>Sell less important shit like certain Fox properties and ABC/ESPN shit
>Test the waters with a half-hour special animated with the original 2D style, if it does well critically start production on a full length film
>Pander to the boomers and nostalgia crowd. TV spots/advertisements/merchandise, etc with classically drawn/animated legacy characters to bring back people who may have been turned off by wokeshit and lack of characters they're familiar with
>Make the parks more affordable for people, and focus more on refurbishing and preserving older attractions and buildings and less on big flashy new IP based shit, have a new attraction put in roughly every 4/5 years with smaller scale entertainment like parades and special events being more frequently produced to make up for lack of new rides, basically quality over quantity

There's probably more smaller fhings I'd do that aren't mentioned but I feel like this about covers all the important stuff
Live action remakes were profitable outside of the Little Mermaid though and Disney has been live action movies since their inception.

>pander to boomers and nostalgia crowd
this is what 2D Disney has been trying to do for the past decade and it didn't work. kids don't give a shit about mascot comedy anymore.
Disney's nostalgia appeals did well when they did as little as possible to change them. Today any appeal to nostalgia is warped to the point where it barely resembles the original product
>this is what 2D Disney has been trying to do for the past decade
What the flying frick? With what please enlighten me.
Well if I've been made CEO of anything it means the laws of reality no longer exist, so I hold a press conference, march every existing disney/lucasfilm/fox employee up on stage, force them to apologize one by one as I publicly execute them with rusty butter knife, announce a complete relaunch of the company, then have sex with 2005 Sophia Vergara and 1999 Selma Hayek, and 2011 Hayley Atwell on stage infront of the entire world while Jenna Ortega sits in a corner being forced to watch.

Start re-releasing Disney animated films and shorts as limited events. Make limited-edition merchandise surrounding each release. Buy a video game company. Buy Hulu, sell it to somebody stupid enough to buy it for an impossible sum. Make ESPN a satellite channel. Repackage/sell Fox films.
Just make good stuff. Fire Jennifer Lee, Kathleen Kennedy, the entire DIE department, and tell anybody who is there to proselytize to frick off. Cut the paychecks of everybody in white-collar positions in exchange they may live and work from. Any job that can be done by robots should be done by robots. Open own chain of cinemas that exclusively screen Disney films in incredible formats such as 70mm and IMAX, effectively cutting off a major artery for the movie theater industry. Lots of building, rebranding, and refurbishment at the Disney parks. For instance, Disneyland Paris is renamed Terre Disney and their Sleeping Beauty Castle is redesigned into Prince Adam/The Beast's castle.
Hey OP, stop doomposting your Game Theory fanfic about Iger selling off Disney! What is this, the second or third time posting this?
I honestly think that the only thing I would do since the company situation is hopeless is invent an excuse to invite all the people who ruined Disney including those outside the company like Alonso, Feigi, Kathleen Kennedy, along with their families. Trap them in a room and have them brutally killed.
it doesn't matter what your opinion is, that's what they've been doing. they tested the waters with The Princess and The Frog and it did well but not well enough given the sheer amount of effort traditional animation takes. if you could make a show in cel that people today would pay shittons to watch as a niche thing you'd still have trouble keeping it afloat due to how awful the medium is to work with compared to every other. there's a reason the cuphead show wasn't made in cel, the truth is it doesn't fricking matter as long as the show itself is "good" (or, watched). disney has had a good run, but the sad truth is that they're going to need to remodel themselves with an entire new niche in the coming years because nothing they are years behind their competitors in practically every department

If you're racist, you're not seeing the movie. If you're woke, you'd probably be pissed that the female black character doesn't even resolve her main conflict, instead a white woman does. In fact, same white woman gives her the dress used in the promo material.

