    Disney Brings Back Bob Iger After Ousting Chapek as C.E.O.

    Disney's stock price is down 42% since January and 54% since its peak in early 2021.

    Jim Cramer was calling for his firing on his show and said the balance sheet was a balance sheet from Hell according to the article.

    This was exciting news on one front, but may reveal wider industry issues not specific to Disney, namely the over investment in streaming. So many issues implicated.

    Iger is one of the best CEO’s in Fortune 500 history. Big win for Disney and reminds me of what Starbucks did.

    heard a good story this AM on how against the advice of lawyers he personally called the parents of the kid who was killed by an alligator at the park.

    A strong leader and beloved by employees

    Wonder if Disney will wake up and send the woke packing.
    Would be nice to see a normal Disney movie again.

    Considering that he was CEO from 05 to 20, the rise of the woke, I'm guessing not.

    Made up culture war from the cons who are tired of losing at the polls so they use this to rile up the base.

    Iger is a fantastic CEO and this is a huge win for Disney and a huge win for them against Desantis, in which Desantis was already backing down.

    Making a movie with characters my kids can relate to instead of stuffing gay and women rights down my throat.

    The woke for me are people who are more concerned about the .001% making life difficult, creating environment impossible to navigate for fear of misspeaking or not bowing to the woke. For those with traditional values, we are made out to be the enemy of the left agenda.
    It’s Primarily libbies who complain about life not being fair. Excessive accommodations.
    Send that crowd to bench.

    Or …moral decay in today’s society that is either normalized or pretended not to exist by the left.

    Have you ever considered that trying to enforce your "traditional" values on others is the real problem? Should the rest of the country be required to live by your values?

    How do I do that? I like to think I can consider a different idea or POV. Curious how you think I’m doing that.

    22, 21, 19. which movies do you find offensive?

    I suspect this is much like crime, the narrative doesn't match the reality.

    I don't think "traditional values" should be shoved down anyone's throat. The point is that the movies that Disney made in the 90's, if made today, would have a random gay or trans character that has nothing to do with the story placed in it. Lighting McQueen would have been gay (for no reason) or there would have been a Mrs. and Mrs. Potato Head in Toy Story (also for no story reason other than to show how great we are for showcasing being a lesbian).

    That probably explains a lot. My kids are young and Disney has/had some influence on my children.
    I can’t think of a newer movie since like 2016 that didn’t have a gay inference or main character in it.
    Also, tired of the white males getting shit on.
    My kids notice it all on their own.
