Why Disney Tanked In 2023

Disney is taking hit after hit at the box office and marked its first (non-pandemic) year since 2014 in which it failed to release a billion-dollar movie. And apparently, Hollywood workers are all too aware of what the issue is.

Here, Glenn Beck speaks with Film Threat founder and publisher Chris Gore, who has spoken with Disney insiders, including animators and current and former employees as part of a series of stories called “The Disney File.” He reveals some of his biggest finds: “All of the veteran talent has been driven from the company,” he says, “starting with John Lasseter. And his departure was not what was described in the media.”

And they’ve been replaced by what many Disney insiders have described as woke “activists.” Gore also describes a “toxic” work environment that pushes DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and trashes the company’s own movies. “I have never seen a company tube their credibility faster,” Glenn says. So, will Disney finally take a hint?

Adventures Of Santa Claus

Hey kids (of all ages), it’s Saturday Morning Cartoon time again! Christmas-style, even!

Last week, we covered Rankin/Bass’ origin story for the Big Guy with Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town from 1970. Later Rankin/Bass specials seemed to stay in continuity with that version. But this time, they went with something quite different.

L. Frank Baum, best known known for creating the Wonderful Wizard Of Oz and related stories, included Santa in his extended fantasy world-building. He put the rising Claus in a faerie forest that was more Narnia or Middle Earth than we were used to seeing for our jolly sleigh jockey.

Though the two Animagic Santa origin specials were made 15 years apart, the first one was repeated every year and was heart-canon for kids. This contradictory backstory went over like a lead balloon. Even though it does have more satisfying (albeit mostly implied) badassery on the part of Santa’s pagan allies.

This 1985 telefilm was the final Animagic stop-action production.  The full title is The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. Rankin/Bass would hang on a while longer with flat animation, including the Thundercats and Silverhawks of all things. More from the OldHorseman.
