Only a Disney CFO could make a statement about Frozen sound negative (as in Frozen makes this year "difficult" as compared to last year).

Now the CFO is talking about capital investments by explaining how much money Disney has returned to shareholders. Softening investors up for a big capex announcement?

Iger is waxing about how Netflix has been very good for Disney, specifically mentions the original Marvel programming. No mention of Hulu.

Use the force, Bob.

Stay tuned for more specifics about Star Wars in the parks. (not my statement, a quote from the earnings phone call).

I'm going to have to find the recording of the conference call. Even though I'm a recovering bean counter occasionally I like to listen to these.
