Once again the workers pay the price for bad leadership while the leadership largely continues to simply collect large paychecks for that bad execution. It's no different to the layoffs for Google Assistant. Do you think the average IC determines the outcome of Pixar (or Google) projects?
Disney's content strategy has generally been abysmal. Milking Star Wars IP with content that varies between mid and bad for the most part. Marvel really fell off post-Avengers. Pixar once made some of the great movies period, animated or otherwise.
Creative ventures can't be reduced to a formula. Corporate America seeks to cut costs and reduce their business plan to a formula.

- dehrmann 3y agoTo be fair, Bob Chapek also lost his job over how he managed Disney. I'm not sure if he actually dropped the ball, or if Iger left while things were good, but the pipeline was about to run dry.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoI imagine it is mostly Iger leaving while things were good. Disney was never going to be able to retain the amount of people’s time it had in previous decades with the competition from other forms of entertaining, from video games to YouTube to Instagram to TikTok to WhatsApp and even to sites like Reddit/HN. I think they tried to battle this by saturating the market with their IP and that goose is done laying eggs, so I am assuming they will lean on sports gambling now as long as they have ESPN.
