Here’s how Disney describes the first episode:

In our premiere episode of How Happy Happens, meet Todd Tedsen, the resourceful props crew chief at the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Show Spectacular. Inspired by his interactions with an Entertainment technician at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Todd discovered his aptitude for the entertainment industry, propelling him into a fulfilling career where he crafts and manages every detail, ensuring each show is an unforgettable adventure.

Years ago, this kind of thing would have been on The Disney Channel.

Obviously, the entertainment world is different, but with these longer than blips, you would think that this would be for series on Disney Plus for content.

Yet they know it can make more off of YouTube and attention.

Why would it not be content for Disney Plus since there now exists a platform to be instant and compete?

It would have been a hour-long 20+ episode series IMO. And probably lost to time like most early DC programing.


I don't know. Dateline Disney were really successful, and were only like 8 minutes a bump.
Disney Channel also had Imagineer That, which were very short.
So it seems exactly like that.

Disney Channel only ever gave entire show blocks to the parks and resorts with Inside Out. And was only a half hour each.

So I am not sure where you got the comparison from?

Also, Disney Plus does not require any time limits or constraints.

I think it is telling this lower budget stuff goes on Youtube.

They aren't going to make enough money to move any needles with youtube. Making $1000 off a 2 million views isn't squat to them.

This is marketing... not profit.
Interesting. I thought the YT money was a bit more than that, but apparently I was wrong. Yeah, this would then be nothing more than marketing.
