This Bob Iger comment tells you all you need to know about the sorry state of Disney

during a quarterly earnings call on Tuesday. “The team is one that I have tremendous confidence in,” he began. So far, so good.

But A-Iger wasn’t finished yet.“And the IP that we’re mining, including all the sequels that we’re doing, is second to none,” added Bob-Bot 2000.Forget “when you wish upon a star.” Now, it’s “when you drill upon IP.”Even though Marvel Studios, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and many other House of Mouse properties have wobbled the past few years with uninspired retreads that the ticket-buying public has given the cold shoulder, the clueless exec is still laser-focused on more sequels and universes.A company that was once a bastion of newness, talent and innovation has become a bunch of talking trademarks. “We had gone through a period where our original films and animation, both Disney and Pixar, were dominating,” Iger said. “We’re now swinging back a bit to lean on sequels.”A bit?!Just this year alone, theaters will get “Inside Out 2,” “Moana 2” and “Mufasa: The Lion King.”Then in 2025 there’s “Zootopia 2,” and in 2026 comes “Toy Story 5.” Everywhere you look, there are numbers and colons.And, as if the situation couldn’t get any bleaker, while all of those familiar follow-ups are being pumped out, Disney will also deliver live-action remakes of “Snow White” and the first “Moana.” It’s a small world after all, indeed.Meanwhile over at mopey Marvel, which has had embarrassing misfires with “The Marvels” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” Iger said the brilliant strategy there is to simply do slightly fewer projects.
