Walt Disney's Pixar Animation Studios has eliminated 75 positions including those of two executives behind box office flop Lightyear in what are the the first significant job cuts at the studio in a decade.

The cuts included Lightyear director Angus MacLane, a 26-year animator who was part of the senior creative team on such acclaimed films as Toy Story 4 and Coco.

Michael Agulnek, Pixar's vice-president of worldwide publicity since 2015, was also laid off. Also departing the studio is Galyn Susman, a producer on Lightyear.

I find the writing of recent Marvel films really substandard. What are they thinking? I’m not going to name the films because I like the actors and it’s not the performers’ fault the scripts are so inferior to previous depictions of the characters. Politics and social commentary interjected into plot, weak boring storylines.

It’s almost a cliche to say it now, but it’s true... “Go woke, go broke.”

Good call. In 2021, Cramer told his audience to BUY BUY BUY Disney stock.

Jim Cramer says it's time to start buying some Disney

$200 million Toy Story flop 'Lightyear'

How in the world does a movie made by a computer cost $200 million? That's one of Disney's problems.

The new black Captain America, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” dove into an early major plot twist with a black character that had some sort of horrible Tuskegee-like experiment done on him that left him hating the United States.

We just stopped watching, mid-episode. It was a series that was simply a diatribe smear on whites and the US.

How people like John Charles Cutler, who did terrible things to US and even citizens of other countries, without their consent to hurt them, is beyond imaginable, but creating a theme around the US as being intrinsically that way, is grotesque. Such thinking and actual practice is disgusting and such doctors, and any entity authorizing such unethical, immoral work, should be tried under capital punishment.

I hear you. The only two Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films I enjoyed were the first “Iron Man” and the first “Black Panther”.

Would you believe me if I told you that We the Living are the survivors of a global Tuskeegee-like experiment?

I don’t doubt it. One group, the people who took the VAXX, has many who died, and many who are suffering still from the side effects. The latest most publicly recognized of this group is Jamie Foxx. Another group, the UNVAXXED, suffered some when they got Covid, but pretty much fared eminently better than the VAXX group.

If the trans greeter is still hugging children, we have a bigger problem than that.

Good start. Keep up the pressure, Walt Disney is pleased.

Same can be said in the future about the current sexual mutilation of minor children.

they are more interested in their black rock globalist rating dictatorship, lose a little? they will be back. Remember target making a declaration a few years back about men dressed as women can follow your wife daughter or girlfriend into the bathroom? its all quiet now right? men are still able to use the women’s room at target right?

‘It’s almost a cliche to say it now, but it’s true... “Go woke, go broke.” ‘

They’re not going broke. They’re getting subsidized. Their consumers are not in charge. Our local Target, in a shopping center where other stores are shutting down, this Target is getting a major renovation. They’re suffering blowback? Or they’re enjoying a payoff?
