Good point. The "five tiles" of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, LucasFilm, and NatGeo was a big focus in the development process.
If the content is stuff that isn't adding value to the best family streaming platform there is, then why would anyone else be willing to pay for it?
...and I'd like to turn the rest of this call over to John Cena. John?
The boy band thing wasn't necessarily alienating, it just seemed like a very superficial thing to base the emotional pivot of the movie on. The main character is trying to find her independence from her family and the way she sees going forward is... by seeing a boy band in concert.
Hmm. Note, I haven't seen the movie. However, I grew up in the PacNW and had multiple Asian friends, and one of them in particular has always stayed me because of the hardline her family, took vs other families, including Asian families. My first experience was inviting her to a Halloween party in 6th grade. My Mom tried several times to talk to assuage concerns so that she could attend. What we would be doing, what we wouldn't be doing. Her father really did not want his daughter trick-or-treating and didn't trust American parents would *actually* mean no. Asked about her coming late, leaving early. But no. Given that me and my friend group were the ones the teachers loved because of how straight arrows we were, my Mom had a hard time understanding how little trust we were given. This continued throughout school including denying his daughter the freedom to attend an out-of-state college to where she had earned a full-ride academic scholarship. Last time, I saw her was some very non-father approved activities near her father-approved campus. Her father might have said, "See this is why I do what I do." While others would see the rebellion at the first opportunity as a natural reaction. She's a neurologist so that little rebellion didn't hurt, but I do wonder what her life would have been like if she had been allowed to pursue her dreams instead of her father's expectations. She was one of the smartest girls in my class, and wings being clipped like that, and the display of lack of trust... It bothered me then and it bothers me now.
Something else was hastily scheduled for tomorrow afternoon as well- not for political revenge I'm sure.

Soul was very good, but it felt very adult in tone and theme. I can't imagine most children would want to rewatch it again and again.Not out of the question. I mean, we are talking about two guys who have held on to their power long after they should have given it up.
'Soul' was good yet missed ... something... that prevents it from being a bigger hit. I enjoyed 'Luca'. 'Turning Red' was atrociously bad. I still don't understand the appeal of 'Encanto'.
What do you know???
Nintendo has a Direct starting at 5 pm... hopefully all of the interesting stuff from the Disney call will happen within the first 30 mins...
What the hell, I thought it was at 2. Who announces things in Pacific Time first?
I think Nintendo USA is Pacific time zone
So is The Walt Disney Company, but they still write their start times like normal people.
