That's a false dichotomy. Can do both adult and children and family content at the same time.
Sudden drop in audio. No outro except computer voice saying it's over and you can now disconnect.

I’m not at all surprised that Bob cited Toy Story 5 as an example of the company’s creativity, nor that he didn’t expect that the theme parks would be busy during spring break. He’s completely out of touch with the needs of the company, but institutional investors sure seem to like him.
WRT to a Figment movie or short... remember: Iger at a stockholder meeting surprisingly announced a change in the name of DHS sort of off the cuff. Which never happened.
So... this off the cuff announcement about Figment....

So, this has been going on for the past 3, or 5, or 10 years.
When do you think this implosion will happen? 3 years from now? 5? 10?

It has been happening for 10 years now, but the pandemic provided a lot of cover.
Disney is simply becoming a non 'hot' stock. Its growth is sluggish compared to the S&P 500. At some point major investors will demand better.
They're probably just waiting to see who the new CEO will be before they get really grumpy.

I predict that if they go through with the removal of RoA for Cars at MK, it will be one of those rare DCA 1.0 moments when EVERYONE who goes there will say, "Well, this was a stupid change." Even if the ride itself is a popular hit, the removal of what guests have been trained to expect from a castle park for 70+ years will make a dent in the heart of even the most insensitive park goer.
It will give the average joes their own little "But I liked the Animation Tour" or "But I liked Horizons" moment. It wouldn't be as much of a nostalgic-breaking earthquake as tearing down the Haunted Mansion, but it will, like DCA 1.0, be noted by average people (and pop culture).
(Of course, unlike DCA, it won't be skewered by the Simpsons. It will probably be South Park or something like that.)
And when that happens, that's when narratives really start to shift. DCA 1.0 was one of the straws that broke Eisner. If RoA is replaced with Cars, it will either increase the demands to replace Iger (who honestly could still be in when it opens) or it will make the new CEO do a lot of "My predecessor did things that we're not going to do anymore."

@MisterPenguin it's been like an hour since we've had affirmation on Villains land and most of their projects, do you think they've probably cancelled it?
Only Tarzan knows for sure.

Still no news on CEO succession.
"Bob, when can we expect to hear more about the succession planning you promised was happening?"
