    I think you have a typo where you describe Bob Chapek’s statement. According to the article, what he said was:

    “I always say that when our fans and our audiences put their kids to bed at night after watching Pinocchio or Dumbo or Little Mermaid, they’re probably not going to tune into another animated movie. They want something for them.”

    And the writer of the article is clear that parents may not be interested in watching another animated film. However, he appears to be making the point that the CEO of Disney shouldn’t be suggesting that people move away from Disney content. It might seem ridiculous that adults would want to continue watching Disney, but at the same time, keeping eyeballs on Disney content is a big part of the Disney CEO’s job.