1. Release the classic catalogue into theaters on a rotating basis, and set up a subscription program where people can get passes to see screenings for classic Disney films every month (this will include Indiana Jones and the Theatrical Versions of the Star Wars trilogy on top of the obvious Disney/Pixar catalogue).
2. Put out a public hit list, CALLING ALL SCREENWRITERS: Submit your Star Wars/Indiana Jones screenplay, and if you’re chosen to be adapted, you’ll get 2% of the backend, no questions asked.
3. Put together a dream team for a traditionally animated film. This project is on high priority, and will be nailed down with the goal of making a classic movie and kickstarting a new division for the company. Market to families, nostalgic Disney adults, hardcore cartoon fans, etc. This is “the” return of traditional animation.
4. Publicly announce that Disney is a company for families and will from now on stand for the magic of imagination. End all internal “woke” mandates, and shoot down any overt political messaging in favor of universal themes (in return for a renegotiation of the special privileges in Florida).
5. Lower the capacity of the Disney Parks by 15%, and invest in a new Fastpass system.
6. Brad Bird Pixar movie?
7. Kingdom Hearts anime.
>Publicly announce that Disney is a company for families and will from now on stand for the magic of imagination. End all internal “woke” mandates, and shoot down any overt political messaging in favor of universal themes (in return for a renegotiation of the special privileges in Florida).
Everyone quits and the company fails. Good job dingus.
Find better employees. Win/win.
Work for a company that'll disrespect you instant and face the face that anything your write might be rejected for being to woke.
I'd love to work there
Any rational person should know where the line is. Or do you get tiffed that you might get rejected for being racist, or promoting flat earth?
Tell me is this line something you can see or is it I your head?
What is rhe line?
About 2007-2008 or so. Focus on making movies with universal themes. All the Disney/Pixar classics fall under this umbrella. Yes, the line for “obtrusively political” is obvious.
So frozen , coco, Encanto, turning Red , Wreck it Ralph, dont have universal themes?
I suppose we should work on the thay disney classic Meet the Robinsons.
You’re being purposely obstinate by playing dumb. Very childish.
Thank you for admiting you have no response.
Why would I put forward the effort to engage with someone arguing in bad faith? You asked for a line, and I gave you the zeitgeist cutoff (where more movies were made for entertainment than messaging). You then prodded for exceptions instead of attempting to understand an easy concept.
Disney rebounding away from its current image and towards an image of bringing joy to all by acknowledging that “Disney Magic” is above such things would serve the company very well. That goes for “anti-woke” too.
NTA, but Frozen and Wreck-It-Ralph are the only two there that I would agree have those.
>Coco
Never saw, so not saying one way or the other
>Encanto
It's a movie about generational trauma.
>Turning Red
A 2000s-childhood second-generation immigrant goes through a rebellious phase against a tiger mom, and somehow gets vindicated.
Okay, don't see how those are necessarily woke.
An easy concept you refused to explain and one that many seems to exist in insane peoples head.
Ah yes the one disney magic like pocahontas, disney sequels, Stitchs great escape, and the Black cauldron.
It was explained, if you don’t understand what it means to put story/characters/emotion first, perhaps you’re not fit to work at this company. Your application has been denied.
So your trying to say Encanto didn't have any of these?
Not stated. I don’t even have a problem with that movie. I’m talking about shit like Rey Palpatine being nothing more than an A03 OC because “the force is female” or whatever. Disney should break away from the rhetoric in how they market themselves and stick to telling good stories for everyone. You want to be the wholesome company, not the progressive company.

Do you want to try that one again? Because it seems like you're grasping for ANYTHING here.
You're demanding a serious response to your post literally just calling an anon "mentally ill."
Let me point something out that you dumbfrick Reddit migrants really need to learn: If you want a substantial counterargument, you need to actually say something.
>Redditspacing
>Implying that Rey is a good character
>No response other than namecalling
The company 100% has an image problem right now. Pivoting to “Good ol’ Disney” would be integral to any reasonable recovery strategy.
Ah, a poll, the perfect response.
As opposed to… quipping?
But anon, if he says a snarky one-liner, someone might find it funny and give him Reddit gold!
I looked at the polls and the article is comparing two entirely different polls, one (the first poll) which only seems to have a favorable or unfavorable choice and the other which has a five point scale ranking from very favorable to very unfavorable. I'm betting that a good chunk of the people who would've otherwise said neutral if given the chance in the first poll chose favorable instead due to the binary option. Also, NBC News only began recording Disney's favorability in 2022 meaning there is no way to compare the favorability to 2021.
At least Disney's favorability is on a decline but it's been a gradual, slighter one (happening since 2017) that, at least recently, has been driven by polarization.

