Seems weird, how is it a good story under thier terms, if it's about a white family?
Wouldn't a good story under their terms allow it to apply to any family breakdown?
No, I think she was saying that she expected the neighbors to bring in that diversity, but they did not. I don't know if the writer didn't want to change it. Maybe there were no neighbor characters at all, though there usually are. I don't know - it doesn't seem that hard though - there are always many types of characters that can be used.
Ah, I read it as she was saying it wasn't enough. Your right though, it should not be that hard!
Wow. One whole quarter. Let’s just forget about the years of millions ( probably billions) of dollars of losses. That only happened because of the writers strike, in which the actors joined in and guess what Disney wasn’t spending money on making movies and shows.That's not true either. All segments of TWDC were profitable in Q1 2024 except Sports.
Sports was not profitable because of Star India, which they are desperately trying to dump/merge with partners.
Parks just has the momentum (partly due to higher prices, cost cutting like entertainment and guest services and a lack of serious investment at least domestically).

Chapek was the beneficiary of a stock market that valued streaming growth above all else, even if they lost money doing it (and D+ was losing a lot of it).My Disney stock was doing much better under Chapek than Iger after his return.

Star India lost the rights to Cricket which is probably the most popular sport in India, so every one dumped it. So they could watch it on the provider that has it
Parks are down in attendance. Disney is just charging more for everything to make up for it. This is not a sustainable plan if attendance gets smaller and smaller. Remember when Genie + was $15 a day. I do, it’s a lot more now. Guess what is opening up next year in Orlando. A new theme park. Disney is gonna have to do something special to get people to come. Free arrival day water park passes isn’t enough and most will not use them because they can’t. Water parks close at between 6:00 PM, a lot of people arrive too late to use them.
I’m sorry if you think I am anti Disney, I’m not. I own 550 DVC points. I have had an AP since 2017. I own some Disney stock. All I can say is prior to Peltz announcing his proxy fight. My Disney stock was doing much better under Chapek than Iger after his return. Was I a fan of Chapek, no, it looked like he just cut and removed things from the parks. In reality it appears he was just doing what his boss wanted.
Not all that shocking. Media made it seem close when it never really was. Now Peltz will take credit for why the stock has rebounded.It's over.
Disney prevails over Trian in board fight: Reuters
Walt Disney Co has secured enough shareholder votes to defeat a challenge against its board mounted by Nelson Peltz’s hedge fund Trian Fund Management, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
Enough votes had been cast as of Tuesday evening to put Disney’s board directors safely ahead of Trian’s two challengers, that included Peltz and former Disney chief financial officer Jay Rasulo, the sources said.
Blackwells Capital, another hedge fund that nominated three board director candidates at Disney, was also unsuccessful in its attempt, the sources said.
The result of this year’s most high-profile board fight will be announced at Disney’s annual shareholder meeting on Wednesday, and the sources cautioned that there was always a possibility that some shareholders may change their vote. They requested anonymity ahead of an official announcement.
Spokespeople for Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trian and Blackwells had no comment.

Can’t believe Disney spent $60 million on the board election. What a waste of money.
CNBC said this morning that the disclosure of voting results before the close of voting may be illegal and is certainly inappropriate for the company advisors to be releasing it. What a mess...It's over.

Where is the $60M number coming from? They certainly did not spend much on outreach to individual shareholders, i hold what I consider a healthy number of shares and only got a few mailings and no calls (did receive one call from Trian). Where was all that money spent?
