Disney live-action movies are often accompanied by grand fanfare, but that's not happening for "Snow White." @Gizmodo explains why Disney is scaling back the movie's launch. "It’s beginning to feel like just another thing Disney has rolled back on to capitulate to conservatives, not unlike Pixar’s 'Win or Lose' trans storyline erasure," writes Sabina Graves.

Gizmodo · Why Is Disney Burying Snow White?As Disney looks to stage a diminished premiere for its latest live-action adaptation, it marks the end of a long and winding road of the studio's similarly long-and-winding lack of confidence in the film.

Suuuuuch a good show. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet!

#Disney is making the season 1 of #Andor available to #StarWars fans ahead of the show's Season 2 return. The live-action Star Wars prequel is now available to stream on #Hulu and #youtube.

The entirety of Andor Season 1 is now streaming on Hulu until April 22, when Season 2 debuts exclusively on Disney+. The first 3 episodes of Andor are also available to stream on the Disney+ YouTube channel.

The random arresting (read: kidnapping) of foreign tourists is going to have a significant cooling effect on tourism in the US. I live in Hawai’i, which was hit hard by the tourism loss brought about by the pandemic. I also grew up in Florida, where tourism is the major income generator. While #MAGA probably doesn’t care about Hawai’i, I’m sure they do care about Florida. And even if #Disney isn’t one of their buddies, they are the money-driver in the state… Working against their interests again

Oooooooh we could've had an Okoye, the Wakandan Warrior Live action series but nooo!

Instead Disney is busy cancelling the Tiana animated series and memory-holing any mention of LGBTQIA+ people in any and all kids media...

Super Zusammenfassung 👇🍿

"Zusammengefasst haben wir heute in Deutschland also ein legales Streamingangebot, das so fragmentiert ist, dass man auch mit mehreren Abos nicht alles zu sehen bekommt, was man möchte
[...]
Dem gegenüber steht ein illegales Angebot, bei dem man wirklich alles bekommt. Und zwar mit bestmöglichem Bild und Ton, ohne Werbung und als Download..."

heise magazineGeplatzte HollywoodträumeEinst galt Streaming als das bessere Fernsehen: ein Abo, alles sehen. Doch heute sind Nutzer mit steigenden Kosten, fragmentierten Angeboten, Werbeunterbrechungen und rigiden Zugangsbeschränkungen konfrontiert. Während Hollywood gegen illegale Plattformen vorgeht, wächst die Unzufriedenheit der Kunden und treibt viele zurück in die Illegalität.
