Yeah I also saw that also Disney Parks (ie.., Disneyland, Disney World, etc.) have not fared well also based on what was reported in today's Disney's earning report.
Disney needs to re-evaluate itself. Even Marc Zuckerberg said during today's layoff annoucement of 13% of its work force that he made a mistake as far as not realizing he was pushing Meta to un-profitability.
I wonder how much Disney has been taken over by a left wing Woke culture that views profits as irrelevant compared to its Woke agenda.

Go Woke, Go Broke: Disney Stock Tanks as Company of 'Woke Perverts' is Forced to Purge its Workforce
First, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) won re-election in a landslide victory on Tuesday. Then Disney’s corporate earnings disappointed Wall Street, sending its stock crashing to new lows. Now the entertainment giant is reportedly planning layoffs, a targeted hiring freeze, and travel limitation on its employees.
In a letter to top company executives obtained by multiple news outlets, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said the austerity measures will be “difficult” but necessary.
“I am fully aware this will be a difficult process for many of you and your teams. We are going to have to make tough and uncomfortable decisions. But that is just what leadership requires, and I thank you in advance for stepping up during this important time,” he wrote.
“Our company has weathered many challenges during our 100-year history, and I have no doubt we will achieve our goals and create a more nimble company better suited to the environment of tomorrow.”
He said Disney will also be conducting a “rigorous review of the company’s content and marketing spending,” with all of these efforts being overseen by newly formed “cost structure taskforce” comprised of Chapek, CFO Christina McCarthy, and general counsel Horacio Gutierrez.
It remains unclear how many workers Disney will layoff and which areas of the company they will come from.
As Breitbart News reported, Disney shares plummeted this week after the company reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that fell short of expectations, putting the company’s future profitability into question. Disney revealed that it lost a stunning $1.5 billion on its streaming entertainment services as it seeks to build out Disney+ and Hulu in an effort to compete with Netflix and other competitors.
Disney picked a political fight with Gov. DeSantis earlier this year over the state’s Parental Rights in Education Law, which prohibits the teaching of sexuality and gender ideology — including transgenderism — to children in kindergarten through third grade.
Caving to pressure from a small group of radicalized employees, Chapek condemned the law and pledged that Disney would embrace radical LGBTQ activism going forward.
So far this year, shares of Disney are down a whopping 62 percent.

Anyone that takes their kids or grandkids to one of their parks, or, to watch one of their perverted, child-indoctrinating movies is complicit in their evil.
I sincerely hope that they completely disappear from the scene. The way it's going, that's a very real possibility.

Kids team and parents went to see black panther for free, it was horrible and whites are portrayed as bad guys and colonizers. But more importantly there was a trailer for the little mermaid. The whole trailer shows glimpses of her but not her face until the end, at which point most of the girls in the theatre started booing.

