What was said about them, by kind

industry (3)

1. industry (industry): Soul → Disney. Soul skipping theaters for free Disney+ release shows Disney+ is aimed at kids and families and keeps subscribers from churning.

   “it's a reason to not let your subscription lapse”

   The Big Picture · 300th Episode Ask-Us-Anything Mailbag Spectacular · 0:04:55 · Sean Fennessey (0.70 sure it was them)
2. industry (studio ownership): The French Dispatch → Disney. Because Disney owns the Fox Searchlight film, it is not expected to go to VOD.

   “the French dispatch is owned by Disney. It's a Fox Searchlight film.”

   The Big Picture · Emergency Mailbag: The Oscars Are Streaming and Hollywood Is Fighting Over Trolls | The Big Picture · 0:33:08 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
3. industry (industry): Disney → Alien franchise. Disney bought Fox for streaming content and franchises; Alien and Predator are design-based, not actor-based.

   “They are tied to designs.”

   Blank Check — Patreon · Alien: Covenant · 0:03:46 · unknown (0.40 sure it was them)

people (1)

1. people (people): George Lucas → Disney. Spielberg compared Lucas to Disney for putting out a vision so attractive you would be a fool to deny it.

   “George is a bit like Disney.”

Fun items about them

1. fun, about Disney: Griffin's thesis: the flop ended an entire kind of Disney live-action film.
