It was obvious that the live action remakes would damage Disney's brand eventually, just like the Cheap DTV sequels did, but Bob Iger is greedy and started repeating Eisner's mistakes in his last years as CEO. “History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” Unfortunately Roy Disney isn't...

Marc Platt will be okay thanks to Wicked.

@The Mom said that this wasn't allowed in here.

It was the most frustrating remake of them all. The original is pretty much perfect story wise, they didn't need to add crap about women not allowed to read (which was historically inaccurate, the original Beauty and the Beast was published for women), the parents' backstory, the plague, the...

You need to take into consideration the additional money Disney had to pay for security for Gal Gadot thanks to miss Zegler and add it to the film's budget.

Eisner drove Disney Animation to the ground. Sabotaged theatrical films like Treasure Planet and had Disney Toons make cheap sequels that devalued hand drawn animation, worse he released some of them in theaters and that severely damaged Disney's brand. Roy Disney is what saved Disney for a...

It's a disaster!

Anyone who follows people from the industry could tell you that there has been a purge from Hollywood in the last 10 years or so and they started hiring Tumblrers instead, which is why most movies have been terrible lately, and not just from Disney, but in general.