Leading a Global Intelligence and Threat Analysis Program for One of the World’s Most Well-Known Brands.
Angela Lewis, Manager of Global Intelligence and Threat Analysis for The Walt Disney Company and Protective Intelligence Honors Thought Leader, is tasked with the massive job of understanding how geopolitical events and global security intelligence could impact The Walt Disney Company’s various lines of business.
To do so she’s created one of the best protective intelligence teams in the business. One that she leads with encouraging a positive organizational culture, something Angela believes is key to the success of any security program. She is even nearing the completion of her PhD in Global Leadership from Pepperdine University; her dissertation focuses on building and leveraging intelligence teams in the private sector.
I recently had Angela join me on The Protective Intelligence Podcast for a fascinating discussion into the Walt Disney Global Intelligence and Threat Analysis program she runs. Here are some highlights from our conversation.
What were the main considerations you took into account when building out your team?
When I started building out my team, I had the luxury of already having been in the company for a few years, so I had a good feeling for the overarching needs of the business when it came to intelligence. So, that meant that it really came down to designing a strategy for meeting those needs and then identifying the right staffing, structure, and processes to support that strategy.
In reality, while building a team is heavily dependent on hiring the right talent, it also means ensuring that whatever structure you design supports that talent and allows them to grow and evolve along with your company’s needs – same with the processes and procedures that are implemented. I definitely took an agile approach to establish our team.
That said, our team also has a very nuanced remit, so while many organizations are looking at tactical incident monitoring and alerting; investigations related to problematic communicators, or social media threat intelligence, those elements reside within different parts of our organization. We are able to focus primarily on strategic geopolitical and global security intelligence – understanding how things happening around the globe may impact Disney’s various lines of business.
Developing tailored intelligence requirements – really understanding where to focus our efforts – also helped to identify the right talent to join our team and how to structure the team so as to best leverage individual and collective strengths.
What advice would you give a newly appointed director or manager of an intelligence team who has never done it before?
Do a needs assessment first! Many times, a new leader is brought in to build an intelligence capability – often from a government background – and sometimes, they’re handed a budget and some headcount, and they start with building the structure and then go about trying to figure out how to use that structure – or the people they’ve hired – to accomplish all of the things that their organization expects of them.
Scoping the work first – truly understanding what is needed – and why – will help to build an intelligence program more thoughtfully. It also helps to avoid some of the stumbles that many leaders face in building these teams. It’s not about what you as a manager or leader think the intelligence function should do, or even what other organizations within the private sector do – but rather what unique security threats exist to your particular company and how intelligence can best be brought to bear to help decision makers mitigate them.
At the end of the day, the intent of global security and intelligence is to help business decision-makers make the best possible decisions, and intelligence teams can’t do that if they don’t know what questions or problem set they’re targeting.
What is unique about the work culture of your team?
It would be easy for me to say something like “the gifs” (because my team can drop some perfectly-timed and completely on-point gifs like nobody else I know), but in reality, I’d have to say the camaraderie.
I know that I am 100% biased, so I won’t be offended if this is taken with a grain of salt – but I am immensely proud of the way the team just “gels”. We have a lot of different personalities on the team – some are shy or reserved while others are outspoken, some are passionate about Harry Potter while others are hardcore Disney fanatics (and still others have never even seen Frozen…), but the team shows up for each other. Whether it’s rooting each other on ahead of a briefing, helping provide peer review so a product is the best it can be, or just serving as a safe place to express frustrations before moving forward with the work that needs to be done. I think the reason the team is so effective is the culture that allows everyone to bring their unique slice of genius while also encouraging each other as we tackle our “areas for growth.” At the end of the day, we are a team, but our individuality is recognized and celebrated, too.
The analysts on your team have a wide range of backgrounds – how do you approach recruiting and mentoring?
In my time as the manager of my team, I have hired a total of 9 (going on 10) analysts, and I am batting 1000, which feels really good. Every single one of my analysts has been the absolute perfect pick for their role. I don’t typically approach hiring by looking for a specific background – I’m not even necessarily looking for analytic experience. What I am looking for is intellectual curiosity, someone who wants to learn and grow, who is adaptable, flexible, and agile, and who is a great team member. And yes, solid writing skills.
To be honest, though, I think this success has been only partially because the right people were selected – it’s also because of the camaraderie on the team, which I mentioned previously. They work hard for each other – and that means that every time we onboard someone new, it’s a team effort. Each person on the team contributes to bringing the newest person up to speed, helping them get acclimated, and ensuring that they’re fully integrated into the team. Every person on my team is a mentor because they have unique strengths that we can all learn from. I may be there to serve as a sounding board or to give suggestions or guidance or even career advice, but I’m not the only leader on my team – each member of the team is contributing to everyone else’s growth and development every day.
How does your team evaluate the unique threat landscape?
From a bigger picture perspective, our lens is a Disney global security lens – for us, that means seeing what’s happening around the world through the eyes of Disney Cruise Lines, ABC News, Marvel, Pixar, ESPN, National Geographic, etc.
It also means seeing the challenges of current events through the eyes of individual cast members, guests, and business decision-makers. To do this, we have to rely heavily on a very collaborative approach. We work with vendors, regionally-based partners, our professional networks, and fellow cast members so that we can have the most holistic view of the threat landscape. We also nuance our analysis for individual lines of business. This means that no two days are ever the same – and nor are any two products – so it certainly keeps things interesting, but it also allows for a more creative and flexible approach to global intelligence and threat analysis.

