Well Disney could, but most likely won’t happen is cancel the theatrical release of Wish & Once Upon a Studio, and put them on Disney+

Looks like there won't be anymore marketing for Wish at this rate due of the writers and actors on strike:
The strike does not affect the overall marketing of this movie especially since its animated.
Also depending on the length of the strike the marketing may not have ever started yet anyways by the time its over.
Well, how do we know if the strike end? In August maybe?

Its unknown how long the strike will last. However given that Hollywood is now completely shutdown I don't think it'll be too long.
We're still 4 months away from Wish's release. The major marketing wouldn't have likely started until end of August/beginning of September anyways. So there is a little over a month before any "potential" issue with marketing if there was any to begin with.
Besides there isn't anything for you to specifically worry about anyways.
Okay, but those executives better hurry up and get this negotiation done. Thanks though.

Nope. Variety and a number of industry sources say that both sides won't return to the table until at least October. The goal is to drag the strikes out towards Christmas, where the writers would be at risk of losing apartments or homes after 5 months of not working, and the actors/actresses would begin getting antsy because of that.
No one is going to be talking seriously until Halloween, at the earliest it seems. This is going to take awhile. Thank God for YouTube.
Hollywood Studios’ WGA Strike Endgame Is To Let Writers Go Broke Before Resuming Talks In Fall
The 2023 scribes' strike could go a lot longer than the 2008 labor action if executives have their way

This article is over two months old now, and things look even bleaker in July than they did in May, but might this one be more helpful?
‘It’s Going to Be a While’: No End in Sight for Hollywood Strike
The writers and entertainment companies remain far apart on several key issues, including money, and the standoff could last for months.

Hate to break it to you, but bad things always happen no matter what time period it is. Its a part of life and one just have to accept that things like this happen.
Also this is not the end of the world. Wish is still likely to release in November. And any marketing push will be done with existing commercials if new ones can't be made due to the strikes.
So relax and breath.
I’m sorry, it’s been a rough time for me right now. Thanks.

You know what? I need a break from this! This is getting very discouraging! I hate this decade! I wish I was in a time loop from 80’s and 90’s where bad things never happen! More or less! The pandemic and the strikers are ruining my life!
Don't worry, the past is never as rosy we remember it.
There was a big Hollywood strike that shut down production in the early 1980's and again around 1988.
I remember the early 80's one the best because it lasted a long time and the fall started and they still had to play summer reruns into Christmas. This was before Cable and when you would have to rent your VCR from Blockbuster in a big plastic suitcase, so your entertainment options were slim to none during that early 80's strike. I think I watched the entire 10 seasons of The Carol Burnett Show on reruns on a local independent channel during that strike. That at Twilight Zone were all they had.
This happens every 10 or 15 years. It's just this one seems particularly divisive, is a double strike, and looks to drag on for a long time.

Disney's Japanese Posters are always wonderful to see. Loved the Japanese Poster from Zootopia where it focused more on Judy Hopps' adjusting to life in Zootopia.Japanese Poster:
I kind of feel better a little bit, but I'm still very concern. I know this strike will end somehow, but I wish those executives just hurry up and negotiate, so that I don't continue for being stressed and depressed. And I hate it when I say it's the end of Disney or this is Disney's worst 100th anniversary ever, even though I don't believe what I said. I need to find a way to stay positive.

This is objectively Disney's best 100th anniversary yet.

If the strike does continue, and it interfere with marketing, and promoting Disney would just move Wish, and Once Upon a Studio as Disney+ originals. I know it won’t happen, but still.
Um, as much as I feel your concern, but I don't think it's going happen. I mean, people going on strike sucks, but I think it'll end when autumn begins. Also, don't act like me. It's not worth it. I'm just having a bad day.
I appreciate you're trying to cheer me up. Thanks.This is objectively Disney's best 100th anniversary yet.

The writers' strike never affected Wish because Animation writers are not part of the Writers Guild. In addition, it would be extremely sad if Wish's screenplay wasn't completed at this point, but I know that that could be a possibility considering that Jennifer Lee is the screen writer.
