Some people don't love heights AND water combinations though...

It's sometimes better than heights and hard ground combinations.

I'm always disappointed in the Sanderson sisters (Hocus Pocus people) merch for the Halloween parties. I love that movie and I'd like to throw some money at it but I think, frankly, all the designs have been hideous. Maybe it's just not my style, but I'm always disappointed.

I have to agree somewhat. The artwork for 2015 and 2016 is a bit... uh... amateur-ish? It's not HORRIBLE, but it's just not up to the professional quality and skill I expect from Disney. I did, however, like the stuff that was pulled for this year.

Maybe because Disney didn't do it?

It is amazing! But be prepared to not really care about what happens the rest of the day

Keeping premium content off the streaming service really hurts the appeal. Does that mean they won’t go on at all or when dvd sales start they’ll be added (I know you don’t have the answer rteetz but just speculating to myself).

Probably when DVD sales start. I can't imagine them not being added at all.

Interesting about the premium content - though I still think things like the upcoming "made for tv" remake of Hocus Pocus will be "made for streaming" in the future

How about 'not made at all'

ICYMI, this is the second day in a row that Disney's Social Media handles all fell silent. They were silent since yesterday IIRC.

Sorry, but what does that mean -"handles all fell silent"?

Couple of points.

1. I agree you would still need to go to the Cinema. Disney doesn't want to loose those $$$. New content can still be exclusive to the service when released on disc or before other platforms.

2. So is the decision on the Han Solo film that they are going to release it or still deciding whether to axe it?

3. Thank God they didn't buy Twitter. Nasty platform that breeds trolls and hatred.

Yep...it's been that way since NEVER...

I'm either blind or they have never had any all you can eat ice cream options...why would they?

Ice cream isn't like coke products...the overhead cost is decent...so I'm surprised they're even doing this now.

You see, they were moving Walt out of the freezer and found a couple hundred tubs behind him. Figured might as well burn through these tubs from '75.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Iger also said he would step down after his contract expires in 2019. "One thing Iger was definitive about was that he will step down as CEO of Disney when his contract expires in July 2019. "This time I will," he said as the talk was wrapping up."
