Disney+ Has Turned ‘Encanto’ Into A Franchise, Says Disney CEO

The company reported better-than-expected subscription growth for Disney+ last quarter.

“We’ve been collecting very deep, rich data for a long time from our parks,” says the CEO.

Chapek’s Disney will be about storytelling, innovation, and a “relentless focus on our audience.”

The immersive tech could eventually allow park visitors to interact with Mickey Mouse and Elsa as images, not cast members in costume.

Bob Chapek has given the fullest explanation yet for the decision to move the Pixar film to Disney+.

“The great majority” of their content will move to Disney+, says CEO Bob Chapek.

“The consumer is probably more impatient than they’ve ever been before,” says Chapek.

Disney has subjected the company that bears her name to her harshest criticism yet.

“Covid accelerated the rate at which we made this transition,” said CEO Bob Chapek, “but [it] was going to happen anyway.”

On the upside, the Disney+ streaming service has passed 60 million subscribers in less than nine months.

So says “The New York Times,” which interviewed the recently departed CEO.

The Walt Disney Company is dealing with the coronavirus outbreak on all fronts.
