In a thread discussing the firing of Disney's CEO, you don't think it's valid to discuss the quality and performance of movies made during his tenure?

Not like Iger does either.

I don’t really care, except for the fact that people on here are posting misinformation (surprise, surprise!) about Disney films.

Honestly I don't know. What I do know is how Iger has run things for 15yrs. The problems with Chapek are the same with Iger. If it was someone new, I would say wait and see. But not in this scenario.

Zootopia+? Andor? The new Disney+ Mickey shorts?

Don't care for any of that. Not into Star Wars at all and don't like cartoons.

If they can just get rid of that stupid reservation system now, I would return. Do we think Iger might be open to that?

I'm not betting on this happening but if we were to ever get a 5th gate ANYTIME soon then I believe our best chances are with Iger.
These new patents for ride tech Disney have been doing for awhile now seem interesting too...
It remains to be seen if the board and the new old boss understand that the crisis of confidence in the brand extends beyond Hollywood and Wall Street, but like I said earlier today, I think that a negative perception of domestic park operations might have finally breached containment beyond the digital walls of forums and niche communities like this one. If Q1 financials for the park come in soft but the country does not fall into a recession by the time earnings for the quarter are announced, that would be the most salient evidence that the parks need a course correct just like media. You would have to stem the bleeding immediately and restore soon after, or the division could spiral and take the company with it.
This is complete wish casting and probably will not happen but here goes: I can't think of something that would restore consumer confidence in the company quite like rolling out a massive, 11-figure capital improvement plan that touches every domestic park once interest rates come back down, and hopefully by the 100th anniversary of the company.
Like I said, complete wishcasting on my part. But it seems like wishcasting worked out well for some people in the last 24 hours, so let's see if this one works too.

Bob will be a little busy plugging a 1.5B hole to manage the parks, they will be left to the park managers.
He also has to do all those interviews looking for his replacement........

It was fantastic for hard core Beatles fans, but I think complete tedium for everyone else ("When does this thing finally end?", said wifey to me quite often while I watched it).

No just not my thing.
How could anybody dislike watching cartoons?
No. Iger repeatedly talked about how GSAT goes down in an overcrowded park. That hurts the brand. People spend less.

That's a huge shame, you are really missing out on some animated decent content both past and present!
I would add the Animal Kingdom series, Mysterious Benedict Society and the Muppets Haunted Mansion special!
