The Acolyte is a Disney Star Wars show for women, by women. Obviously. But Disney sent an e-mail blast promoting the soundtrack as a Father’s DAY gift idea. Clearly there is some disconnect between the audience Disney has for Star Wars (70% men) and the audience it thinks it wants. Good luck with that...

Anyway, Disney isn’t crowing about the streaming numbers, and the audience appreciation index isn’t being posted anymore. But good news -- they have TikTokkers under 30 watching the show now. So there’s THAT...

Pixar’s future success depends on their ability to create original, universally relatable movies and successful sequels, while avoiding predictable and boring content.

00:00 Pixar’s future is at stake with the success of "Inside Out 2" as Disney pressures them to avoid another box office disaster, and doubts linger about whether they have learned from past mistakes.

02:07 Pixar’s latest movie is projected to fall short at the box office, but is doing well in pre-sales and is being compared to Toy Story 4, with reviews saying it’s a safe and warm continuation of the first movie, and Pixar needs to deliver what people expect from their films.

04:59 Pixar must return to its reliable and family-friendly storytelling to avoid rethinking its business model, as recent films like "Turning Red" are not resonating with audiences as well as their more universal tales.

07:08 Pixar’s future success depends on the box office performance of their upcoming movies, as recent disappointments have put them at risk of being sacrificed by Disney.

09:09 Pixar needs to find new big ideas after getting rid of their successful idea team, and they are strategizing to balance sequels with new movies to attract audiences back to theaters.
