Walt Disney's share price has dropped to its lowest level in nearly nine years as the company struggles in the age of streaming, causing concern among investors. Throughout its history, Disney has adapted to new technologies and challenges, from embracing sound and color in the early days to later embracing computer-generated animation. Now, as the company turns 100, it faces the challenge of streaming and investors are closely watching how Disney will navigate this new landscape.

Shareholders need to be fired into the sun. All they care about is money, and it’s destroying society.

While the big problems facing humanity are extremely complex and multifaceted meaning the solutions will have to be too, destroying shareholder/investment capitalism would be an incredibly helpful first step. It breeds apathy and self centeredness

With the rapid improvements in the field of rocketry right now, this is quickly becoming a viable option!

Sure. Disney's main problem is streaming. It can't possibly be the quality of what they produce. I mean, it's not like they own half of the valuable entertainment IPs in the world, right?

Have they tried not being outrageously expensive? Maybe start by not charging for access to all their hoarded content and much higher than average to watch each new movie they release?

Maybe not be in the sweet spot where LGBQ people think Disney is anti-gay while the MAGAheads think that Disney is brainwashing them into liking same-sex.

Kathleen Kennedy from another dimension is to blame...

That's what South Park says anyway.

Stop making movies to pander to current politics. Instead, go back to making timeless movies that tell a story. Not everything must have a moral.

What movies of theirs pander to current politics and how?
