Quoted from Aurich:
The Disney+ shows have ranged from pretty good to fantastic.
Book of Boba was uneven, good in parts, okay in others. Obi Wan better, but not the strongest, still good. Mandalorian has been great, and Andor is fucking fantastic TV. Need to watch Season 2 of Bad Batch but 1 was fun and the final season of Clone Wars was really good too.
Just keep the people in charge of the TV properties overseeing everything and I'll be happy.
Gonna avoid the politics and third rail discussions. I have my thoughts and I'll keep them to myself here. But if you haven't watched Andor yet it's really good.

Basically 100% agree with this point. I liked Boba Fett quite a bit (except the American Graffiti scooter scene didn’t do anything for me), and Obi Wan was kind of a letdown - I think that bore the brunt of Covid changes. Anyway, Andor kicked ASS

Definitely enjoyed TS4 though. Totally worth seeing. Will it change your life? Of course not. Either will 1,2, or 3. The first one really isn’t on the same level as 2 or 3 either. But they’re all damn good. Pretty amazing what Pixar did there. So yeah I’ll check out 5. What’s the worst that can happen? That I was entertained for 2 hours?

OP
Quoted from seenev:
I have to think that Bob Iger got back into the CEO chair and immediately ordered these sequels into production just so he could announce them at his first earnings report back as CEO. I think more than anything, the purpose of these sequels is to prop up the stock price enough in the short term to stave off activist investors and prevent outsiders from joining the board. That way, Iger et al can go about their business of ruining the company as usual.

Iger appears to know WTF he is doing.

Quoted from Aurich:I didn't see Strange World. But what was bizarre about Turning Red? Was a very normal Pixar movie, beautifully animated, original story, the usual from them.

Strange World is pretty good. If you’ve seen “Fantastic Planet” there are a TON of references, which I absolutely loved. It is a little tough to figure out what the target audience was - but that’s one of the things I really liked: it’s just a crazy weird movie that isn’t made based on marketing research and testing and “the algorithm”. Thank goodness Disney still does stuff like this

I thought Turning Red was great too! The Kaiju gags were perfect

Quoted from Mundy53:
I haven’t seen turning Red, but Strange World was an absolute propaganda picture.

LOL for alien planets?

Quoted from Methos:
The entire company is a propganda piece. Hopefully Peltz is successful where Steinberg failed in 1984. Sell off the company and hopefully whomever gets the parks, gets "it. Sell off all the other assets. The company died a long time ago.

Literally 2 hours ago Peltz gave up. They are bringing back the dividend. I feel really bad for the 7,000 folks who got laid off, but as a shareholder, I was psyched when Iger returned.

Quoted from TheLaw:
It didn't make much monies so they already shelved the sequel look a decade ago. Then the Tron Ride was being build as Disney so we always assumed a sequel would be made

Tron 2 made a really good profit, but it was stuck in right when the MCU was taking off and Disney had bought Star Wars… something had to give. I’m amazed the 2nd sequel is actually being made but there ARE a lot of fans, so it’s pretty easy money, even if it’s not a top 10 of all time blockbuster

Quoted from benheck:
Set the final Toy Story in a dump and go all dark Mad Max with the toys falling apart, every kid in the audience bawling and I'll show up.
Til then no thanks.

You guys know you’re not the target audience, right? Watch them bring out the bulldozer to collect on the box office earnings
