It didn't gain them subscribers and viewership was low for both.

Cramer never invests his own money... That's the point of his shtick - he get you to invest yours and he bets accordingly.

So all of this for the board to save their own skin?

I'm not so sure Chapek was drowning the company. He was pushing the revenue of the ONE resource that was still profitable to prop up the other divisions that weren't. If Andor/Lightyear/Rise of Skywalker/Solo/Soul/Turning Red/Wakanda Forever/ESPN/ABC had been profitable this wouldn't have been...

No, I ignored NOTHING - you're trying to equate a 2x doubling when you had 2 YEARS of eyeballs wanting 104 WEEKS of new content that didn't materialize and most of it wasn't that good. And, yes, I'm well aware of how long it takes to create content. That they concentrated on mega-movies rather...

Streaming services are already dead. People only use them because A> they were forced to because of the pandemic and b> they needed something to replace cable. Roku is floundering and that's the canary in the coalmine. You're seeing a backlash of people WANTING to socialize and not be stuck...

No, really, I don't. He'll do enough to save his own bacon but recapturing the company requires a top to bottom think that this weatherman is NOT capable of handling (though i'll be impressed if he does)

Wow... a whole 2 movies per year (and not good ones at that)... You don't DO massive movies on a streaming service that measures in WEEKS, let alone MONTHS before the attention span dissipates.

they've also trimmed down experiences in both the parks and resorts. The resorts should be expanded with MORE entertainment and restaurants and instead they just added more rooms and dumbed down the experiences - but I directly blame Chapek for that although it was under Iger's watch. The fact...

And you call yourself a nerd... please hand over your agonizer...

Really... bring Michael Eisner back... What's the worst that could happen?

I do - they should go back to the MCU shows they created for Netflix

I don't think you understand how the real world works. corps/CEOs must have justifications for mass layoffs, especially entrenched ones in Disney, because they will go to the courts to demand their jobs back if they felt they were unjustly removed. The Board LIKED things the way they were...

I dunno - aside from Strange Worlds, DisneyCorp seems to have abandoned their animation division and ceded it to Pixar who's not even firing on all cylinders these days and BOTH take a back seat to Star Wars/Marvel/Avatar.

Like a Futurama jar? Maybe Walt's?

Maybe. I feel like Feige has made certain production decisions under duress.

It's just completely mindboggling. Disney, aside from any other company was ready to provide massive amounts of content to an audience that was locked up in their homes. They had not only 1, not 2 but THREE animation divisions (including their television animation division) that could've...

Look - you can astroturf it all you want but Chapek was laying the ground work to CUT STAFF - that's standard corporation procedure. I'm surprised you didn't just attack it because it was a 'faux news' article.

But it affects appearance/value of the parks AND the corp as a whole. if Iger didn't realize how important that was to the company's appearance and PR value then that's on him, too.

Wakana Forever might've been enough - but, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Iger have complete creative control over the studios until earlier this year?
