[MUSIC] Hi everyone, it's Roger here, Farm What's on Disney Plus. Big hello and welcome to everybody. This week is doing the same thing. We do every Sunday where I answer your questions. If you are a YouTube channel member or a Patreon, you can submit your questions in advance. Also, if you are a YouTube channel member, you can join in live on the live stream. I'm starting to see a big hello and welcome to Keenan, Caleb, Bubba trolling. Hello to all of you, you can all hear me, which is good. Also, you can use the Super Chat function as well to send in your questions or you become a member, all of which help support the channel and it is a huge, huge help because then we're less reliant on advertising and it's very tricky right now. But again, big thank you to all of my supporters. It really does mean a lot. It's why I love doing this every single week, just being able to talk to you guys and have something a little bit more off the cuff and kind of did something a bit fun. So we've got lots of questions today. So let's jump into it. So what I would tend to do is I would do a few of the pre-done questions, jump into the live chat and backwards and forward. I mean, as long as we've got some questions, usually it's about an hour or so. All right. So Keenan says, we have seen a lot of animated sequels have big box office bigger than the first. Could there be an inside out free? So first part is obviously, I think it's going to be interesting with Moana because sometimes when a new movie comes out, people are a little bit more skeptical of going and seeing it because it's a new franchise. They aren't so aware of it. And so what will tend to happen then is like, say, like with Moana. Well, I think it was like a five, six hundred million dollar movie. But because it's been so popular on streaming, so many people now will have seen it either in cinemas or they rented it or they brought it or they watched it on Disney Plus or they watched on television, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So now the amount of people that have seen Moana is far, far higher than it was when the first one came out, or I'll say the first one came out, when we were aware of Moana as a brand, you know, at the theme parks and all the rest of it. And also it has been a huge, huge success. So that means when that second movie comes out, it's instantly got a much higher chance of getting a bigger box office, which is why franchises and sequels are so popular. So that's the thing we've inside out to. It has done an incredible number. I think it's over 1.2 billion. This is going to be a hard one for this year to beat. I'm not even sure if Deadpool is going to beat it, actually. I think this one's going to be a good, a good, good, big hit. And again, people will have seen inside out in a number of different ways. So now when the first movie came out, yeah, kind of like he had the role of the dice to see if it was any good. Of course, going into the second one, more people are familiar with those characters and all the rest of it. So that definitely kicks in on that one. But I do think we are going to see an inside out three, the success of inside out two. I think pretty much makes it a it is going to happen. Now, this could be 10 years away. I don't think they're going to rush straight into it. But I would be very, very, very doubtful if a third one hasn't already now been drummed up and put on to the schedule. So, Keenan says part of it is due to inflation. Yeah, I mean, obviously, that is a big part of why movies generally do better each time they come out, because the simple truth is if a cinema ticket cost $5 in 2016 and it costs $7 or $8 now, yeah, it doesn't need if they sold the same amount of tickets, you would have expect it to have more. But obviously, inflation does have a big impact on it. It's why, like, things like gone with the wind, if you took it into inflation. So, just have a quick look as it's got me interested. Box, office, adjusted for inflation. Let's just have a quick look. So, here's just an idea. Right. So, in terms of inflation, I've gone with the wind, it has the average lifetime growth of $1.8 billion. So, that is huge in terms of inflation. And that's obviously, I think that must be, that can't be internet. It can't be, maybe with inflation and stuff, that's how it works. But, yeah, so gone with the wind was $1.8 billion, which is the biggest. Star Wars episode four, A New Hope, was $1.6 billion. Sound of music, $1.3 billion. However, in terms of inflation, Avengers Endgame would actually, in terms of this calculation, would be right at number 16, at 871 million. So, you see there, when it's put into inflation, things get very different. But also, with that, there's something awesome to take into account. When gone with the wind came out, when did that movie come out? Gone with the winds, I must be gone with the 1939. So, no televisions, no internet. The only way of going and seeing that movie was at the cinema. So, therefore, I mean, there was World War II going on at the time. So, that obviously would have impacted in some countries, like here in the UK. But, yeah, you had only way of watching a movie was to go to the cinema. So, yeah, so you can see, well, same thing with Star Wars, a new hope. There was, you know, we had televisions at home. I don't know if Bay the Max was out by then. I think that might have been a bit too early. But, yeah, so the only way of watching this stuff would have been at the cinema. So, comparing it to now, where we have so much choice to watch at home, that is a very, very, very big thing. But then, and also, as Kim says, back then, theaters had re-releases for films. Well, they re-released them in cinemas, because, again, there was no other way of watching it. So, if you say you watched Star Wars, a new hope, and six months later, or a year later, or even three years later, and you're like, I'd like to see that movie again. Oh, well, I got no way of seeing it. The only way of going and seeing it is if it was re-released. That's why Disney used to re-release this animated film was constantly, because it was, you know, families would all go on the weekends and kids and stuff, because it was the only way of watching it. And I think it's kind of lost, maybe, on that concept of why that worked at the time, and how different today is. But, yeah, that was an interesting one. Daniel says, do you think Disney will ever do 20th century? Do you ever think Disney will let 20th century studios make video game movies? It's one genre film. I would love to see more of them. See, I kind of come into this from the other point of view. Of, I am a huge, I am a huge video game fan. I have been playing video games since the days of the Atari with Pong, so I'm really old. I've had every, pretty much every console. I pretty much play video games pretty much every day. I don't think, in a lot of cases, that actually movies translate, or games don't translate very well to movies sometimes, because, especially on some epic ones, you're talking about trying to condense like a 40 to 50 hour story down into two, and I don't think they can do it. And sometimes, you can take a character like Super Mario, and there isn't enough story to justify a movie. So they got to kind of balance it. