I’m surprised how much Disney and Pixar has changed at making good original movies. They just keep milking the ol popular movie cows until there is nothing left to squeeze from sequels to live action movies. I get they think it’s an easy buck but surely there’s some original talent left in the animation movie department right?

Disney/Pixar films have really not produced many "good", memorable villains of late. I mean not actual villains that are not just an overbearing family member, one's own inner demons, or fear itself.

Rumor has it Elsa’s daughter will also run an “employee-owned” business after kicking Oaken out.
...more timeless, more relevant, more family, and more familiar Disney..

That seems to keep happening. I think ESPN+ has beat D+ every quarter since they announced the NHL deal.
NHL games and college softball are the only reasons I watch ESPN+.

There is no reason to sell off ESPN. It's still a massive profit machine.

Someone should tell that to the leadership at the Los Angeles Times, as this is the front page story today for them.
Bob Iger announces 7,000 job cuts at Disney, signals 'significant transformation'
The earnings report came as Walt Disney Co. faces a challenge from an outsider, billionaire investor Nelson Peltz, who is seeking election to join the board.

I've also tuned in to the big talk radio station in LA via iheartradio app, and the words "Disney announced it is laying off 7,000 employees!" are being stated repeatedly on the airwaves of the second biggest media market in the nation. I imagine this will also be the top story for the 5 o'clock news on all the LA stations as well in a couple hours.
They're calling them "layoffs", not "eliminating open headcount".

7k layoffs isn't a huge amount in all honesty, especially in light of some of the other big corporate layoffs that have happened in the past few months. Disney is a pretty massive employer as well.

A 3500 job reduction in marketing I assume means a lot of internal marketing functions will be outsourced to agencies

those aren't the roles, those are the areas they are reducing cost in

No you're mixing two different things. 50% of the non-content cost reductions are marketing. Not 50% of the job eliminations are marketing.

It's possible that they're all layoffs, but Bob chose his words carefully and by the way he phrases it, it's not NECESSARILY all layoffs.Someone should tell that to the leadership at the Los Angeles Times, as this is the front page story today for them.

It was interesting that Bob said the previous regime looked into selling ESPN.

Even Disney's own news division, ABC News, is using the phrase layoffs in their national news coverage.
If Disney didn't want these layoffs to be called layoffs, they should have sent a memo or something.

Any chance ESPN jumps in if Sinclair goes belly up and the RSN deals with MLB, NBA, and NHL fall apart?
