I'm a bit confused about this passage at the end:
They don't give any examples of talent getting kicked out (I can only recall Roseanne and Gina Carano) and finding success, and it's not like it would be so difficult to find a 'conservative' foil for the right price.
Can you name a single Disney animator at all? I can't think of any. Those sort of people can take their skills elsewhere fairly easily and adjust their style to match another, less toxic studio
This.
There's been numerous moments over the last few years where somebody writes an article noting that Disney shut entire studios for certain diciplines, not because they weren't profitable, but because they no longer employed anybody to work in them.
2d animation is one. But there were others too
The guy who made Anastasia was a former Disney guy.
The guys that are in charge of Phineas and Ferb also wrote and drew for Family Guy, SpongeBob, and whatever the sex talking dingo was. Disney as a company competes with Universal and Nickelodeon, while the people working for them go back and forth.
Disney only has one artist for all the animated Disney movie characters. He's mostly used for the theme parks now.