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 actually was trending on Disney+ in the US today, which was interesting to see. There's definitely a market for it. I think now we have got to a point where generations have moved along, where things are kind of, we're more used to it. Like Mario now, you've got parents and et cetera, that grew up with Mario, that will feel much more at home with that, and same thing like with Sonic, et cetera. Now I do like, I mean, there's some really good movies that I've been, especially recently, I think they've got it a little bit better. But not just because it's a video game story, doesn't mean that it's going to translate into film. The film still has to stand out on its own, but still have to be good. It still has to have a very good story. And that is definitely a thing for that one. Keenan says, "Are the 2024 Paris Olympics going to be on Peacock Live?" I believe so in the US. I think that's how it's working. I'm not going to lie, I have no interest in the Olympics. It's a sports day that takes place every four years. All I tend to think with this is, if everyone was so interested in people doing, you know, running around a circuit and, you know, all these other things that they do, why don't people watch it all year round? Why do they only watch? Why are we only interested in sports day every four years? And I hated sports as a kid. And yeah, the Olympics to me is a huge colossal waste of money. And I do not understand why everyone gets so excited about someone just doing a little track and, or, so I am not the, I am not a fan of the Olympics. I just don't get it. Tim says, "Is Halley's on it coming back for season two?" I don't know. And just because it left on a cliffhanger doesn't necessarily mean that it's coming back pretty, was it freakin scary? I didn't make sure I said that right. That one out of cliffhanger didn't come back. Maybe he's got a good chance, but I don't know. I mean, I hope that they do. It'll be good if they did. Matt says, "Could we see more live shows and sports "on Disney bus this year?" So obviously going to be getting dancing with the stars. There might be another concert or so. But I think in general live, live television and live events, there doesn't seem to be as many as there used to be. I think that kind of the cost element of kind of kick down and they want to do editing. Live sports is definitely going to become, I think, a bigger thing for Disney Plus, especially in the United States. I think that's going to be a major, major thing. Keenan says, "Remember when 20th century and Disney merged "and 20th century were releasing a lot less films then? "Well, if Paramount Plus and Peacock did that, would, "it'd be the same for them." Now, I think that's definitely, I think there's a difference here. First off, when Disney and 20th century studios merged, they did drastically cut back on the amount of films that were being released. But also, the biggest problem with that was we then, within a year, we then hit the pandemic. So I think that kind of threw a lot of the problems into, it made an impact on what, how many movies they were able to release. Also, they shifted the focus to making sure they had the films for streaming because they needed them. I think they were also trying to counterbalance the deal that was in place with Warner for HBO Max. They were also, I think, just trying to save money and just a lot of the big projects all got canned. And, but the thing is with this, how we talk about Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount is the big question is gonna be is, if not re-emerge it, if they've merged their streaming services together, the studios are still gonna be making their own independent movies. Now, whether or not someone, it looks like Skydance is gonna be picking up Paramount, but it could change. They've already, if that's changed a few times. So we can't guarantee that that's gonna happen. But I think you are gonna see less releases for them because if they're trying to save money, they just kind of fall to keep doing it. Yeah, and as Kated there said, 20th Century didn't merge with Disney. Disney acquired 20th Century. If Paramount and Peacock merged, it's a merge of streaming services since the, yeah. So the two companies would still be happening. The one only thing about it says when I was young, when I missed a movie in the cinema, the next chance to say it was five years later on television, it was shown only once the next repeat would be years down the line. Yeah, this was the thing. We used to have a movie would come out in cinemas and it wouldn't be on television for four to five years. It might be usually would be out to rent usually a year later and it would be available to rent for a long time before you were able to purchase it. But they had a long leads. They were really kind of trying to make sure that you did it. And you did not expect a new movie to arrive. I mean, I think they were on, like, they did start adding them on to like pay-per-view and like sky cinema and kind of premium like channels. So they were still the windows. But yeah, we were very much having the way. And, you know, we've got to a point now where like some people were expecting movies so quickly. And it's like, but I think also, I think the world has got a lot less patience and everything is now, I want it now, I don't want to have to wait, I want to watch it. And I think that's in general. And I think just, I think this kind of haste and lack of willing to wait is a problem. And I think, you know, and I don't think the studios can do anything because I mean, I think they could help sometimes with maybe like not, I think they need to stop pronouncing stuff so far in advance to allow for people to just be like, you know, when they say there's a movie coming out, it doesn't take full, you know, like blades, like eight years for it to come out kind of thing. I don't think that helps. I think, I actually, you know, in that kind of way is, I get this asked a lot about like, I don't know if there's a couple of questions or I'll leave it for later, but there is, you know, there's sometimes, you know, patience. And also, you know, it's like people want the second season or referred season, like the second after the day after the finale. And it's like, it's just, again, I think people have patience as a lot, lot, lot less. Keenan says, back in the 80s and 19s day of VHS and lasers. Yes, I had them both. I had mountain and mountains of VHS. I didn't have that many lasers. I couldn't afford that many of them. They were a bit expensive. And to be honest, I was kind of right on the tail end of the DVD kind of kicking in. Unless you do some questions, Keenan says, I believe it'll be, take some time for inside out free, definitely. Keenan also says, why would there be big gaps between the sequels? They've got to allow these franchises to rest a little bit. We've seen with, also it takes years. It does take, I think, three or four plus years between the movies to get them ready, to get storyboards, get all the tech and stuff ready. But also, we've seen what's happened with like Marvel and Star Wars, where if they turn them out too quickly, it can cause a problem. So they need to be careful with not turning out movies too quickly together. Keenan said, what are your thoughts on John Cena announcing his retirement? That's just a retirement from wrestling. He's still going to be making movies. I made headlines on ESPN. It even actually made the radio. I was driving, me and my wife went out for breakfast this morning. And it was even on the radio that he had announced that I had already told my wife that she was like, oh, is he going to stop making movies then? I said, no, that would be better. Yeah, so it is, I think it's right for him to do it. He looks like he's going to be doing like a tour in the way. He's still going to be popping up on WWE anyway, but I think it's probably right that he maybe acknowledged the fact that his run as a wrestler is coming to an end and just let him retire. And also, I definitely feel with the wrestler as well, let them retire. I mean, if he comes in and does the, you know, you know, FU and stuff on that, you know, I think that would work for far, or attitude adjustment. That's so good to be what they adjusted it. Oh, trolling says, do you think that Disney Plus channels is not true? Well, again, nothing, this was like these live channels or these channels that were going to be added to Disney Plus. Again, this came through one of the, one of the major news outlets. It's never been a fishy announced by Disney. And I think, again, people take this concept of they hear, you know, they're a seller. Oh, we're working on this project. And then it comes out for like CNBC or Wall Street Journal or something like that. And our expectations are that it's like ready to go like that day. Again, it hasn't been a fishy announced. There's no official date. So therefore, we have to remember that these, when it comes through these kind of sources, things can take a long time. And Disney's especially is proven with Disney Plus, that when they announced something that's changing, it takes a long time for it to creep through. Look how long Hulu and Disney Plus took. Look how long they're going to take for this ESPN on Disney Plus. Look how long even just the password cracked out on that taking. Let's see what we've got here. I can't even say we did get video games that are themed from The Simpsons. Yeah, you did get the cozy everywhere in as well. Knoxville says he's pretty sure that there will be a fair inside out since it's made a billion. Yeah, I definitely think that's going to be the case. Matt says, do you think we're getting an announcement for an upcoming Expo movie? Oh, no, no, I don't think they will. And the reason