Have they? Please give examples. I want to see some of these (or are we just talking about animated films?)
Are we just talking Films? Just theatrical? This is complicated... but here's some examples...
"Original" Films released/upcoming by Disney:
- Crater (Disney+)
- Chang Can Dunk (Disney+)
- Strange World (Theatrical, Animated)
- Rise (Disney+)
- Hollywood Stargirl (Disney+)
- Better Nate than Ever (Disney+)
- Turning Red (Disney+, Animated)
- Elemental (Theatrical, Animated)
- Wish (Theatrical, Animated)
- The Creator (Theatrical, 20th Century)
- Encanto (Theatrical, Animated)
- Luca (Disney+, Animated)
They've also produced tons of original TV shows/docuseries, etc for Hulu and Disney+. Have all of them been successful, no. But they are "investing".
What you all are really arguing is that there haven’t been many successful “original” films/TV shows, which more proves the opposite of what you are arguing. But this is the wrong thread to really delve into all of this.
