2023 Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting Of Shareholders

[ToTBellHop]

I do hope Bob purchased his Genie+ before noon today…

Shocked they didn't push TBA as part of their "Inclusion" along the lines of "In an effort to be more inclusive we're butchering a classic bringing Tiana's story to life. Come spend on TBA when it opens in late 2024"

 

[Disney Analyst]

Iger is very good at handling these people - well done.

It was a good response. Balanced, without adding to the fire this person was trying to light.

 

[Vinnie Mac]

Heard Iger say that they were investing $17 billion into WDW over the next 10 years. Will this money be going towards the "big projects" people on here keep teasing? And how much was invested over the last 10 years compared to this?

 

[Kamikaze]

Another political 'concern' about being pro-gay and pro-abortion.

Go woke go broke.

!!!

At what point does the 'going broke' start? Like, is there a timeline?

2019 - $4.1b capex on parks
2021 - $2.3b capex on parks

To be clear - those numbers are for all the parks that TWDC controls or partially controls, not just WDW. So $1.7b/year for 10 years for WDW alone is significant.

Between that video and the calls fielded, can only imagine how this would have all gone over with Bob the Lesser.

I guess it's records being broken? Because every employer I've ever worked with has had productivity and sales increases coincide 3-6 months after implementing DEI initiatives.

 

[Love Ft Wilderness]

I guess I should have called in and asked when they will issue stock dividends again. There usually is always one caller that does.

He's previously said he asked to reinstate it by the end of 2023.

 

[Touchdown]

I predict an Encanto Live Action Remake in <5 years.

They basically already did it at Hollywood Bowl.

 

[mkt]

He has the bod, but I’m not sold on the hair.

Just wait until they announce Beauty and the Beast: Remake of the Remake

Beauty and the Beast: The Threemake.

Also, those figures include depreciation, which can be in the billions.

Thank you. I had not heard of that.

 

[RSoxNo1]

NY: Disney is all woke now!!! Groomers of children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAY MEN'S CHORUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GAY PRIDE PARADES IN THE PARKS!!!!!!!!!! PARENTS ARE FED UP!!!!!!!!!11 THIS WHY YOU'RE GOING BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iger: We're accessible to all people. Some perspective... our stories have had a positive effect, good over evil, family values, etc...

Yes, some perceived agenda-driven content. But, we're really entertainment driven. We're not going to please everyone, while being aware of their concerns. But we're going to continue to tell stories of greater acceptance.

Chapek would have called them fat.