for that is, again, when would that movie be coming out? Because you've got to look at, they've already set up 2025. You know, we're getting Brave New World and we're getting Fund the Bolts and we're getting Fantastic Four and Blade apparently. I just think that's moving. And then we're going to be moving into the following year. And then we've got to have, there'll be a Secret Wars. And then the following year, there's going to be Secret Wars. And then maybe. So they haven't even filmed the two Secret Wars movies yet. I mean, I think we'll get a layout of the phase four or phase five and phase six a bit better. But I do think they should just let's, let's get the Avengers over with, let's get the multiverse saga over with and not start worrying about, you know, the next saga before we've even finished this one. Yeah, I think that's kind of an issue. Tina says, speaking of John Cena, did you see Money in the Bank in this post show? I did see, I've seen all the clips on YouTube this morning. I didn't watch a bit of the post show. Didn't surprise me. I thought the whole thing with Drew McIntyre winning and then getting screwed over. I think that helps with the storyline with Punk and it also helps the storyline for Rogan, sort of Seth Rollins, sorry, not Seth Rollins. Also as well, I think, unless it's, I've seen a lot of people like talking about how they would want one of the other superstars to have the Money in the Bank instead of Drew 'cause they wasted it. But the thing is now is Priest held that chat that Money in the Bank belt or sort of not money in the bank briefcase for so long that he only cashed it in a few months ago. I think the trouble is is that they kind of alternate it a little bit because now it's done, it's gone, it's in the, it's gone. And now we've got a whole year plus where they can, they're not having the hymn just turning out with the briefcase and that whole like, is it gonna charge in, is he not? It makes it more special. And obviously, well, Tiffy time is still gonna do it. So they could, they want to put the focus on her getting that bump. And so therefore, they do seem to do this almost annually now where one person gets it in, gets rid of it like with a day or two and then the other person goes on to it. They don't seem to have both holding it for very long. So I think in this case, it made sense for Drew. But nevertheless, Ricardo says, this month is gonna be Comic Con, a Marvel Studios will be present. I believe they're gonna only concentrate on the film site and TV shows will be on D23. I've heard that rumor as well. I think it might be a little bit more mixed. I think it would make, I don't think it makes sense to do all or all or either. I think it would make sense that maybe at Comic Con they do Agatha. And then, because that'll be a little bit closer to it. I think they need to address both. I don't, 'cause then they start turning one into, you start getting into the problem then of, oh, so San Diego gets all the movies. So that's the real announcement. And D23 is just the television and that doesn't count. They've gotta be careful that they don't make, television feel undesirable in their second choice and they also don't wanna make D23 feel like a second choice. So I think they would need to spread it out a little bit more than that. Okay, so after what happened in 2022 with Feige Blue's Load, it's better for him not to reveal too much. Underpromise and over-deliver. I do think they desperately need to get their concept of these phases. I mean, at the time, there was a lot of pressure on Marvel because people were like in phase four, like, where's all this going? What's going on? We need to know where it's going. We need an idea. So he told us. And then we all went, oh, it's gonna take too long. (laughing) It's just like, we can't really, I do think they probably would be better, just to maybe focus on one phase at a time in terms of announcements and maybe then what the next phase they'd like. So right now, we're in phase five, so we only really need to know about the rest of five and six. We don't, and also, you know, San Diego Comic Con happens annually. Or even like with D23 every two years, you don't need to be telling us what's coming out four to five years away that they've not even started filming. I mean, I think if they're gonna, if their plan is to start filming it, then maybe they can get out and like they wanna get that news out before it breaks on the trades and stuff. But they are, it does feel like a marvel that they're so far behind. Same thing with Star Wars. There's no point, they can't really announce a lot because they've already announced everything that's coming out over the next two to three years. So I do think they need to play a little bit close to their chest. Knox always says, do you think Marvel need to cancel the blade film because they have so many problems and productions, like for example, directors have left the project, and we'll go. Personally, I would say take it off the shelf, put it on the, put it on the back burner and go, what are we doing with this one? Are we gonna do Blade properly? Are we gonna do Midnight Suns or whatever else we're gonna do? But maybe I don't think Michelle Ali is the right person for it now. I mean, I worried about the age of him when they announced it. He's now even older. By the time this thing comes out, he's not the right person to be building this franchise. There's been reports and rumors, you know, they were trying to build up Blade's daughter and all the rest of it and then like, they all have learnt now that that is not what the audience wants. They want Blade. They don't want, they don't want the daughter. You know, they can, she can be a nice little add-on, but it's a Blade movie, they want Blade. And they've got, they've got the message. They know that the audiences are not happy. And yeah, I think Blade, I think they should, I think even if it's, even if it does carry on film as planned later this year, I think it's gonna bump into 2026. I don't think they're gonna put out four films next year. Ricardo says, "I think the reason they revived Marvel television for this reason, so not to make the MCU slate become so packed compared to the Infinity Saga." I think there's a couple of reasons for this. I think you're right in the fact of it making the MCU the timeline a little bit more freer. I also think they are more aware that they wanna make the movies feel bigger. Now, it was always that kind of weird thing. If they wanted to make the TV shows and the movies feel on par with each other and they didn't want that to feel the difference. Marvel Studios was a bit snobby with television of like, you know, that's not ours. We didn't create any of this stuff like in humans and cloak and dagger and dead, but that's not us. We don't wanna have any of that. We wanna do it all. And the truth is they tried making TV series, but they tried making movies instead of TV series and they just cut out there. They, you know, and like them saying like, you know, we didn't know how to make television shows a lot. But you worked for one of the biggest companies that's been making television shows for decades. Maybe you should have asked some of them for some help then if you didn't know what you were doing. Yeah, I think there was a thing of they had, I think they thought that they could do things a lot better than the television side. And I think they realized that they actually, maybe it's a lot harder than they realize. And also making television can be very expensive and doesn't bring in the same amount of income if you are spending two plus hundred million bucks on something like secret invasion. And it's just not as good. And having extra time is great if you use it better. And I think, you know, going back to a more traditional television format, I know there's a lot of people that don't like, you know, traditional television and stuff. And then, you know, it's a filler and it's just, there's not enough, you know, they want it bigger and bigger. Television just works differently to movies. Kay, it says the reason why they revived Marvel television was because far he underestimated how dumb the MCU fans are. I don't know about underestimated that. I think they overestimated how popular they were and how they were going to be able to make everything. And I think they just assumed we were all going to just go wrong. Have as much of it as we possibly can. And audiences started going, I don't like this. What's the point of this? I don't like it. And they were getting