With an uncertain future, will Disney pull off yet another magic trick?
As Walt Disney Studios turns 100, investors worry it's beginning to show its age. But adapting to the times is not a new challenge for the company.
Walt Disney's share price has dropped to its lowest level in nearly nine years as the company struggles in the age of streaming, causing concern among investors. Throughout its history, Disney has adapted to new technologies and challenges, from embracing sound and color in the early days to later embracing computer-generated animation. Now, as the company turns 100, it faces the challenge of streaming and investors are closely watching how Disney will navigate this new landscape.
Shareholders need to be fired into the sun. All they care about is money, and it’s destroying society.
While the big problems facing humanity are extremely complex and multifaceted meaning the solutions will have to be too, destroying shareholder/investment capitalism would be an incredibly helpful first step. It breeds apathy and self centeredness
With the rapid improvements in the field of rocketry right now, this is quickly becoming a viable option!
If this is your stance, you should hate the company itself, not the shareholders. The company chose to go public and sell part of itself to shareholders in exchange for getting the shareholders more money over time. There's no law or anything forcing a company to go public. There are lots of companies the get giant and still remain private. Just some examples:
- Cargill - agriculture giant
- Fidelity - investment/brokerage
- Cox communications - cable/internet provider
- Publix - grocer
A company chooses to have shareholders. If you have that hate, direct it at that company that made that choice.
They still have shareholders. Public trading only means that the public can trade the shares on the open market.
Nah I think I’ll continue to hate the people that keep this charade going; shareholders. If people didn’t funnel their money into companies and then expect every possible ounce of monetary return on their investment, companies wouldn’t be firing people to stay “profitable” or cutting ingredients in favour of less quality ones.
Remember when the world sold people valuable products that lasted? Shareholders killed that.
Don’t tell me who I need to aim my ire at, I already know. The companies are shareholders themselves, so I hate them both. But only one enables the other.
Sure. Disney's main problem is streaming. It can't possibly be the quality of what they produce. I mean, it's not like they own half of the valuable entertainment IPs in the world, right?

Maybe not be in the sweet spot where LGBQ people think Disney is anti-gay while the MAGAheads think that Disney is brainwashing them into liking same-sex.
Kathleen Kennedy from another dimension is to blame...
That's what South Park says anyway.
Stop making movies to pander to current politics. Instead, go back to making timeless movies that tell a story. Not everything must have a moral.
What movies of theirs pander to current politics and how?
