Disney is banking on a password crackdown and spate of sequels as it pushes to make its streaming business profitable.

The company, which is under pressure as audiences move away from traditional pay-TV and cinema, said it was on track to meet its goals after new subscribers and price rises helped to narrow losses in its streaming business.

    The ones you didn’t like my kids loved, so maybe you’re just not the target audience anymore?

      I definitely am not the target audience for Turning Red. I admit that. And kids probably didn’t like Soul as much as adults. But if Disney/Pixar wonders why they aren’t getting the numbers they used to, they need to target the four quadrant audience, but more importantly have better writing overall.

      Kids like a lot of things… sometimes things that are truly awful. I used to be a kid who liked awful stuff growing up too. You can have a monkey character who says “poop” every other word and kids would find that hilarious. Doesn’t make it good. I’m not the target audience for Bluey, but I can tell it’s better than most things out there.

      Also, it’s definitely subjective. I’ve watched a lot of movies and television so I can see more unoriginality than others. I used to like the Knock Knock joke about the banana and orange… and the chicken crossing the road. But now, what else is new? How many stories about a character turning into an animal to learn a lesson do we need?

      There is plenty of things Ioved as a kid that I can look at objectively look at now and say if it was good or not. I’m not sure if a kids enjoyment says much about quality; I used to think Gex was better than Mario.

        I think kids enjoyment of a kids movie says quite a bit. Disney adults are weird.

          Where did I speak on Disney? Just had nothing original to say?

            Your first comment on this thread, after I remarked that the Disney movies that OP didn’t like are the Disney movies my kids liked, and you responded that kids are not a good judge of quality.

            You were speaking on Disney, apparently not knowing what you’re speaking about.

              No, I’m speaking on kids not being the best case for taste, they/you used the Disney example. I did not. That’s how discussions work, you dork. I mean you seem to be able to follow along until you add your own narrative, so I think you can figure it out.

                  Fucking brain rot, you think you’ve made a point but you only made yourself look more foolish. I know what the fuck my own point is. You say my kids like these movies, I say regardless of how you feel about it ‘kids don’t have the best taste’. That’s it. That’s the point. I dunno why people can‘t seem to understand that sometimes people are talking about a certain part of their comments. It’s either being purposefully obtuse or straight up dumb. You can decide.

                    A group of people, standing on a corner on a sunny day. They are having a pleasant conversation about Disney movies.

                    Approaching quickly you blurt out “Kids have bad taste!”

                    “Huh?” The group replies. “I think they’re supposed to be for kids.”

                    “Fucking Brain Rot” you reply, shaking your head at their obtuse attempts at communication.