further and further away from like some of the characters that people didn't know. And they, you know, they built up characters in the past, but we were really getting into some of the scrap. And I think as well, like not having things more interconnected, the idea of we had like moonlight, She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Miss Marvel. They had all these series, but they weren't going anywhere. They were taking so long to get moving. Kay, it says, do you think Disney Plus will have a TVR for ESPN? Well, I mean, the live shows will probably will be available. There will be. The Rock just posted a teaser video about its collaboration with Disney. I do know it's going to be awkward when WWE promotes its future Disney projects as Netflix and USA networks are Disney rivals. Oh yeah, I haven't seen what that is. I'll have to have a look to see what's going on there. All right, let's jump back into some questions. If you've got any more, feel free to keep sending them in. Tim says, why haven't we seen the official trailer for Future Armor season 12 yet? Well, obviously we've had like a little teaser thing. The show doesn't come out for another three weeks. We know what Future Armor looks like. It's already got its audience. What would be the point of giving out a teaser trailer more than a couple of weeks away or a week or two away? It's not going to really help. And I think again, and there's a couple of questions here coming up about trailers and stuff. What would be the point of getting you to know about it weeks and months in advance? You only really need to know about this. Kind of the week it comes out, or the week before it comes out. And it says, I know you have tried to switch up how you do the podcast. Have you made a decision on how you go to podcast with B? Or are you still trying different things? I feel like I think I've definitely kind of worked out what I'm doing now. I have been doing a lot of experiments and stuff, trying out different things. I have kind of just decided, I think I'm just going to carry on doing what I'm doing. So you guys will get episode Monday to Friday and where I will talk about a couple of new stories. I'll answer a question. And obviously if you are a YouTube channel member, make sure that you on each daily video, if you put in your question, I will be probably more likely to put in a, but get that into the next video if it's good. Obviously if you ask, if it's, some of them have done a lot, or there's a better question, the other ones might still go through, but I will tend to look at yours a little bit earlier, so you don't have to wait for the Q&A. Also, this is the other thing. If anybody uses the super chat function to ask a question, that will probably definitely then be answered unless it's something inappropriate. But yeah, so if you really want your question answered, you can use that function. There, as far as like the switch here, I think I pretty much lined up how I'm doing it. It seems to work. When I do single story stuff, it can perform a little bit better, but some of the topics are very things. I kind of quite like being able to do like a review, and also making multiple videos takes longer, and yeah, it's just not. I do it, and after a few days, I kind of want to go back to what I was doing before, and that's what I kept happening, and then I do, yeah, so I'll get some episodes, and they just don't perform very well, and it's a bit disheartening when it's one after another. But sometimes it can just be dependent on the news, but I've kind of, I think I've reached a point now where I've decided that the format seems to work. It's very kind of shows that kind of inspired me in this would be like the third of Franco show, the IGN Daily Fix, that kind of thing. There's a few shows that go on this to anyone. If there's anything major, I will probably still jump in and do a special one, but also there's a lot less news than there used to be. There's just a lot less news, and a lot less shows to review and stuff, so that's obviously a problem, but sometimes some stories don't necessarily need like a full video, and sometimes I may be just maybe not as quite as interested in some topics you'll be able to tell when there's a topic that I really want to talk about, and I'll talk about that for six, eight, 10 minutes. And then, yeah, so yeah, that was a good question there. So what if you have guests on your podcast? So obviously trying, I've been trying to get like, interviews and stuff. This is certainly something I probably should do a little bit more, but I definitely feel like I should maybe do this. This might be a good idea for a, like a sadder thing. One of the problems is for having guests on is, a lot of it as well as scheduling. I'm obviously with me being in the UK, scheduling with other people can be a little bit difficult, especially if they're in the US. Getting your timing with other people can be quite difficult. It can take time to build that up. But a lot of it is scheduling, like, and this is why what I found with doing, with me just doing it on my own, I can kind of, I know I can do that. And I can, I sit the time aside. And if I'm not available, like say, like, say if I was like not available tomorrow 'cause I'm doing something, sometimes I can record the day in advance or I can kind of plan around it. But with guests, it can be tricky with getting things on. But you are right. I probably should do a lot more, but it's just, again, it's a lot more, and also some of the videos as well with interviews and stuff don't quite do. And again, just, again, just doing collaborations can be very tricky, especially with regards to time zones and stuff like that. You can put a thing up here. I think the reason is entertainment needs to slow down as a ton is recovering from the strikes. It's not so much as well. I don't think it's just from the strikes. I think we're seeing a massive reduction in the amount of, all the studios have drastically cut back on how much stuff they are creating. And this isn't just Disney. This is Netflix, Amazon, Peacock. Everyone is cut back. Peak TV is over, I believe. Like, you know, I think like this last year, about 400 shows were being made, like compared to 600, 700 in previous years. There's less movies being released. Disney is cut back considerably. You know, we have got a lot less releases. And I do not think this is going to change anytime soon. I think we're going to, especially with the, I think with the introduction of Hulu on Disney Plus, it fills the gap that they have got constant stuff dropping in and you're getting all the ABC and the FX and the National Geographic and all that kind of stuff. So they are much less reliant. They're not going to be as reliant on Marvel and Star Wars to fill the void, especially when they fully merged them together. So it's like this month, you know, we're getting future drama and we're getting, you know, descendants and, you know, I think there's a, like a couple of other shows dropping as well. That's right. Next month, only murders in the building. You know, these other shows are helping filling out the gaps so they don't live there. But I'm out there. There is a lot less and a lot less stuff being announced. And that is, we are probably never going to go back to the days of where Disney was announcing new shows and we're working on new stuff constantly. The constant new releases of new originals being released multiple times a week. We are just going to, and this is the new default. It's never going to go back to how it was. And yeah, I think we've all happened to adjust to a different system. But this is not, again, this is not just Disney. We're seeing this across the home board. They are all drastically reducing how much content because they were producing too much. Disney was especially, they were having way too much, way too much. Let's keep going here on the questions. Leon says, "Will Disney launch a new television streaming service with all their timeless and most obscure content?" No. Disney ain't going to launch a new streaming service when they've got Disney Plus and Hulu. They're trying to merge them together, so launching. And also, why the timeless stuff is on Disney Plus. And the simple thing is, you're asking for a product which is niche, which niche markets are not working the same way. But also, that stuff could be on Disney Plus. The simple truth is, legacy content is not performing as well as people assume it would do. And that is why has Disney Plus not released so many trailers this