...and were heartily roasted for it.

They also have made themselves look exceedingly petty by coming down on the guy who made the very entertaining zoom-call-type movie collages on Youtube; the Star Wars films with all 9 movies at once has been taken down /replaced with a preview. As if one could actually save moneys by watching them that way on Youtube. Marvel films still up, it seems.

Thing is, they don't seem at all bothered by people calling them out on their pettiness.

They've probably got a thick skin from being so petty for so long.

There's only so many times you can cry yourself to sleep on your bed of money before you stop caring.

I mean, one would assume.

Oh no! That's really too bad because Disney have been the spearhead of cinematic art for decades now! What's happened?

This is afterall, a real quote, “We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement. To make money is our only objective.” – Michael Eisner, Disney CEO (1984-2005)

Well, they would get my lowbrow money if they managed to get their act together. Disney+ delayed here, again. Until September at least.

The great cancellation: why megabucks TV shows are vanishing without a trace | Television | The Guardian

Streaming: all the shows* at the click of a remote any time** you want
* Except the ones they produce and never show to save tax
** Except the ones they ones they show and then drop to save tax

It's a shame there arrrrrrrh no other options.
