RIP Walt.
Quality entertainnment for the whole family meant to last for generations is no longer “core to Disney” either. They should expand their pedo operatyions and start selling “Child’s Groom-O-Matic” at the local TarGay.
So glad I visited Disneyland in the 60s as a kid. It truly was one of the happiest places on Earth.
We used to visit Disneyland a lot prior to the mid-2000s. We always had a good time. Then, around 2005 or so, we noticed that Disneyland became a place for locals to have their kids baby-sat while they worked elsewhere. Without the parents around, these kids/teens were out of control. We haven’t been since, and our kid has no plans to return there when they have kids.
This guy's just a bit older than me and can't figure out what's core to Disney?
I remember watching The Wonderful World of Disney & the Mouseketeers of old as a child. Couldn't wait for them to come on. There's your core Bob. Same as what you probably watched as well. (Had to get Annette in there. My fav. ;O))

If Ben Schapiro launches a takeover bid and looks for crowdfunding, I’m in for $10.
Disney needs to be fumigated from top to bottom. My only reservation about Disney being sold, however, is that a healthy ecosystem in the tv/movie space needs more, not fewer, studios and distribution platforms. Independent studios that enjoy enough success to grow automatically become takeover targets. Sooner or later, the founders will be ready to cash out and retire, and when that time comes, no one else can hope to match the deep pockets of the Borg.
The streamers overexpanded. In the process, they bought out most of the legacy studios, largely to gain control of their vast libraries of older movies and shows. We now have a handful of giant corporations, all hopelessly woke and all with aspirations of being the cinematic WalMart to the world, dominating everything from project development to production to distribution.
Now the streaming bubble has burst and consolidation is the order of the day. We are heading towards a system in which three giants are the gatekeepers.
Maybe the should sell Disney to the porn industry where it belongs
“The three businesses that will drive the greatest growth over the next five years, he said, are the company’s film studios, theme parks and streaming video.”
aren’t those the very three that are crashing and burning?