Disney’s ‘Strange World’ to Lose $100 Million in Theatrical Run
Since “Strange World” cost $180 million to produce and tens of millions more in global marketing and distribution fees, the film needs to gross roughly $360 million to break even, sources say.
And keep in mind: those levels were unattainable for “Lightyear” (which ended its theatrical run with $226 million worldwide) and “Encanto” (which ended its theatrical run with $256 million worldwide), despite those films notching bigger opening weekends. Rival studios believe “Strange World” will be lucky to hit $45 million by the end of its domestic run. By comparison, “Encanto” earned $96 million in North America while “Lightyear” generated $118 million in the states.
“This is a weak opening by Disney animation standards,” says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. “At a cost of $180 million, plus marketing expenses, the film will finish in the red, even with good ancillary income.”
Overseas grosses may not provide much of a lifeline. “Strange World” was similarly jilted at the international box office with $9.2 million from 43 markets.

So I didn't let my kids watch Lightyear after seeing the bullshit around lesbians having a kid. My daughter wanted to watch Strange World, and I had not taken the time to read about it, so we got caught in the theater. It was awkward, but we stayed as they didn't show the teens even holding hands, just discussed the boy having a crush on another guy. The problem is this is an animated movie targeting kids. Needless to say, we won't be going to ANY more Disney movies without a thorough review, which I should have known already after Lightyear.
Went to Disneyland the other week. At the end of the Christmas parade you have Santa of course. The thing that bugged me, he said "Happy Holidays" instead of Merry Christmas. Which I did hear somewhere else in the park, so why the fuck not say it in the parade. My older daughter exclaims to me after he passes "Santa's black!?". I couldn't really see, and he didn't sound black, so I hadn't noticed, but when she said it I did. Then in the movie previews the other day, everyone was black, then black Arial in the Mermaid reboot. What the fuck, are we in Africa? How would it look if Africa or Jamaica had white movies and commercials everywhere?

Disney’s ‘Strange World’ Plummets 60% In Its Second Weekend
Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Strange World crashed nearly 60% in its second weekend, earning an estimated $4.9 million. It did so while screening in more theaters – 4,174 – than any other film in North American theaters, drawing just $1,178 per screen.
The dismal second weekend follows a disastrous Thanksgiving holiday launch, in which the film failed to reach its already tepid box office projections and ended up with a ‘B’ from the market research film Cinemascore, which is unheard of for a Disney film. Strange World’s total stands at $25.5M, and it is currently on pace to become the lowest-grossing Walt Disney Animation Studios film since 2011’s Winnie the Pooh, which was the studio’s last hand-drawn animated feature. The difference was that Winnie the Pooh had a budget of around $30M; the budget of Strange World has been reported by Hollywood trades to be anywhere between $135-180M.

In Mexican soap operas seems like nearly everybody is white in that.
Television and film is just propaganda now. It's product on top of that, just don't consume it.

Iger is going to need at least 12 to 18 months to start to turn things around. Disney went on a "go Woke, go broke" bonanza. Doesn't help Iger took over as Disney CEO during a major recession, or just at the beginning on one.

Strange World failed not because it was "woke" really, it's just that it was genetic, predictable, and sucked. That's what reviewers are saying anyhow.
Similar to when we were being told that the reason that Ghostbusters 2016 didn't do well was because it was an all female cast. It failed because it just kind of sucked. It was all ad-libbed, juvenile comedy.
I don't consume modern media much, but in the rare times I catch it, it's just bad. The writers are below average. Basically today, Star Trek Strange New Worlds is just a bunch of nonsense strung together to get to the next special effect sequence for example. As if in 2022, special effects are even important today.
