    Ask then how paying 70 billion for Fox is working out.

    This, in itself, is a very telling reason why Disney has been going in the creative direction that it has, beginning under Iger. Blackrock owns a lot of Disney stock.

    This video went into that. This is a one-sided video against Disney, so notice given...

    A couple suggestions:
    1-Cancel the Disney+ price hikes!
    2-Create a 20th Century Fox channel & put the classic TV shows & movies on there!

    I thought the 1980's were a dark time for Disney. Did anyone see "Something Wicked This Way Comes" in the theater upon release in '83?

    The simple fact is Disney has survived by buying other peoples ideas for years. Pixar Marvel Star Wars. When was the last time Disney had a big hit that was developed completely in house?

    Probably Frozen, and even that had fairy tale roots to it.

    The list is short for recent big hits and 4 of them are re-makes.

    The Lion King (2019), Frozen I & II, Beauty & The Beast (2017), Zootopia (2016), Aladdin (2019), Jungle Book (2016).

    There's a big rumor that just hit today on TheWrap, and I have to admit, it would solve a lot of problems: it'd pay off all of Disney's bills, prop up Apple's streaming service, and combine two of the biggest world corporations who are not already in direct competetition with each other:

    Why Bob Iger’s Ultimate Power Move
    May Be Selling Disney to Apple


    Note this is behind a paywall, but the headline is the gist of the story. And it's not impossible. It's been rumored before that Apple (worth $2.4 trillion dollars) is one of the few companies that could actually afford to buy all of Disney and keep it intact (Disney is currently worth $180 billion).

    As others said streaming is becoming like cable.. Streaming has lost what it was suppose to be.
    When tack on commericals .. it's the end for streaming.

    Unless one is willing to pay money for no commercials. One has a choice.

    Here’s to selling Disney & ending the Star Wars & Marvel franchises that suck up a lot of money to produce & don’t make it back. Kill them, Iger!!!
