Yeah, I saw a lot of gossip and slander and rumors but no criminal or civil charges. Given the obvious Game of Thrones mentality in the Disney exec offices we've seen over the past 2 years, I think we can also entertain notions of backstabbing and power grabs by the other execs using dirty tricks.

I think Lassiter might've made a great CEO - and that might be why he's not there anymore...

hah - didn't read down far enough!

Barq's does! Barq's Rootbeer has bite! :P

I'm presuming (and from what I've read) it WAS excellent and worth the rep before the dining plan era

Yeah - I'll agree with that - though I don't think of Disney Springs' places as your typical "QS" place but normal, high end, mall fare. It's not a recent thing either, I've been going for about the past 10 years and when I first went was looking forward to some of the restaurants at the...

Sorry, I call BS on this. QS is no better or worse than any fast food place and at an exponentially higher price. All dining at WDW has been surprisingly subpar for its reputation (and cost).

And how easily people can be manipulated.

Doubt that. That's why Chapek is out.

Chapek being fired. if it did so well, why is Disney+ in trouble and why was Chapek fired.

I know the Good Dinosaur had its issues in production and I didn't like it overall - and the final director tried to salvage the movie with the right beats and a few cute scenes but, ultimately, it doesn't work as I don't think the underlying thematic material works (though i like the human as...

people catching up? It was a failure on all counts and, if it was such a success, why is Chapek being fired now?

Oh heavens no! Though I respect the artists' attempt at Good Dinosaur :D I do NOT own a copy of it (or Home on the Range)

Only at the beginning of the series, not the end when it lost viewership.

It's not a great movie but Meet the Robinsons grows on me with each viewing. (unlike, say, Treasure Planet)

Selling the content you need to maintain a streaming monopoly is a fireable offence in this day and age...

the FCC is well on its way to 'spinning down' broadcast TV. But unless you've got new content on streaming I think more and more people are going to own their own personal collection of digital movies that can be played on demand (hough not through a streaming service). I'm not sure how it's...

At one point I would've thought that Streaming would replace movies... but now I think it's only going to replace TV.. if THAT. (and by that I mean we'll own our own digital libraries of movies and stream our own, owned, content as prices increase then go to the movies along with 1 or 2...

Agreed - Disney would make great AppleTV content... A sad state of affrairs but... (and, I believe, Iger explored that at one point with Steve Jobs!)

Does he? Or did he sell that to you and Chapek was the one demanding a splash mountain redo?
