Part 1/9:
The Troubling Decline of Disney's Franchises: A Deep Dive into Indiana Jones and Beyond
Disney's Repeated Failures and Frustrations
Once again, Disney finds itself in hot water due to questionable creative decisions that threaten the integrity of beloved franchises. The latest example comes from Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which faced significant backlash shortly after its release. This film, which premiered at Cannes on the same day as Disney’s similarly troubled Galactic Star Cruiser project, has been met with lukewarm reviews and negative word-of-mouth, casting a shadow over Disney’s once-reliable blockbuster formula.
