If you watched the video of McCarthy I posted, you all would have seen her with dismay point out how Wall Street expects the unrealistic short-term quarter gains. She then went on to say how there needs to be long term investment in the product, even taking risks and not chasing short-term gains.

And she talks about being in the room with all the creatives and helping them create good product and to keep in mind that's what the company is all about.

But who wants that in a CEO if she once made a bad joke out portion sizes?

Yeah they all say the things people want to hear.

I only care about what they do.

An absolutely must-see from Christine McCarthy if you want to gauge her credentials and, if you must, her actual looks. The video circles around Disney+ without mentioning it since it wasn't out yet. It also shows that she's very aware of the need for good content and good creatives since it's the heart of what they sell. She's not just a bean-counter looking at short-term gains. [Keep in mind that YouTube allows playing videos at a faster speed.]



And an absolutely must-read (or -listen) regarding the 2-Bob Drama and C-Suite handicapping.

McCarthy did what people wanted every underling to do in the face of bad leadership... Instead of being just a yes person, she went to the Board and threatened to quit unless they fired Chapek.

So, how's that for action?

When the incoming CEO from the outside or inside came in to replace temporary Iger in 2 years and Christine doesn't resign like Mayer, Staggs and Rasulo who were passed over, it is probable when the new guy comes , the first head on the chopping block would be hers.

You might peruse some of the opinions outside of this WDW Magic echo chamber. An alarming majority specifically cite this "woke mentality" as their reason for no longer supporting Disney.

I don’t think this is true. I think it is more nuanced than this anyways.

For example I strongly disagree with the current direction of the company. I am still a DVC member and attend the parks regularly.

I still have Disney plus, however that is only because it’s included in my Hulu subscription.

Movies on the other hand just get avoided.

We use to see every Disney release the weekend it came out, now we don’t. Not even sure if we will go see the new Avatar.

The percentage of people who completely avoid any Disney product at all, like my grandparents who sold their DVC, is small.

I would put it at 10% of the population.

The number of people like me however that pick and choose what to avoid is larger. Disney is already seeing that in recent box office performance.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