past few weeks? So again, this comes down to a couple of things. First off, again, the schedule has drastically reduced. They are now focused on core titles. So generally, their PR cycle is based around a few major things. We've seen the acolyte, we're building up now for that. We've got descendants this week. We're going to be coming up for Deadpool and Wolverine in a couple of weeks. We've already got the world tour going on that. Their PR money will only go so far and they're only going to spend promoting so much stuff at any given time. So again, the days, so with there being less movies and less shows coming out, that means we're going to be getting less trailers coming out because there's less. This is the constant like issue. And 'cause I was talking to this with my wife and mum the other day, it's this cycle of, if you take Disney, for example, and say that they have, I don't know, I haven't worked out the math, but say just as a pure guess, say they have reduced their output by 40%. Well, it's not just 40% less new stuff being arrived each week, but it's also 40% less trailers, 40% less character posters, 40% less interviews, 40% less previews. This is knock on effect of across the board of they're just being less. So you are seeing less trailers, less announcements. And so yeah, that's again why, and we've inside out too, is doing amazing numbers at the box office, what, you know, and they got Deadpool 2 coming out. So that's the focus of the theatrical thing. And as Keenan just said, and with D23 coming up, you know, they are saving a lot of stuff back for the big announcements will be made then. But even I'm like, considering if they've got that big presentation in the Honda Center, there's gonna be a lot of announcements, but I think there's a lot of people expecting like, in like, in vest-a-day announcements of, you know, 25 new shows in 10, 15, 25 movies, and people are gonna be really disappointed, I think, when the reality is of going, here's, 'cause I, I had this thought with D23 of, and this is one of the reasons why I actually, it's not the main reason, but I was looking at like the D23 of 2022. And there was a lot of stuff that was on the stage then. So Elio, Lion King, Captain America Brave New World, born, they're never born again. We had Skeleton Crew, we had, or I'm trying to think what I would say, Iron Heart, we had all kinds of shows, right? They haven't released any of them, Snow White as another one, for example. So, so now we're going in Thunderbolts, you know, all these kind of movies. We're now going into this year, and it's like all the, all those announcements that they did back at D23 and 2022, they haven't come out yet. Some of them still haven't yet been filmed, or they're still filming them. So they're going to be promoting them again. So most of the stuff, we might see some trailers and teasers and stuff, but those big announcements of they're being up, this brand new series is coming. It's like, well, when are they going to slot it in? When's a new Marvel show going to come out? They've already pretty much lined up 2025 and 2026, at which point they'll be into D23 26. So I think that is definitely because of it. Skeleton says as well, because of the strikes. The strikes have had an impact. But I think the thing is what, you know, when we look at the strike and it's like cut, it's obviously cut things down. The trouble is it cut things down, but it's not, that was like the acts that was needed to, they are not replanting the trees that they cut. And, you know, they're putting in a lot less shows, they're putting out a lot less stuff. And they are not, they are not doing as much because they can't afford it. They've been spending too much money and the strikes was their ability to be able to stop making stuff for six months to catch up, to start saving some money. But also they are, the strikes weren't, they were a symptom of the problem that they were facing. They took advantage of the strikes to be able to be like, hey, we can't make anything for six months. We've got so much freedom. Let's get all this out. And again, the strikes, you know, things will, you know, yeah, things are moving again, but they are making less and they're going to continue to make less. And I think the strikes obviously did have a bit of a bump or some of the things getting delayed and so on. But I think the studios wanted it. I think they really benefited from the point of view of cutting back all that expenses has really helped them be able to get their streaming services in. Stretch it, stretching out those releases. You know, it's like like Marlon Star Wars. If you're only releasing to say two Marvel shows and one Star Wars show a year. Well, that's going to, you know, if you're doing that, but compare that back to like two, three years ago where they were releasing three or four Star Wars shows a year and five, including the animated shows, I think for originally for 2022 or 2023, they had like nine shows coming out of all the animated stuff. It was too much. So if you take that much stuff and you spread that out to one or two a year, suddenly you've got three years worth. And again, that was going to have a knock on effect with Marvel studios. It's like all the animated stuff coming up for Marvel. So Spider-Man, X-Men, you know, what if zombies, eyes of a con that that's, that's five shows at least that we already know about. That's probably like three years worth of animation that's probably, so again, they don't need to, they're not going to need to tell us as much. And there's a good question. I'm going to, since nearly 95%, 97% of you think there's going to be an inside out. Let's do another, let's do another poll here. So do you think Disney's output will return to, say, pre-pandemic levels? Yes, or no. Let's see here in the live chat, let's see what we've got. That's a shocky poll. Yeah, 97% of people think there's an inside out free. I think that's very much along the lines of, yeah, that was probably a question. I probably, it was a little bit more like everyone's good, like there. Yeah, okay, here we go. So Matt says, what do you think Disney Plus will look like in 2025? Let's just say what it looks like now, but with an ESPN app. I have got my faith in the fact of Disney Plus doing any major changes to the front end of Disney Plus right now, as, well, nothing's really much changed. I mean, you look at Disney Plus in the US right now, and you compare it to what it looked like a year ago in the US. It is drastically different because you've got all this new content in there. The problem is, is that it only just looks like what we had in, like internationally, for the last three years. So I know like there was a, there was a good, someone posted something early today in a Facebook group, if you don't remember. Feel free to join up and join our 200 plus thousand members. There was a thing in there like, I think there was like sex tape, and there were some of like, like movies and stuff, and they go, "Oh, it was just all Disney Plus." And we're like, "Really, we're still doing this?" Because like, again, most of us internationally, we have had a long, long time used to this, and it is just standard kind of stuff. And it also says, "When would you think Disney Plus would get a redesign?" I think we're going to see slow gradual changes. I don't think we're going to see anything drastic. I don't think we're going to see them overhaul like this. I think we're going to see little incremental changes to make things better. And I'm hoping that when the Hulu and the Disney Plus side is sorted, and the ESPN stuff is sorted, it's at that point that when these big projects are out the way, then maybe they can turn around and be like, "Right." Now we've got this sorted. We now need to start prepping for making little changes, but things in there that we've been asking for for a long time. But they need to get these big things, because we don't know how long it's taking and stuff. And as Kim says, slow and steady wins the race. Disney Plus, I know a lot of people want there to be lots of changes, and there's lots of improvements they can make. There is lots of improvements. But it works. I mean, I think they need a better algorithm. Just because you've watched a bear doesn't mean that you want to watch Brave, that kind of thing. There's some other algorithm things. I don't even think it's an algorithm. It's almost like, "Oh, you liked a movie, so here's another movie." I think they need to work on that. Aliyah says, "Inside out Tuesday, premiere