As a Disney shareholder, I’m okay with this. Iger has done a pretty good job, so pay the man. Disney is absolutely crushing it at the box office. All the various superhero flicks, remakes, CGI things, Star Wars, etc. aren’t my cup of tea personally, but they’re apparently what the public wants. Ditto the theme parks. Haven’t been to one in nearly 30 years, but from what I understand, many people absolutely can’t get enough of the places. Additionally, the price increases that some here are complaining about have as much to do with reducing overcrowding and long lines as raising revenue. In any case, if you have a problem with the prices, easy solution... don’t go.
I think they should remake some of the cartoon movies to make them lgbt friendly. Sleeping beauty could be a guy who awakes when his prince kisses him. Stuff like that.
You sure about that? Solo and The Last Jedi bombed badly, and A Wrinkle in Time did very poorly in the box office. Heck, the TV series Star Wars Resistance apparently got lots of downvotes for its teaser trailer. And that’s not even getting into how sales were down at Walt Disney World thanks largely to Gay Days based on what Florida Family Association reported. And speaking of gays, his promotion via ABC of When We Rise regarding the gay movement managed to decrease ABC’s viewability to being just tied with the CW (and far below FOX, CBS, and NBC), and also using the Disney Fan Club in a cynical attempt at dissuading criticism (and even THEY ended up turning against him), thus earning him a dock in pay. If anything, all of those bits would have been more than enough for me to demand for him to be fired if I had been a shareholder. It’s called the bottom line.
Besides, I know a few Disney shareholders like Justin Danhof and Tom Borelli who made no attempt at hiding their contempt to Iger for several of his actions, including pushing a far-left bias on ABC (and his cowardly denying it), his shelving Path to 9/11, his interfering on Jemele Hill’s behalf when she was about to get fired by ESPN for needlessly bashing Trump on the air, among other things.