>don't see how those are necessarily woke
Turning Red has sexual-"empowerment" undertones to it.
The other anon was right, though. You're trying to fish for a few exceptions and being pedantic about the specific year he gave, rather than most of what the company's focus has been gradually shifting towards. If you really gave a crap, you probably should have asked him to prove that the company was "woke" by giving examples (more than TLM).
>Turning Red has sexual-"empowerment" undertones to it.
Or it's just a movie about a girl's relationship with her mother.
And quite frankly I should be pedantic, because woke is mostly a mindset by people who find it where ever they look.
>Or it's just a movie about a girl's relationship with her mother.
The "panda" is a metaphor for puberty.
>woke is mostly a mindset by people who find it where ever they look.
I'll say
OH NO.... WORDS!
Please for the love of god get real problems.
Typical mad response.

Pretending that I'm not enjoying this.
Take a step back, breathe, and reread your own posts.
Do you really not see how seething they read?
And this isn't?
Unironically correct. You're crying because anon actually gave you a counterargument.
A vague one that didn't explain what exactly it was and ignores that anyone can find a message in anything if they try hard enough.
Instead of just pointing out this "vagueness" or pushing by asking anon to clarify and prove his claim, you instead just implied he was mentally unwell, and said a lot of movies that really didn't even matter that much in their own eras, not even tying them back to the argument. I would actually be giving you a lot less shit if you didn't do that b***hiness.
I really don’t think it’s hard to understand. For example, do you acknowledge the stunt casting of Ariel in the new Little Mermaid movie? Or do you have to be mentally ill to notice?
Ask yourself, and be intellectually honest, did they cast her purely because she was the most suitable for the job, or because they are participating in the ongoing culture war pissing match and wanted some controversy buzz?
Depends, can you say she's a bad actress, I have no intention of watching it because I don't want to watch a little mermaid remake, I have seen a lot of reviewers who are in the middle of the political divide praise her yet criticize the film.
That could be an element but can you tell me without one hundred percent proof that she wasn't cast because of her acting, Her singing voice? she brings something new to the character.
I'm glad you guys are using The Little Mermaid as an example, that way if I say "that post is just wishy-washy meandering," it doubles as a pun!
*Rimshot*
Yet where is the evidence?
Where's your answer to anon's question?
>Her singing voice? she brings something new to the character.
The actress they got has a voice but, dude, are you trying to downplay Jodi Benson's singing?
This is what I mean, man. You can’t even find any common ground on the most basic, easy olive branch layup of an example. It’s just a waste of time talking to someone who weasels around like that.
I don’t care if she’s a superstar, casting Ariel to be black is a choice made with the knowledge that you’re inviting controversy in the way that an accurate-to-original casting choice would not. The only logical explanations for taking on that controversy is
>A. You’re genuinely fighting for a cause you place above money (I seriously doubt this is the case)
>B. You believe the free buzz offsets the risk
Unfortunately for Disney, the hidden consequences of continually participating in the pissing match, is eventually you get branded as a company that does that. People who are sick of the pissing match are now sick of you, and your accrued bad blood comes home to roost. All I’m saying is Disney doesn’t need to do this to be relevant. Disney is, honestly, above these games as a brand and as an institution. Disney would benefit greatly from an image makeover, letting the lesser companies piss into the ocean of piss for their scraps. Focus on entertainment. That shouldn’t be a controversial opinion about an entertainment company.
That looks more like disappointment and resignation than anger. Looking up the comment chain you deflect with quips rather than give an answer so it's understandable that people stop caring about what you say.
>Oh no, WORDS!
The irony is that screen comes up when you play Aladdin on Disney+.
...Okay and?
Go ahead and describe what's so "racist" in Aladdin that it demands a content warning, then see how ridiculously hypocritical your "OH NO.... WORDS" shit sounds.
Guard chopping off hands stereotype, Robbie Williams accent, The Arabian nights thing even back then got complaints, personally I don't see anything wrong with it, but I also can't lose my shit at a twenty-second disclaimer.
>Guard chopping off hands stereotype
As much a "stereotype" as "knights used swords..."
>Robin Williams accent
Oh no.... It's like another Holocaust!
>The Arabian nights thing even back then got complaints
Oh no.... Words!
...Wait a minute...
>I don't lose my shit at
But you defend it... Or more accurately you defend the direction the company is at where they feel obliged to add in such a disclaimer.
>OH NO.... WORDS!
Those "words" in question are saying "This cartoon is racist and you should feel racist". A stark contrast to this earlier one a different company still uses now that says "These cartoons are old and as such, might be a little racist. We don't condone racism, but we're releasing these cartoons anyway because those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it".
>"This cartoon is racist and you should feel racist"
... Really? where?
Please tell me you can see the difference between
>This programme includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures.
And
>They may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in American society.
So you're telling me they weren't common in American society?
No. I'm saying that the Aladdin remake from half a decade ago shouldn't carry a content warning as if it were Birth of a Nation.
Also, Warner Bros. doesn't tell you how diverse and inclusive (and that's a good thing) they are now compared to back then.
... Wait this is from the 2019 movie?
I mean I'd say it's more warranted.
Don't even try. The anon you're replying to also wrote this:
It's a woketard who desperately wants to appear impartial, so instead of answering questions all he does is deflect and quip.
And successfully annoy.
>(in return for a renegotiation of the special privileges in Florida).
Disney already kept those after humiliating DeSantis twice.
why you lie?
What lie? DeSantis keeps trying to hit Disney and keeps getting humiliated. His first attempt had the legislature realizing they would be putting a huge tax burden on the county, and the second attempt was foiled by Disney's clever lawyering. They're going to court over it but all signs are they're going to loose because Disney's lawyers were very careful to do things by the book.
>do things by the book