North American weekend was $152 billion, or $1 million, they would have liked a billion." So far stronger than Despicable Me's projected $120 million, which is over a five-day holiday. Fair to say that a talk of Universal versus Disney and Pixar is weak, was only on social media, and normies don't care. So, two things there. First off, Despicable Me. Despicable Me is a mega, mega franchise. It is extremely well-loved. I love it. I think it's great. I think you can't probably just say it. Actually, just above this here, I do actually have a minion. Despicable Me is a extremely well-boiled machine. It gets people in. It's going to get audiences going in. Families love it. It's stupid. It's fun. Kids love it. It's also, it's been very, very popular in the past, and I think it will continue to be. I don't think it's going to do as well as the previous movies. I don't think it's as strong. I haven't seen it, but reports seem to be that way. I only ever watched Despicable Me and Minions movie when they pop up on a streaming terrorist, and I'm not paying for them like that. But also, last time that movie came out was we had the rise of Gru, where all the kids were going into the cinema dressed in suits. That was a viral moment, and that kind of gave it a huge, huge boost. And I don't think we're going to see that replicated. I still think Despicable Me is going to do very well. I don't think it's going to be inside out too. Then let's get on to the Disney versus Universal and the Pixar is dead and all this kind of thing. So let's start off with Disney versus Universal. Universal gets away with so much more rubbish than Disney. Universal can do something, and if Disney did it, they would get slammed. But Universal does it, no one battles an eyelid. The expectations of Universal are much lower, and therefore they fly under the radar. They can do stuff at their theme parks and people don't care. Universal charges an absolute fortune for Express Fastlane. They've always done, they've always charged a lot. Disney brings in a fee, suddenly Disney is the devil. The Universal is more expensive. Now you can get it in the hotels and stuff, yeah. Disney Universal pits in a load of theme park rides that are full of screens. The Universal is a fantastic theme park, Epic Universe. I can't wait to go when we next go back to Florida. For me, whenever I go to like Disney World or go to or Disneyland or anything like that, I always go, we always spend a few days at Universal. Always have done. It's part of being in Orlando for you go to Universal. I love the Universal theme parks, love them. I don't really get the whole thing of, it's never really been a case of Disney or Universal whenever you go to Orlando. It's always, what will you do both? Why wouldn't you not do both? They're both amazing. So I don't get that. As far as like, yeah, but they also were able to get away with stuff. They also do a lot of stuff, a lot cheaper. Despicable Me is not pushing the boundaries in technology. They don't care in the same way. They don't have that same, people don't have that same emotional connection to Universal in the same way that they do with Disney. I think that's definitely something there. The Pixar is dead. Well, I think it is like, I think the trouble is with Pixar is dead. It's like, there's a lot of online, a lot of online hate over Disney. You know, the whole political thing and people were leaning on it. The trouble is, once Disney starts having success, that all starts becoming very difficult to keep maintained. There's a lot of YouTube, Grifters and all the rest of it. Every single thing as Disney does is awful. Everything is dreadful. And it is like inside out too. They were all like, it's going to crash. It's going to be another flop. Yeah, we can't wait for it. And it's a massive hit. And they're like, damn it. Next one's going to be a flop. It's, I think that is the thing. It's going to be very difficult this year when you've got inside act two, Deadpool three. And I think also Moana two are going to be some of the biggest movies of the year. That's like, yeah, they had a good year. But also Disney do need to listen. And they have been, they were listening to the criticisms of people of the movies in 2021 and 2022 and 2023. And they have been making adjustments. Seeing people talk about the fact that inside out too is the fact of it's safe. You know, it doesn't push any boundaries. It's not politically, you've not got an engender all that kind of stuff. And so people are more willing to go. And also it will perform better. It's a bigger, wide stream audience. It's got a bigger audience globally. And yeah, Disney's kind of, they pushed too far. They got pushed back. And now they've treated. And now they're making the focus of making sure that their movies appear to everyone, which is what they should have done. They, they got a little bit carried away, I think. I think they were listening to social media. I think a lot of companies and stuff. It's very easy when you've got social media of people going, and it's like it is. Like Elia says here, it is, it's on the internet. It doesn't always do it. And you know, these kind of things come in. That's not what he said. The same thing was, was said before Captain Marvel release. It will fail at the box office, but it earned a billion. Captain Marvel did. But you have to look at the Marvels and go what something that the audience rejected the Marvels for lots of different reasons. Captain Marvel, well, I really enjoyed that movie. But there is a simple truth. It is the, the Marvels, there was some, the audience did not want to watch it. They did get there with them all. Yeah, and I think, I think that the trouble is it's, they have to be careful. And I think the Marvels was one of those movies that it just, it, and also, I think the whole political thing right now as well is going to be a problem for at least another year or five years, depending on how it goes. And it's going to continue to go on there. I don't think it helped with Disney. They have been pulling back and they want to try and get away from it. And it's better for business if they do. It's always that kind of thing of people put a lot of pressure on their businesses to speak out. They did. And then they got whacked. And so it's going to make them much less likely to want to put their head above and get a whack-a-bo. So it's going to be very tricky for businesses to try and balance that line because they have put their heads above, you know, when there was an issue. And, you know, that cost them a lot of money. And it's not just Disney. We're talking, most of them have done that. Did you do? Oh, thank you very much, Derek, for your super chat. Let's bring that one up. When do you think MGM+ will merge with Brian? As we all know, it can take a long time until the Hulu drama is over. I think they will get there eventually. I think Amazon is trying to work out how to make all this stuff profitable. I do think like I never quite understood why MGM+ was a thing and why they didn't just go all in on Amazon Prime. I think they're looking at it. They're trying to make money out of Amazon Prime video. And maybe the MGM folks were like, we still want this to be separate. We still wanted to do it. I think they will eventually do it. But I think it might be another two, three years away. I think Amazon needs to kind of do some consolidation, get some of its apps together, get free V and get MGM+ and all these kind of things. Put them together and kind of consolidate between themselves. But yeah, so that's what I think is going to happen. Yeah, and I think the Hulu drama, I'm not sure if it's going to get resolved this year. I hope it is, but I think it's going to take a while. But again, a huge thank you, Derek, for your super chat. That is fantastic. Thank you so much for that support. Knox Rose says, "I heard the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man release on November 2nd." So this came from a trademark on the, I think the US trademark or infringement or something like that. So trouble is, and if I am just going to check my calendar, but I believe why I think this is incorrect, yes, it is a Saturday. It's Saturday the 2nd of November. Disney doesn't release shows on Saturdays. I think the recent one was the zombie series. So they do, but releasing on a Saturday doesn't make a lot of sense. And also, Disney hasn't officially announced that date. It came from a resource and things could be very, very different. So take that with a pinch of soap. It is supposed