#Disney Layoffs

[pink-cheese-puffs]

Disney has just layed off 7,000 people. How tf are they making Frozen 3, Zootopia 2 AND Toy Story 5.

[randomlikeliness]

7.000 fucking lay-offs and terrible movies, congrats Disney.

[brisingr-sword]

since disney decided to lay off 7k workers its time to share this again - dont watch anything disney legally :)

Alright since Disney staff and employees are staging a walkout from March 15th to the 22nd and are encouraging viewers not to watch legally(since that would benefit Disney), here's some sites you can go to to watch new episodes of TGAMM, The Owl House, Big City Greens, and Amphibia.

https://www.theowlclub.net/ (there are show logos on the side of the site to lead you to either TGAMM or Amphibia)

https://kimcartoon.li/ (This is the ONLY real kimcartoon domain, if the kimcartoon you find doesn't redirect you to .li or say .li, immediately stop using it, also use an adblocker)

Edit:

Goblin064 was Thanos snapped away during the Olm Town Road episode, the twitch ban is temporary, only 48 hours, but due to this, unless someone else decides to willingly take the 3rd torch, no more streams to Twitch from Goblin064 specifically. The Discord watchalongs will still be there though so here's a link to Amphibia Discord https://discord.gg/DJUqDnE and The Owl House Discord https://discord.gg/TheOwlHouse

These "tax write-offs" don't point to how streaming companies are losing money...

...rather to how much money they can afford to burn.

Like... movies cost tons of money.

A TV episode alone costs tons of money.

Anti-Union exploitation may be part of the production but pouring so much into something that may only see the light of day for a week if at all is a waste.

A waste of art that these companies claim to value and a waste of money that they sunk into these projects.

All those titles they wrote off? They could've made them that sweet, sweet green that makes them squirt in their slacks.

But nooooooo, it's the threat they and their shareholder overloads hold whenever they have to see numbers go down in their personal bank accounts.

It's about conceding to those they consider "beneath them" that their wrongdoings aren't "just business."

NatGeo Lays Off More Writers. :(

In probably the saddest news for me this week, National Geographic has layed off the last remaining staff writers. It was a matter of time, I suppose, with the Internet shaking things up for better and worse, and with National Geographic being a business – but how many of us have really considered National Geographic a business? In many ways, it is akin to the BBC in showing us our world, so…

Disney layoffs

[howtotrainyouragents]

Dear Disney, in regards to your decision to increase Disney+ prices (again) to $16: YOU JUST MADE OVER A BILLION DOLLARS AT THE BOX OFFICE TWICE. WHY.

[wolfertinger666]

I'm actually really really happy that the Moana sequel was garbage. it was originally a Disney+ show but was Frankenstein'd into a movie with a theatrical release.

i hope Disney as a corporation explodes for the unjust business practices such as crunch time and unfair layoffs

like, it's getting more obvious for both critics and fans alike, that Disney is so heavily money driven that a majority of their works are churning out like slop. they're so obviously past their prime, especially considering they value consumerism over art expression.

Oh, that's shitty

[inflagrante-delicatessen]

I think two other things that happened in the Disney-Florida relationship are important for context:

Pretty much contemporaneously with the initial DSG bill, Disney opened/was opening a massive facility for its (mostly IT) employees. iirc, it was something like 75k estimated jobs.

Disney's employees kept going on strike/protesting for like an hour/day for a week during the period of time between "Disney donated/backs Desantis and therefore DSG" and "Bob Iger does a PR statement and walks it back"

Disney vs. DeSantis is so funny because it's like. Neither side even wanted to get into this. Here's how it's supposed to go: Politician does something stupid. Corporation disavows politician after public pressure. Politician disavows the disavowing. Nothing changes for either party.

But then the Florida governor got stars in his eyes. He saw an opportunity to bolster his standing before the presidential primary. He wanted to be the one who took on The Mouse and won. So in retaliation he decides he's going to tear down the decades-old agreement Disney has to govern Disney World's district.

And just like that, Disney's batshit insane legal department turns towards Florida like the Eye of Sauron spotting the ring at Mount Doom. They smell potential lost profit. They smell blood.

Disney will use any and every strategy they've accumulated over the last century of lobbying congress and DeSantis can't back down lest he admit Mickey Mouse kicked his ass. He lost control of Disney World's district even more than he already had. Now he's getting sued.

This all started because Disney was pressured into backtracking their political contributions to Florida and disavowing the Don't Say Gay law. Now they're fighting for something they actually care about: their profit margin. Disney is not an ally to queer people and they're an enemy to progressives, but damn am I rooting for them to keep humiliating the greater evil for the time being. This is high comedy.

HULU LAYS OFF WORKERS…IN CHINA!!!!

Why it the world would be a good idea in the first place for Communist China to have a research and development team in China for Disney owned Hulu shows just how stupid this is. With all the data going through them I find this disturbing in the first place. Hulu is not even streaming in China, so why in the hell did they have access to development and research with Hulu’s algorithms. Someone…