You seem confused. Disney was the one who sued Florida, not the other way around.
Because he's a shill doing damage control for Disney hoping that just because people on here dislike DeSantis, they'll believe Disney is winning
It isn't working
>hoping that just because people on here dislike DeSantis
Bold of him to assume that everyone is a fellow migrant.
Disney is winning. This is all election-year nonsense that won't stand to legal challenge and will magically fade away after DeSantis loses the primary and there's no longer a reason to fight with one of Florida's largest employers. Disney knows this, it's all for show.

>please mister judge dismiss desantis law we good boys
Is idiotic. Disney is arguing they're being retaliated against by the government of Florida for exercising their Free Speech rights. The problem for DeSantis and the GOP is that there are copious records of them explicitly stating that that's exactly what they're doing, punishing Disney for comments about their laws.
>Is idiotic.
Black person they were told to cut that shit out for years
Also you moron you just admitted i was right that you were lying when you said
They didnt keep shit thats why theyre in court moron.
>Black person they were told to cut that shit out for years
No, they weren't. This case is specifically about what DeSantis did in retaliation, for which there is copious evidence. Don't take my word for it, the briefs are all public.
>No, they weren't.
lies on top of lies.
Show me some evidence of Disney being criticized by the state of Florida's government pre-DeSantis.
they were told to cut that shit out for years
>durr show me lawsuits pre desantis
Being told to stop is not the same as being sued. Your goalpost move is shit. Know your place trash
I didn't say show me lawsuits. I said

Learn basic reading skills and try again.
All the way to the 1990's have people been b***hing about preferential treatment
Just google
>"disney lawsuit preferential treatment 1990"
You would know this if you didnt just jump on the band wagon when it was convenient
Right, but that's not the point of the lawsuit. No one disputes that Florida has the power to change the district. The claim in the lawsuit is that it's being done specifically in retaliation for Disney's stance on Florida's laws and, again, there's copious evidence of this. DeSantis et al shot themselves in the foot by being so open about it.

