Fine, but all of their 2023 flops (other than Wish) were continuations of old, formerly successful properties. Even Haunted Mansion is a classic ride that millions and millions of people have visited. They've also basically burned through their 90's animated library, which is why they're now resorting to a Lion King prequel. Finally, their most recent remake of an animated classic, The Little Mermaid, flopped badly. Are you saying that two flops in a row -- but specifically of classic animation reboots -- is the magic number?
edit: don't forget 2023's Peter Pan and Wendy, which reportedly cost $170M and also released on Disney+ -- which has been losing Disney money ever since it launched lmao.
If only Walt had lived a lot longer, and streaming tech had come a lot earlier, we would have gotten the Disney channel we actually asked for.
