So The Mandalorian isn't gonna be removed from Disney+ after all. I'm so glad because I was worried about missing the rest of Season 3 of The Mandalorian. I think the main reason why Disney+ is getting rid of most content is because I think some of the audience didn't find it worthy of watching. I'm also surprised that Disney+ is removing Willow The Series because although it was worthy of watching I think people found it confusing but I'm glad I got to see it. With all the new series coming soon I think this change means that Disney+ will improve itself greatly. Speaking of Disney+ they will add Home Improvement reruns June 28th
Sounds like they're going back into the Disney Vault of old.
I just don't understand why they're removing the newer shows that can still build, especially Benedict Society and Willow. The shows are already filmed, edited and released. Isn't it better to have them out there and get some views? It doesn't cost that much to keep them in the cloud. Maybe it's a tax thing.
I'll cross my fingers they release them on disc ... sometime. I thought Willow was really good. And Benedict Society was a great adaptation of the book!
Sad

I still don't get it. Most of these shows were produced by Disney for Disney+. So they would be paying royalties to... themselves. I guess I'm missing something.It's a royalties thing. They have to pay roayalties every time they are watched. Presumably, they are making that back in subscribers, but that has been the challenge with streaming.

My kids were big fans of Big Shot. I guess this means they won't be making more of those. Trivia: John Stamos is a HUGE DIsney nerd.
Big Shot got cancelled a while back. We liked it although the second season was a bit ho-hum.I still don't get it. Most of these shows were produced by Disney for Disney+. So they would be paying royalties to... themselves. I guess I'm missing something.

I hope they replace it with every episode of the Wonderful World of Disney. We are the money having demographic.
- Most, if not all of the content being removed from Disney+ is live-action Disney+ original shows and movies that were greenlit and/or released under Chapek's watch. Still, sucks that they're going to become pretty much lost media, because there are no other (legal) ways to watch them online
Well, they have to pay roylaties to teh actors and writers and anyone entitled to such through contract. It can vary by the production, but I think that's why. The thing is, not many people were watching thse shows anyway, so I'm not really sure how much they can save. I guess it adds up.
They can write off the production cost as a loss. This is to keep from paying so many taxes on the few hits they have had lately like Spiderman no way home and Avatar.
Avatar was so huge for Disney, with many of their other releases underperforming at the box office. Without Avatar Disney TV and Theatrical has likely lost money the past two years. They are predicting the new Pixar release "Elemental", is not predicted to do very well at the box office.
Need to get back to focusing on good stories that the fans want to see told. Focus on the story first and foremost and let everting else become secondary.
