Why so serious?

Like more or less everyone I know, I have no desire to see a single entertainment company take over the future, dominating what had been a movie industry of multiple entities, each one fighting for their slice of your attention span. Disney, the movie studio so powerful that it ate another movie studio, looks, to many, like it could be that company. The full impact of its absorption of 20th Century Fox has yet to be felt, but now that the smoke has cleared, the mega-corporation that was formed stands before us like an unprecedented colossus, looming over all other studios, maybe over the entertainment business itself.
Yet let’s be clear: It’s not just, or maybe even primarily, the size of the company that is giving people the shakes. It’s the fact that a single film corporation now seems to own everything worth having — at least, in stark capitalistic blockbuster terms. Disney owns Marvel, it owns “Star Wars,” it owns “Avatar,” it owns the fabled animated features that it has been using to mint live-action-remake megahits as if it were printing money. What’s still on the table — “Godzilla”? The shards of “Harry Potter”? [snip]
Viewed according to the logic of 21st-century fantasy culture, Disney doesn’t just suddenly own all the properties. It owns all the mythologies. Long ago, Hollywood was called the Dream Factory. The intimidation factor of the new bulked-up, bursting-with-franchise-moxie Disney is the suspicion that a single company has become the Dream Factory. And the anxiety this has provoked is about something beyond market share. What a lot of people are wondering is: Will Disney now have the power to control our dreams?

Because it's run by perverts who want to push their sick world view on our children?
ABC, ESPN, etc.
In case anyone forgot, a major subplot in TS4 is Woody's love for Bo. Spoiler alert: even Forky gets a girl at the end. It wasn't like Buzz started making out with Rex.
I wish people got this worked up over heterosexual divorce and the devastating impact on the family and kids. Nah...but Disney...they is evil.
Yet today the technology to make a decent film is the cheapest it has ever been, and it can be distributed for nearly free. If you don’t like Disney, get to work.
“Disney himself would be repulsed by modern day Disney.”
I should think so.
This is typical enemy takeover of something good that involves children. Parents that don’t realize evil and how it works are a huge problem
I never let any of Disney post late ‘60s into my house
Disney: OMG, STOP. Really. Stop. Stop it now. A ‘live action’ remake of ‘The Lion King’ with all CGI characters and landscape? THAT'S AN ANIMATED MOVIE. Please stop. Now. Kill the rest of the live action remakes, use that massive pile of options you've got, and bring us some more new movies.
LucasFilm: Star Wars - yeah, you promised to complete Lucas’ cycle, and regrettably, used his script ideas. Out of a horrible pile of dung, you managed to not lose money. (and to all the people who say Disney killed Star Wars... I point you to the Phantom Menace and tell you to shut up, sit down, or I'm gonna make you watch another 9 hours of JarJar.)
Avatar? Look, Disney, if you've not figured it out already, this will be a 6 billion dollar funding suck from the studio which you MIGHT break even with in the 2110’s. Pull the plug now. I have never in my life heard anyone say ‘Man, I wish there was a sequel to Avatar.’
21st Century Fox: Bust it up. Take the properties you bought the studio for, keep the library that's going to feed your streaming service, and kick the rest of it to the curb. It needs the stripping and revitalization that’ll come from crawling out of the bottoms if you hope to realize any future value from the property. Grab a couple moneyed people, have them put together some buyout papers, keep a third of the property in stock to realize future profits, and dump it into someone’s lap.
Resorts: Yep, you'll continue to realize back 25% of profits into improvements, the other 75% will go into putting fingers in the dikes of the live action fascination.
ESPN: Why do you still have this?
ABC: Please sell this too. Make a deal for 3 hours of prime time a week you get to control, and dump the rest.
Why so serious?
Normal people aren’t afraid of Disney per se; normal people, including political leaders, are scared obama-less of the Left ... and for good reason. Nevertheless, the fight is coming — many say it’s already here — and the battle must be joined in the name of our Republic, our Constitution and our liberty.

Good one!
It’s been 30 years since the last time we stepped foot in Disney World. I don’t miss paying the Rat one damn bit!
Not “scared” ...DISGUSTED.
Disney Rat has perverted and destroyed more once beloved franchises and characters along with openly promoting deviancy, and perversion to families and children alike. Along with openly proclaiming lies, hate, and PC, SJW swill day in and day out via ABC “news”/propaganda, and their evil TV programs like The View.
If he were to come back from the dead and see what those in charge have done to his namesake, Walt Disney would fire so many people it would make national headlines all over the world.
This is a great post!
Agreed, the Jews are good at things, we are lucky to have them. BTW, Walt Disney, not Jewish, correct?
much less tv so the kids are not inundated with the pop culture buyathon....
starve the beast.....
[BTW, Walt Disney, not Jewish, correct?]
There are a lot of stories involving humans responding to the animal kingdom to which my response is I blame Disney. And Bambi is typically at the top of the list as the reason why this came to be.
Let’s face it, deer are large suburban/exurban/rural rats on the hoof. Due to a lack of natural predators and hunting, they have become vermin.
Years ago the were petitioning to ban trapping of animals in Washington State. They were outside the big box hardware store. I told the one gal that this was a good place to petition.
“Oh I know - lots of people on a Saturday!”
“Huh? No - I mean to petition and protest this store.”
“Oh - this isn’t a protest sir.”
“Well it should be. These people sell those evil traps that should be banned.”
“Oh I don’t think so.”
“Well sure! Rat traps, mole traps, mouse traps - all sorts of traps!”
“Oh sir - we don’t want to ban those types of traps!! But ones for cougars and bears and coyotes and such.”
“Huh? What do you have against rats? My son in fact has a pet rat - wonderful little animal - so cute. Why shouldn’t the cute furry rat have the same rights as a cute furry mountain lion?”
She just got frustrated. Obviously I didn’t sign the petition.
The law passed. Rat and mouse traps you can still buy. Mole traps? Illegal!!
And of course the folks in the suburbs are now calling for the government to do something about the cougars and coyotes that are killing their pets.
The “Disney Law,” the copyright reform law, the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act” of 1998, could be repealed. Since now all conceivable human dramatic and artistic ideas are owned already by somebody or other, the only way to make money in entertainment and keep it, is to remake an idea that you already clearly own.
The original constitutional solution was a term limit on the copyright, like say 14 years, and renewable once for another 14 years.
Jews run the movie and media business because they give each other jobs and deals. Not necessarily to close family members. The reported IQ advantage you mention somehow has not resulted in quality movies, however. The more Jewish the industry’s become, the more insipid, unoriginal and degenerate they’ve become.