to arrive this year, but if they've got that and I sort of a con run or anything like that, I could see them bumping one of them back a little bit. Depends on the app on the marketing as well. Maybe they've got loads of toys ready for the Christmas period, so they need to get it out in November. That'll be a good time to get it out there. But yes, that date is not confirmed. You say you enjoy Universal Studios. I enjoy it more than Disneyland. I did go for a stage where I preferred Universal Studios to go into Disney, especially more so when I was in my 20s and then like late teens. I liked more of the big fast attractions, the roller coasters, and also the franchises appealed to me more at the time. But going back as an adult, an older adult, I now don't want to do the big rides, and I wanted the ambiance, and the franchises mean different things to me now. But I do like having that mix. And so that's why Universal is always a lot of fun. I can't wait to go see Epic Universe, but I was watching some videos every day, and I was a bit like the thing is the Harry and your dragons land, and I'm not really into that franchise at all. I think I've seen the first movie and that's it. So I was like, okay, I'm not really into that. Like the monsters are like, okay, I grew up with, you know, werewolf from Frankenstein. And so I am fine with that, but it's similar with it. And I'm like, another Harry Potter land. I'm like, really? I'm gonna have three Harry Potter lands at Universal Orlando. That's a lot for one franchise. That's a hell of a lot. And I was just like, I don't really want another Harry Potter land. It's like, there's nothing else you could have done, but it's a little bit like, um, and obviously as well, over in California, last time I was in California, I didn't get to go to Universal. I didn't have enough time, but I have been to the one out in LA twice. And I love the fact as well that they actually film stuff there, and you can go around the studio and you can see stuff. I love that aspect to it. But yeah, again, I think a lot of it depends with Universal, like, how old you are and what type of rides you like. Because I think Universal are much better at faster rides. Bobatronic says, what do you think, what do you think when Skydance will do with Paramount Plus? I don't think Paramount Plus will make a year if Skydance get, I think even as Skydance don't get it. Paramount Plus is going to be merged in with Max or Comp PCOC, one of the two, or they're just going to close it down and start licensing. And Paramount is not big enough to support the amount of streaming services that are out there, but also we will only pay for so many streaming services. And they're all starting to realize that they either have to be one of the big boys. And I think Netflix, Disney and Amazon are going to be the three big boys. They're going to be the ones that you're going to probably more likely going to keep. And Comcast are sort of fighting to get it. It's going to happen because it's not big enough. It's just not big enough. They can't scale enough globally and they can't spend enough money to create the content that they need. So I think it will eventually go. Kellard said, "Now that we're happy for the year, what are your thoughts on Disney Plus in 2024 so far? What are your predictions for the second half of the year?" I'm not going to lie and say, "I do feel a little bit like, is it going to get going yet?" The launch of Hulu on Disney Plus was great. And it was really exciting when it happened and stuff. But Disney hasn't really revved up the promotion. Disney doesn't mention Disney Plus in any of its press releases. Or in any of the trailers or anything like that. It's still very much like, "We can't mention that together." Maybe that's because of the Comcast situation. I think it probably is. But, you know, like, maybe things would pick up in the fall when they start kind of like going to a new season to promote stuff. But again, internationally, that made much of a difference. A lot of the releases haven't been arriving at the same time. So it's a little bit difficult to get excited about some of the stuff. Yeah, it just feels a little bit flat. I mean, we've had Echo and we've had Accolite and Percy Jackson. That's kind of been it for our originals. This is not enough. I mean, we've had some great shows dropping from the other side, you know, like the bear and you haven't, you know, all these kind of great shows. But the Disney Plus side has been really, really thin, really thin. And it is like, you know, yeah, you've got the Accolite right now. And, but I mean, we went from what, like Echo right through to Accolite without any major, I mean, yeah, Percy Jackson. I mean, that's a few documentaries and stuff. But that lovely like Wednesday morning feeling of firing up and having a new episode. Not really had that very often. No, I had that very often. As far as predictions, I think it's going to be a very safe year. I think the password stuff is probably going to start kicking in around September. That's going to, I think in the full things are going to start picking up with when we start getting like dancing with the stars and you start getting like new Grey's Anatomy and station also 911. And you get some of the new shows like the doctor, the cruise one on the cruise. And I think they're going to be able to push them a little bit more. So yeah, so I think that's going to be how that works. But also, what are your predictions? What do you think is going to be on Disney Plus for the second half of the year? I think a few more ESPN stuff as well. Daniel says, "Why does it seem like Disney cannot attract big name actors to its non-marble Star Wars films?" You see, all the other films to do is getting big stars, but I feel Disney lacks that. And I don't know what you mean by that because Disney, if you take into account search like in 20th century, I think they, that's where all the big actors want to do stuff. They want to do their independent films. And that's where Disney are making those type of movies. Disney brand doesn't tend to release a lot of movies. So that's why there's not a lot of major stars in them. But yeah, I think it's more the 20th century studio side. And also, there's just been a lot less. But also, big expensive costs cost more money. So you can get a lot cheaper stuff in, and they can save a lot of money. And I think that's also a big element of what's going going on. They've got much smaller budgets. And I think that's been making a big difference. But I do think they are getting all the stars in. But I don't think Disney putting that in those kind of movies. And it says, "Do you think that Disney will put more legacy content on Disney Plus?" And he said, "This would likely happen if people seem to request it to add it more." People are constantly requesting the legacy content that's not on there, the movies are not on there, the shows and stuff. It's been like it for like five years. And sometimes you're like, "Why hasn't Disney done this? Why are they wasting money on creating all these shows when they've got this massive back catalog that they're not using? You know, they could use it, they could do all kinds of stuff with it. But there's also this part of me that kind of wants to, you know, when people ask for some random animated series from the 90s or something like that. And it's like, you kind of sit there and kind of think, and you kind of want to say, like, from a business point of view, what is adding this show back onto the platform, spending money sorting out the music licenses, restoring it to HD and all the rest of it. How much viewership is this going to bring in? How many more subscribers is it going to make? How much, is it going to help with charm? The answer to that probably is nothing. It's probably not going to make any difference. They, they're not going to be releasing a load of merchandise to go alongside it, because there's a reason why these brands and characters and stuff aren't being used. There's just no, it's just all costs and no financial benefit. All the big stuff that people love is on there. All the big, most of the big, I do think they need to go back in. And I, I especially feel like, you know, they're not utilizing the 20th Century Fox content, all that, all those classic movies from the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, they're not utilizing it. There's loads of, there's thousands of movies that they, they, they don't use very well, but is, again, it's just that simple truth