption. The same happened in South Africa.

I’m not exactly an Elon fan (I’d say I’m more net neutral), but I will say that he was honest that this will probably destroy Twitter/X and accepting that fact while also still calling out the sources at play. I find that highly respectable.

No Disney movies, no Disney memorabilia, no Disney land….Ever!!

"I worked hard at distancing myself from it," said Bob Iger, who is only known for exactly it.

Spent billions and billions to aquire Marvel, a property with thousands of successful well developed interconnected stories already written, then proceeded to flip up the lid, dump all of those stories in the bin, and start from scratch. Make it make sense.

I wonder whose behind all of this. Surely a company a big as disney wouldn't want to fail, but who is making them do this stupid things that cost them a lot?

Let ‘em have it, Disparu! Good work as always.

Any company that is anti-free speech and woke child groomer is a major NO NO for my whole family and everyone I know...

Bob Chapek wasn't a "mistake" he was a "fall guy". He was NEVER in charge, so all the failures on his watch were started on Iger's watch and Iger was in charge the whole time from behind a curtain while Chapek was "CEO".

Hey dude I just subscribed, keep up the good work

I think this is a huge positive as it's coming to light that the majority of people are not woke and maybe it requires a few martyrs to show the people in power this.

Imagine being laughed out of an interview because u have "diversity equity and inclusion officer" as a previous position.😂

Well done and well said!

Disney chose to showcase to the 1% and its fantasy that consumer tastes have changed than the 99% who used to love Disney entertainment.

Disney is burning and I wouldn't pee on them to put them out!

"You need to know where true North is in order to keep going in the complete opposite direction!" Dude that was gold 😘👌

An amazingly lucid take on the problem. Too bad main stream journalism can't see it. I guess they're part of the problem.

Disney are literally saying that they believed that the world would change so that a Modern Audience would appear that would welcome The Message. But... why?

When a CEO starts the interview with, "I've tried really hard to distance myself from...." that running shoes have already been put on. The Disney execs all sound like that old song..."It wasn't me."

I can’t believe Iger said he tried to distance himself, like that excuses him from responsibility for the failures! He’s admitting he’s a weasel that doesn’t take responsibility when things go badly. He came back to fix things and it’s all worse than ever. I’m amazed he had the balls to be interviewed at all. He looks like such a fool.

In this video, Disparu was specially inspired and on point. Keep up the good work my man. It might seem over the top, but i really think you are helping to save our society.

I cannot find "You have a way with words; word vomit." (18:28) anywhere, thank you for posting it here.

Many fans like myself wanted to support Disney. We ended up even feeling slight guilt on "attacking" the Mouse. But to be truthful, and transparent even, we did nothing wrong or even disloyal. Disney dropped the ball. Not us.

As long as Disney keeps Bob the house will be on fire. Bob is the ignition source. Get rid of Bob and you might be able to save Disney. Doubtful but maybe. So it's definitely not going to happen. Did Bob really try to brag about Disney Plus? It came pre-installed on my phone. I canceled it right before I had to pay. Like a lot of people. And there were a lot more people who got tricked and forgot canceled before they had to pay. Once they realize they were paying they canceled though. We all know Disney plus isn't doing well. And yet he's still going to brag about it? Do these people know the internet exists? I'm also 100% done with creatives who hate the projects they're on and end up shooting on them. If Hollywood wants to hire people who hate the projects are on for projects Hollywood can go pound sand. I am sick and tired of these people taking opportunities that people would absolutely love to have for a paycheck. If I shit all over the job I did I'd get fired. So should Taika Waititi, Rachel Ziegler, and any other rich asshole. So did they only hire bob chapac so that Bob Iger could shit on him forever? Because the man was only CEO for a year. There is no possible way he could have done that much damage. Just not possible.

Boycott anything to do with Disney!

Another obvious nail in the coffin, their online movie club is down with no date given when it might be back due to "3rd party" issues.

You are right on! Thank you. Disney is dead to me. Iger and Disney are fulfilling the saying, "The operation was a success, but the patient died!" Investors. If you care about your ROI, run away!
