Disney fires CEO Chapek and brings back former CEO Iger. Two sides of the same coin but money talks and with Disney+ is in the crapper subscription wise the board had enough of the miserable quarterly results.

    @TheKobeStopper can we get an update on how that Florida taxation on Disney city is actually good news for Disney?

    Disney has lost over 1/3rd of its fans.
    It cost Disney $200 million to make toy story 3 so that they could put two cartoon females in a kissing scene and further indoctrinate children. Sales were $225 Million. They lost their ass.
    Disney + was considered a God send to the stale Disney brand when they started it up. Last year it lost $1.7 Billion.
    The new little mermaid is an African American girl. No big deal, right? No one would care if Disney hadn't politicized it and turned it into another virtue signaling lecture on society. They still don't get it. No one cares if the little mermaid is white, yellow, orange, black or pink. They don't want politics and grooming in their entertainment.
    Iger is a well-known entity, but he is not going to change anything about the woke bullshit. That will continue. As one Disney employee remarked, "it is us against the cretins".

    Yes they are. Intelligent people are cognizant of what is going on around them, dumb one's aren't.

    I take you for a dumb one.

    For the unintelligent who are not cognizant of what is going on around them:

    https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/11/21/disneys-woke-crusade-is-costing-it-dearly/

    A leaked internal video from earlier this year shows that Disney’s woke turn is very much part of a top-down agenda. Disney corporate president Karey Burke, herself a proud mother of ‘one transgender child and one pansexual child’, has lobbied for Disney to include ‘many, many, many LGBTQIA characters’ in its stories. She has even called for 50 per cent of Disney characters to be either ‘LGBTQIA’ or racial minorities.

    I was hearing the revoking Disney tax district was really going to cost Florida taxpayers

    So profiting $25m is losing your ass.

    Edit: my exhaustive research shows that TS3 has grossed over $1b.

    The stock price is kicking ass! Reached a peak of nearly $198 in July 2021, and now down below $100. You'd think with streaming and with everyone sitting at home, things would be going well. But Toy Story! Lol.

    My god you suck at this.

    “Disney gross profit for the quarter ending September 30, 2022 was $0.542B, a 91.25% decline year-over-year.
    Disney annual gross profit for 2022 was $6.77B, a 69.62% decline from 2021.”

    You must have gotten a business degree where Herr Dazzler got his law degree. (If you and him have degrees)
    So TS3 is the reason for Disney’s Q3 results.

    Truly the Magic Kingdom.

    Toy Story 3 wasn’t the Pixar movie where the lesbos kissed, but carry on.

    The buzz light year movie had the hot gay sex and it bombed

    You are the one who said outlaying $200m years in advance of a $25m return was good business.

    Lightyear was the movie I was referencing not TS3. My mistake. There was no LGBFU kissing scene in TS3 and benny knew that. He thinks he has a gotcha moment and the other idiot thinks that a 25 million return on a 200 million investment is a winning strategy in Hollywood.

    But thank you benny for one thing, TS3 was a non-woke cartoon from 2010. It cost $200 million and made a billion. Substantiating my point about disney's self destruction.

    Risking $200 to make $25 bucks is not a wise investment for a business by anyone's standards. Lets hope you aren't the family member in charge of managing your mothers retirement money.

    Benny is a top line revenue guy.

    Definitely not a Disney/Pixar animated movie guy like Bend. He's got that shit dialed in...

    TS3 is actually a super based movie about akshully fighting fascists.
