While Disney+ remains a competitor against Netflix, Max, Amazon Prime Video, and others, it also turns out that the streaming platform is actually losing the company hundreds of millions of dollars. Disney’s recent earnings report showed that its current attempts to corner the streaming market have been utterly failing, even as it increasingly jacks up subscription prices and deletes original content.
In a call to analysts, Iger revealed that beginning in December, the new service will be beta-tested as a combined app with Hulu, with both apps to be permanently replaced in March of 2024 (per Deadline). According to him, parents will need to be prepared for this because the Hulu catalog is basically full of programming not intended for children, unlike the deliberately family-friendly original app.

Bob..got news for ya...Hulu is far safer for kids then Disney.
In the Covid-era, I had Disney-plus for about 12 months. I’ll admit there were a lot of the 1960s/1970s Disney classics there which I watched. The Marvel and Star Wars stuff were marginally interesting. At some point, I’d see the bulk of the historical stuff, and left the service. If you asked me over what they were producing that would interest juveniles or teens...I’d say less than 10-percent was aimed at them.
I think streaming was a mistake, because no studio produces enough quality shows by themselves to make it worth paying for that channel alone.
Either have a specialty channel, like A&E or sci-fi or cartoon or drama or go back to regular cable.
If I still watched tv, which I haven’t since about 2003 or 2004, I’d be wiling to pay for a themed channel that shows everything of its genre from all the studios, but I wouldn’t pay for streaming from a single studio.
Had Disney+ to watch the old Disney movies. Now they put disclaimers up before any of those movies saying that they never meant to disparage or disrespect this group or that group in their portrayal. What a bunch of horsesh*t!
They have a great historical catalog but all the recent stuff is garbage. Even the Marvel stuff has lost its luster since Thanos.
Disney had been going downhill long before wokism. When something I clicked on offered some free Disney for a week or so, followed by a monthly fee, I wanted to find a way to send out “you cannot pay me to watch.”
We grew up loving Sunday evenings with Disney. We will remember those wonderful times, and hold on to our wallets.
Yup. Good riddance!
That’s because, until Endgame, they were basically storyboarding from the actual comics. Almost everything in Marvel, until Endgame, was being sourced from the comics. Now, they’ve used up the comics and have to write new stories.
My thoughts exactly.

Disney Executives Admit: Of Course We’re Grooming Your Children: Multiple Disney employees admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.
Disney isn’t just grooming children with radical sexual propaganda — now they’re bragging about it.
On the heels of Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, which bars educators from instructing kindergarten through third-grade students about sexual ideology, multiple executives and employees from the Walt Disney Company admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible.
One Disney executive boasted about her “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and efforts at “adding queerness to” children’s programming, in leaked audio published by investigative journalist Chris Rufo on Tuesday.
“Our leadership over there has been so welcoming to my, like, not-at-all-secret gay agenda,” said Latoya Raveneau, an executive producer for Disney Television Animation. “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness … No one would stop me and no one was trying to stop me.”

There was a thread here not too long ago about Disney wanting to dump ESPN, but no one seemed interested.
I want to see more sources on this. If true, this is huge.
I remember those evenings. First The Wonderful World of Disney and then Bonanza, a great way to spend Sunday evening.
Real parents are already prepared.
I have a feeling that we are reaching "peak sports" where the amount advertisers and networks can afford will drop and therefore players' contracts will have to drop.
Woke feminist Disney film “The Marvels” just bombed its opening weekend. Brie Larson had zero chemistry as Captain Marvel. Now she’s paired with a black and a Muslim female superheros.
Among the Disney classics, they left out much of what appealed to young boys of the 50s and 60s: “Johnny Tremain”, “The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh”, etc.
Movies about patriotism and fighting for liberty had no place in woke Disney.
Wow. Nicely done.
