Disney was on the ropes several times. Hand-drawn animation is a hugely expensive hits business, and at the beginning there wasn't a library providing huge ongoing royalties to tide them through the gaps.
- sumtechguy 5y agoMany companies have the 'bet the farm' style of management with movies. MGM 'bet the farm' many times with big production movies and then a plan B movie to hold them over if it failed. A good pairing of that would be Gone with the wind (bet the farm) and plan b Wizard of Oz. Get a few duds in a row and you get sold off to one of your competitors. Wonder where they will end up after Amazon. It was actually Iger who restructured Disney with the double/homerun style movies. Why did Disney crank out junk movie after junk movie in the 90s? Because they were cheap and consistently made money. I think Disney has gone back to bet the farm style. I personally think it will end up with them sliced up in to a bunch of smaller companies.