I wish you gays would stay on morondit
You seem mad, Cinemaphilemrade.
Make all my shows about buttsex from now on.
1) give in to all the current union demands that led to the strike. Thus becoming the only company available for work during the strike.
2) no more live action remakes, full stop on production.
3) merchandising business model runs the same way. Focus on our live action films, animated films, Disney plus content, and theme parks.
4) sale off ESPN, your part of HULU, national geographic, Your share of A&E, vice etc. If it isn't related to the core focus. Sale, sale, sale
5) marvel. Stop with the direction the movies have been going in for the last five years. Focus on X-Men, fantastic four, and spiderman. Avengers will still be around but not the replacement avengers. Bring back older avengers with team up movies for new characters like tigra, wonder man, ghost rider, etc. For the tv show only make them if there is a demand for more of a character from the movies. For the marvel comics shift focus to obscure characters and hire webtoon writers. Give me more shonen inspired stuff and wacky concepts.
6) no more star wars movies for another twelve years. Make a show about the high republic, have it be your game or thrones. Have mini series about the Jedi masters during the clone wars and order 66. Hype them up like captains are in bleach.
7) speaking of anime. Let anime studios remake Disney channel original movies into anime series. Turn the whole Rick Riordan presents series into anime. Work with Japan to make a live action bleach series, with Japanese actors but has the western horror asestic of James wan as with an early to mid 2000s punk vibe. Make an R rated adaptation of fate zero, if sussesful then a fate stay night series, the apocrypha, then grand order. Make it like the MCU when it comes to continuity. Debut characters and it they are popular have Thier own series/movie. LET TYPE MOON HAVE CREATIVE CONTROL.
You just need to take an early Eisner era approach.
1. Slash the budget of every film by half. If it can’t be made for $30 million or less, it doesn’t get made
2. Produce high concept unique ideas with lesser known talent. A big aspect for Disney in the 80’s was that they couldn’t afford the major A list talent so they often didn’t, which ended up biting them when they paid a ton for Warren Beatty and Madonna in Dick Tracy
3. Do a major anonymous consumer survey to figure out what markets are not being served by Disney and figure out a way to serve that market. Hollywood Pictures and Touch Stone were both used in the past to allow Disney to release non-Disney projects, we need a return to this.
4. With a major recession looming, the theme parks are going to get hit hard. Now is the time to focus on simple refurbishment and analyzing what attractions aren’t a draw.
5. Dig deeper into the back catalogue. Disney could make a ton of easy money by releasing special editions and previously unseen footage from the tons of classics in their portfolio. They also need to go on an awareness campaign to get younger audiences interested in their older works. This would not cost a lot and wouldn’t require new content to be produced.
6. Delve deeper into streaming and video platforms. Twitch and YouTube have both shown that child content online can generate tons of revenue, Disney should be capitalizing on this. Even something as simple as a “Disney channel on twitch” could potentially be a big win for them, especially if they aim for the nostalgia market and use it to air episodes of old shows
7. Keep the corporate side more secretive. Announcing things like the MCU in business phases was not a good call. People need to see less of the employees and know more about their content as it comes out
>Disney channel on Twitch
They already kind of do that, if you go to the official Disney Channel/XD Youtube Channels there is a Livestream that constantly plays episodes or shows like Phineas and Ferb / Wizards of Waverly Place.
I would argue that having Episode Livestreams that end with a simulcast of a new episode premiere would work better, as it gears up interest from people and helps them catch up for a new episode premiere.
I’m wracking my brain, but I can’t possibly come up with a logical, economically sound reason to want to be known as a “progressive company” instead of a “family company” in this polarized political climate. Take your emotions or personal beliefs out of it, you’re honestly just shooting yourself in the foot by playing this game. You’re fricking DISNEY, you don’t need to do that. You’re relevant by default. Just make good shit and reap the rewards.
Fire all Iger loyalists and work to remove any Disney descendants from the board.
License out old content to other streamers and channels.
Moratorium on any further spending on Disney+.
Take a hard look at the cruise ship business. If it isn't self-sustaining, mothball/sell 2 ships.
End all legal actions in the state of Florida. All that is doing is lining the pockets of lawyers. Quietly spend that money on local regime change instead.
Offer 16% of shares of Hulu to Comcast, bring their control up to 49%, and a 3-year commitment to programming on Hulu.
Re-release old movies during the strikes.
Subsidize/co-produce more foreign content to rebrand as Disney domestically.
Launch more merchandise lines based on legacy properties.
Reverse all "crowd control" policies at the parks, moratorium on price hikes, and stop all retheme projects.
Forcefully retire Kennedy, demote Filloni, entice Favreau back with a big cheeseburger.
Open up more technical production services to rival studios.
Reform Disney Interactive Studios.
Personally murder whoever fricked up the colors on the 4K remasters, and scatter their body parts in the Gulf of Mexico.
Divest from all print, news, and online news business.
Sell remainder of Fox assets in pieces. Keep the good movies and shows and package them together for licensing to other streamers.
Reduce land holdings, particularly in cities.
Lay off everyone I don't like, has dyed hair, or looks at me funny.
Disney doesn't own any news stations outside of ESPN, when they bought fox, they did not buy the Fox news and sports stations, those still belong to Murdoch
Disney owns ABC News, which in turn owns various television stations and minority holdings in newspapers. Disney also provides venture capital to who knows how many websites. Plus, Disney's foreign divisions all have their own tendrils in various media. If you were to ask Iger to list everything Disney has full or partial ownership of, he wouldn't be able to tell you.
I forgot to mention, Disney owns something like a quarter of Vice through their acquisition of Fox and A&E, and they just crashed and burned too. This is why Disney needs to get out of all of this stuff.
I order production on one last cartoon-to-live-action-movie, a Toy Story movie.
The toys will use the same designs from the original film.
Only if Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling cameo
Meet the guy who made Escape from tomorrow and secretly buy him a drink.
Meet the guy who made Pooh Blood and Honey and punch him in the stomach.
Cast a buncha white people in stuff
In case anybody gives a shit about I.N.D.U.C.K.S.

