Disney Plus

[Hannibal Scorch]

Well @Keith Houchen I don’t pretend there are things about them I hate either. For example recently laying off over 30k staff whilst the CEO got millions in bonuses. But then I feel that way about let’s of companies and how they’re run. I’m not going to say your wrong at all, because I get it.

No allegedly about it. I hate Disney because of their business practices more than because of their founder being a massive racist. 

“Yes he may be in prison, but I still listen to my Lostprophets CDs”. 

Disney literally pushed lemmings off a cliff to their death. Fuck them, fuck their inherent Uncle Remus racism, and fuck the way they are killing film libraries. The Jungle Book alone is problematic as fuck. 

 

I can't think of many more brands so immoral, and I'm on first name terms with G*****e G****way.

And Eurodisney fucking robbed me blind on a school trip in 1999.

Ah, then yes that is bad. For some reason my head went to the CGI films, just for the record I agree with the 'Disney are bastards sentiments.'

Maybe a mod can move this to its own thread then as it’s veered so off topic.

I’m pissed off that as expected Dinosaurs wasn’t there this morning. But they have confirmed the launch of The Might Ducks spin off which might be alight

Mighty ducks spin off sounds fun. I always enjoyed the first two.  Most streaming services are really starting to up their games now.

Seeing Fox stuff on Disney Plus is good. Will Alien and Predator movies be made under Disney? I doubt it personally.

Highly possible as the Fox Searchlight guys have been kept on under Twentieth Productions to basically operate as Disney's new Miramax.

What's the thing about killing film libraries? Is it related to their lobbying about extensions for copyright terms? If not, fuck them for that also.

It was, but god knows why. It's not like it's been shown over here within the last 20 years anywhere

Maybe we'll get it eventually.

Same. My trip was probably part of the same scheme. A travel day spent cramped on a coach and sitting around on a ferry, only for most of the Euro Disney attractions to be shut and not a parade in sight. Spent more time travelling to the place than actually being there, and most of the in-park time was spent in lines for the few rides that were open. I just ended up doing Space Mountain twice, this shitty haunted house and ate an over-priced burger before heading back to the coach. I think I took more photos on the ferry than the park itself.
