The recent exodus of executives comes amid a broader pattern of underperformance in Disney’s recent projects. The live-action remakes that once buoyed the studio’s profits—such as "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast"—have increasingly become liabilities, losing hundreds of millions due to waning audience interest and inflated production costs. The highly anticipated "Snow White" remake, starring Rachel Zegler, is widely regarded as a potential disaster in the making, adding to fears that Disney’s creative decisions are veering off-course.