Remaster the first 5 Pixar films. No major changes to voice acting, plot, or art design, just making them look as good as we can
Do everything Disney is doing now, but ten times harder.
Crash the company and make-off with as much money under the table as possible, write off losses, and give myself a severance pay.
Wake up Walt from his cryotube and tell him everything that's happened in the past 60 years. Sit back and watch the carnage ensue.
Make kino shit. Talk with Miyazaki, give Goro a chance to make something high(er) budsget with 2D. Get assassinated by Israelian ninjas by the end of the year
>give Goro a chance to make something high(er) budsget with 2D
God no. That guy's had a tough life under his dad, but he's got no talent. He's great as a buffer between his dad and the real world but is capable of mediocrity at best.
Go to bed, Hayao.
Nah, it's true. I feel sorry for Goro, life with/under Hayo sounds like a nightmare. He basically exists as a sponge for abuse. I don't have the link handy, but there was a story about the creation of the Ghibli Museum where Hayao did all these beautiful and amazing designs for the new building. The problem was that many of these were either physically impossible to build, or at least would be astronomically expensive. Goro got the job of explaining this to his father because everyone else was too scared, and his role was to let Hayao rage at him until he accepted the limitations of construction reality.
Budget. That's the problem. It's always been the problem. Hayao has a name as well, investors took it as a guarantee. Hayao would have an opportunity as well: do something more with Ghibli. Not a chance for money, but a chance for art. I believe it would motivate both to deliver kino once again.
Why? Hayao doesn't need his kid to make art, he's world-famous for it. He just put out a new film. Goro has had chances and he fricked them up. You can't realistically expect his kid to be anywhere near as good as he is, that almost never happens. Goro didn't even want to go into animation initially, he was pressured into it by his dad.
Hayao is extremely dismal about Ghibli's future, Jack. He does care. And Goro hasn't had real chances yet. I give them 2D animators, budget for it, carte blanche. Ghibli is doomed otherwise. Hayao has lost his spark as wellv he doesn't believe anymore. This kind of thing would rekindle a fire. Making the mother of all omelettes!
>Hayao is extremely dismal about Ghibli's future, Jack.
Oh, I know, and it's his own fault. He's personally destroyed every potential successor and next-generation leader of Ghibli. The studio dies with him because of him.
>And Goro hasn't had real chances yet.
Dude has done three films and they were all mediocre. It's not shame to not be as good as the generational talent his father was, just find your own calling.
>Hayao has lost his spark as wellv he doesn't believe anymore.
Remains to be seen, there isn't much info about the new one yet. Maybe it's his one last great effort before he checks out.
I would unironically tell him, look, I'm giving you one chance with this money. Talk to your father. Work together for once. I would try to mend their relationship and get him to actually have some pride in himself. I believe in Goro, he's got a few movies done and he's grown despite shrinking budgets. I would use Disney to save Ghibli. Frick the investors. Frick the stock market. I can use the Disney name to shake things up and make REAL art for frick's sake. Make something the world needs for once. Bring sincerity into children's media onve again. And if this means the death of both companies, so be it.
Can you imagine. Disney's logo, an airplane soars over the castle.
GHIBLI // DISNEY
Not a distributor, not some boot over their work. A merge. I want another Nausicaa, I want another Mononoke
>I want another Nausicaa,
The film only covers the first two volumes of the 7-volume series, though it will never happen. Ghibli has only ever done one continuation of a previous work (The Cat Returns, a spin-off of Whisper of the Heart), and they allowed Sony to do a live-action sequel to Whisper of the Heart, but there's no way Miyazaki is doing more Nausicaa, let alone probably not doing any films again.