is that stuff. I, I think they think that the audience isn't there for it. Now, Keenan, you just said there. I think that's the reason why Disney Plus lost subscribers for a while, because they prefer legacy content than Disney Plus Originals. And I, I will say the exact opposite thing. The legacy, the legacy content that people are watching are things like Toy Story and Cars and Moana. They're not interested in, you know, like The Muppet Show and things like this. And yeah, the originals is what brings people in. The new content is what keeps people coming in. The kids wanting to watch new stuff. Young kids that are watching these shows on repeat are not going to go back and watch a show from the 90s and the 80s and the 70s. They're going to want to watch what the kids, that the kids are watching now, that look the way that they want, you know, also they kind of used to like 3D animation. They're going to want all the toys and all the stuff that goes along a bit. And what their friends are watching, they're going to be watching on Blue E and all the rest of it. Kids are not interested in watching 20, 30 year old animation. I don't know, there's a lot of people that go, oh, I would watch it. Like, realistically, how many people, if they can't get enough people to be watching something like Marvel's What If or Marvel or X-Men or even The Bad Batch, which a brand new, how much do you think people are going to watch, you know, a 1990s animated series or a 2020, you know, an early Nauties movie. The series, there's a reason this stuff isn't on there because, ultimately, while you might like watching that legacy content, and I know there's a lot of audience that would love it. And I, and I agree with the fact that it should be on there. And I think they should be adding more of it. And I think they should be doing it. But I can see the financial business reasons for it along the lines of, it's not there. It's just, you know, the audience isn't interested in this stuff. You know, they're watching, they're watching the good stuff. You know, all the TV shows and movies that were kind of canceled and, you know, and forgotten, there's a reason a lot of the stuff isn't on there. It's because they don't think they can make any money for that. You know, you go into a Disney store or into the Disney parks. Disney parks are a prime example. And they might have the odd pin or the odd plush somewhere in the, or the odd t-shirt for the odd movie. That's a little bit less well known. But you go into the theme parks and you try, you know, some of the shows that people are requesting that they want to add on, those like, they don't even make merchandise for this stuff. There's a reason for that is because it's not popular. It's not as popular as you think it is. I think that's definitely an issue with that. Um, no, so he says, did you get your tickets for Deadpool and Wolverine? Yes, I have brought my ticket for the first showing on in the morning. You're like nine and ten o'clock morning slot. I want to get in and see that one. Kerri said, I watched my name is Canon Disney past last weekend. I was reminded how good it was and it was a nice rewatch. It wouldn't hurt for Hulu selection to add some of the library Hindi movies. I'm just very surprised they didn't bring in the hot star hub and all that content, which makes me believe they are trying to sell all of that off. I think it makes sense for the, you know, you think about like how much Korean originals are on there. Like there's nothing really like that from India on there. It's, it is, but also like they didn't release any of that stuff internationally as well. Very strange of how that's all worked. Kinis is my prediction for the second half. The year would be Lilo and Stitch releasing on Disney Plus and D23 Expo having a live stream. Yeah, I could see that. Uh, Bubba Trump says, do you think the JV streaming service between Warner Brothers are the joint one between Discovery Paramount and Comcast as possible? Um, I think there's a kind of a growing trend of the idea that this idea that they're all going to come together again, you know, and put together a streaming service and go back to, they're basically just like remake Hulu. But the thing is, I think they're all now looking again at, well, we can just, we can sell to Netflix or Amazon or Disney at a higher rate and not have any of the hassles of it. Um, Knox says, I think the reason why Disney Plus Originals got removed last year was because they didn't, they didn't have much and Disney wanted to save their money and didn't waste their content that people aren't interested in watching. And I believe that is a key thing. People weren't watching it. And while, you know, in our little bubble here, we kind of, you know, we talk about all these originals and we, you know, but a lot of people didn't watch it. And the viewing numbers showed that they didn't watch it. And they, they cleared, I, I'm not entirely convinced what they did. I don't think it was the right thing long term. I think it did some, it did some damage to the brand and got rid of the originals. But it wiped out a load of that, but also it kind of streamlines Disney Plus a little bit and it like trimmed out a lot of faff and rubbish that wasn't there. Okay, so I believe the reason why Hotstar content isn't yet because it's very messy and organized and many studios have had multiple files as the same show, but with different audio dubs. I think that might be another thing as well. I've like, they want to make sure they've got, I don't know, it just seems very strange that they didn't do anything with Hotstar with the Hulu and Disney Plus side of things. And I, and I think that they are just going to, they'll license it. I don't know, it's very weird. It's just a very, very weird situation. Got more questions on them. Well, finished for the day. If you've got any more live questions, feel free to keep putting them in. Any super chats or anything like that. Dan Basel says, do you think that Moana 2 and the Lion King prequel can also do very well at the box office? Moana 2, I think would do very well. I'm not convinced it would do a billion. I, I think it's going to, I think it'll be good if it could hit 800. A billion would be amazing, but I'm not expecting it. I think the idea that it might, it was like a, a Disney Plus show turned into a movie might put people off. But if it's really good, it'll get where the amount from people will go. Lion King, I'm not sure on this one. I think this could be, I, I don't know, because the first, the last one was like one of the most, there's the biggest animated film of all time. And it was a huge success. But I don't think people are going to have that nostalgia view for, with FAFSA. And people are going to be like, why do I need to see this? I'm just not sure about, about it. I'm not interested in seeing it. I was like, what, what, what is it? It's like a prequel, but a sequel. It just doesn't like say anything to me. Connor says, what are your thoughts on the pictures I sent you? So this is weird seeing other studios content within Disney Plus. Yeah, so Connor sent me some images of Disney Plus now in Latin America, which has a lot of licensed content from like Paramount, etc. I think because I've been using Hulon Disney Plus, I've become a little bit more used to it. And also here in the UK, we get a lot of library content that was from like studios that aren't Disney like British stuff. But yeah, it is a bit weird seeing it. I think we're going to see more of it. I think Disney's going to get more into the licensing game. I could see them doing that in the future, where they become one of the buyers like Netflix, Disney and Amazon are going to be the studios that Warner Brothers and Paramount and stuff will go to to be like, do you want our show? You're going to pay for us. I think that's going to be with it. Right, let's jump into the last few questions of the life thing. If you've got any lives once before we finish, I just realized we've gone a little bit later today. Knox races, I think the right thing was to make my one or two a theatrical release. Oh, I think 100%. This is going to make so much money. It can make a lot more money than a Disney Plus series. King says, I agree with Bazzo is if inside out to and Lion King were a success, I think the free calls will be successful. Just because it's a franchise doesn't automatically mean that it's going to be a hit. I think that's the big thing. Right, on that note, last call for any question for a finish for the day.
