I would like to know why Disney is obsessed with Moana. They’ve shoved it in one park and one hotel it didn’t belong in, are planning on doing it in another park, and seem to push it every chance they get. It seems OK at best.

It was popular with little kids. Like really popular. They still have merchandise for it.

The Little Mermaid’s initial projections are pretty bad. And Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is looking to open well under Guardians 2’s launch.
The world building in the Little Mermaid is weird. Now the mermaids are all protectors of their own sovereign seas. It looks like North America doesn’t exist in this world, and South America has been reduced to a bigger Caribbean.
The thing with making the mermaids into guardians is edging really close to the premise of Dreamworks’ Ruby Gillman. In that film, krakens are the defenders of the sea, and mermaids are evil.

Florida’s countersuit against Disney is getting very interesting. DeSantis has expanded the scope of the lawsuit beyond the board’s 11th hour self-deal.
No news outlets are covering this, it seems. This is probably the best article I’ve found covering the situation, and it completely ignores the legal arguments being made. The only other things I could find from today were a bunch of boosters making the usual claims that Disney is playing 5D chess against DeSantis. They also leave their readers uninformed regarding the legal situation.

Mickey Views on youtube has covered it reasonably well, just be aware his comments are a cesspool of Disney adults.

Guardians 3 had a rough opening weekend. A lot of outlets are spinning it as a success, since it came in above the lowest estimates. As they tell it, it made $118m out of $110m estimated. It was initially projected to come in at $140m, and even that was concerning, because it was under Guardians 2’s opening, and Guardians 3 is much more expensive. Things just got worse as the estimates dropped through the $130 and $120 million ranges.
Guardians 3’s budget is officially $250m, and if it tracks like a normal MCU film, it’ll struggle to break $500m globally. At this point, it’s counting on Top Gun: Maverick-like holds to leg-out to a profitable box office take.

Disney’s Q2 earnings call was today. Bob Iger sloppily removed all barriers between RCID and Disney again. His own words are likely to show up as evidence in Florida’s case against Disney. It also seems like Iger threatened Florida in one of his answers.
“I noted that our plans are to invest 17 billion over the next 10 years, which is what the state should want us to do. We operate responsibly. We pay our fair share of taxes. We employ 1000s of people and by the way, we pay them above the minimum wage substantially above the minimum wage dictated by the state of Florida. We also provide them with great benefits and free education. So I’m going to finish was obviously kind of a long answer by asking one question does the state want us to invest more, employ more people and pay more taxes? or not,” Iger concluded.

Disney+ lost subscribers for the second quarter in a row. The projection had been that they’d gain around two million subscribers over last quarter. Instead, they lost four million more. Last quarter was notably the first net loss in subscribers Disney+ had suffered since launching in 2019, and that was only 2.4 million subs lost. Disney stock dropped nearly 9% on the news, and it’s back under $100 per share.

Marvel is killing Kamala Khan in the upcoming Spider-Man issue. Since it’s a comic book, death is roughly as inconvenient as a cold, and there’s half a chance they’ll dig her up in a few months with new powers and a chosen one destiny. The audience Marvel has been cultivating doesn’t read comics, and they don’t know that characters come back all the time. Twitter is alight with people crying sexism and racism, because Kamala being brown means that she can’t ever be part of normal storytelling.
If this is Marvel dumping Kamala like they did Captain Marvel for all those years, it’s deserved. The character was never popular, and has almost as many failed runs as Captain Marvel herself. But if this is the start of a Kamala storyline, Disney Marvel has set a terrible precedent for themselves. Their idiot Twitter followers don’t know how comics work. They’ll think that Kamala being brought back is because they successfully bullied the company into bowing to them. They will feel emboldened to act even worse toward the company in the future.

We have another family brawl at the Magic Kingdom. These have become a regular occurrence in recent years. At this point, it’s just a question of how many times it’ll happen in a given summer.

I heard they had eliminate street entertainment. It seems it is just pro-bono now.

Disney’s Galactic Starcruiser hotel is shutting down this September. It’s only been open since March 2022.

I’m glad “exclusivity” failed. They should have made a normal hotel with a Star Wars theme instead of a pay-to-play cruise on land, but Disney isn’t satisfied with just most of the money. They want it all.

Indiana Jones 5 had its debut at Cannes. Even that friendly crowd of insiders ended up giving it a rotten rating.
Disney officially cancelled its initiative from last year of moving 2,000 employees from California to a private community in Florida. The media is spinning this as a disaster for Florida, but even Disney’s employees hated the plan. And one fewer city ruled by Disney in the world is a good thing.

Disney is planning on removing a bunch of shows and movies from it’s streaming services, some of which have no alternative sources of availability.

This is making me think of that time when Unreal Gold and UT99 got taken off of Steam AND GOG by Epic for hare-brained reasons. Torrenting rates will skyrocket.

The unintended downside for Disney might be if it doesn’t. You can fake views on your streaming service, but you can’t fake lack of interest in seeding.