I didn't mean a sequel, but a movie of that caliber. Frick sequels. Frick reboots!
Pre-Fox acquisition I remember reading rumors that Disney had been considering trying to acquire Ghibli. I doubt Miyazaki would ever allow that, though.
Not under some chicken-shit money-obsessed CEO! But I would make it different.
Make a tv subscription only porn of all the characters in traditional 2D
The subscribers get official drawn Disney porn from the vault while supplies last
No more live action or go straight to 3D modeling to perfectly match the original movies and add in an EXTRA 30 minutes to every movie with new scenes and scrapped characters to incentivize people to go to theaters
Make a movie about actual black history like this one king whose kingdom was conquered and he became a slave in china and then worked his way up to a military leader then came back home to reclaim his conquered kingdom no more race swapping
Princess power hour series where the princesses are tasked by Mickey to create a perfect princess land that will be built in Disney-world depending on ratings
Kingdom Hearts cartoon with full combat and blood for older audiences
Mickey Mouse cartoon similar to house of mouse but him running Disney while also being an actor and mascot
Various cartoon characters are in the board of directors and want Mickey out so they give him impossible tasks that he has to complete with his standard group of friends fricking it all up in different ways
Youtube series about various Disney characters teaching you how to draw in 2D and the video ends with a short featuring the Disney character of the week
You can have the mods give you my info so you can hire me Disney
>EXTRA 30 minutes to every movie with new scenes and scrapped characters to incentivize people to go to theaters
...You know deleted scenes exist for a reason right?
It won't only be deleted scenes and some scenes get deleted because they are boring filler
Also, why add new things to old movies?
Just a personal choice that could backfire or add to the movie in a good way like making another song that could potentially be the next Let It Go
Also none of that hyper-realistic lighting that makes everything hard to see
>Sell Hulu and focus on Disney+
>Sell ESPN, sports broadcasting rights are a fricking money sink.
>Focus on reinvigorating Disney Channel back into a family network and not a teen girl network. Monthly movies, family friendly sitcoms mixed with kids shows. New projects based on beloved IPs, a new Marvel animated universe with Weisman at the helm.
>Restore parks, lower prices in parks to be more affordable than Universal
>Open a park in middle America or Texas.
>Focus on new animated film IPs. Make sure they're not controversial. Bring back the people alienated by newer projects.
>Slap Feige hard and tell him to get working on the X-Men shit because no one cared about the All New, All Different era during the comics and no one cares in film. Just get to the x-men and start testing waters on recasting major characters whose actors are done.
>Fire Kennedy. Release the original trilogy unedited and fully restored. Announce a new trilogy unrelated to the Skywalker saga. Build off that universe. Let Lucas do an animated sequel trilogy.
>Cancel The Simpsons and Family Guy.
I like all these suggestions to sell multi-billion dollar assets as if you can just put them up on Craigslist and have them gone the next day.
The moment Fox announced they were up for sale it started an immediate bidding war. You have no idea how many woukdmpounce to acquire some of the assets Disney has and they have quite a few
Use Classic Characters again, begin with capeshit to get that normalgay audience
>PK Movie Trilogy
After that everything can happen
>The Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck
>Darkwing Duck vs Negaduck
>Grandma Duck & Little Donald
>Another Goofy Movie (that's the actual title)
>Mickey Mouse: The Mystery of the Phantom Blot
I sell the whole company to Christopher Poole for free
