Why ANYONE listens to Cramer who is nothing but a paid (Under the table) shill, is beyond me….Iger is the only one to stay true to Walts visions, not these hacks just looking to monetize everything, without care for the millions of employees who make the magic and consumers!
April 3rd will be interesting to say the least.
My thoughts are…
Bobby I. has already dumped 80% of his Disney stock.
His personal items in his office are getting packed, if they’re not already.
He is getting ready to walk the same path as Bob Paycheck.
As the saying goes, “Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya”.
Who or what can fix Disney and its financial woes? I don’t think pushing more money into the parks is the answer. First, the parks are already so expensive only wealthy people or non-wealthy folks who have saved up for years can attend. And even then, what draws people to the parks are the stories they’ve seen– great stories with memorable characters and soul-touching themes. These stories are what lure people to the parks. Simply throwing more investor money into the parks to add new rides or entertainment is only a stop gap measure and avoids the real issue that needs to be resolved: Spinning a good tale.
Disney+ is vital for the company as are the movies Disney produces. Without quality stories, there is little incentive for folks to want to plunk down a sizable chunk of their salary to go see those stories and their characters come to life at the theme parks.
The problem Disney is facing is the lack of new “great stories.” I have Disney + , and as I scan through the lists of movies and TV shows, I find little quality programming that I haven’t already seen. And the newer movies and shows are lackluster, without focus, meaning, or depth.
Stories are vital. Relying on re-hashing the old masterpieces in live-action is not sufficient without giving the live-action versions a new meaning, purpose, and audience–an older audience. And simply adding on to the animated franchises, pushing them beyond the satisfying closure of their “happily ever after,” is rather like great sports figures who don’t know when to retire and end up ruining their career.
Good stories–GREAT stories–are the only “cure” for Disney’s financial woes. And tales that endure through time and tragedies, through cultural trends and social shifts, through economic upheavels and environmental concerns
–such tales ride above and beyond these things, addressing the deep needs and fears and hopes of humanity. They speak through all the ages, touching us to our very core. And such stories–Great Stories–are never “safe.”
