Iger believes the push toward streaming theatrical titles undermined the licensing and retail businesses.

“Home video, at one point as we called it, was extremely lucrative for our company,” Iger said. “We’re looking at all of that [again].”

The CEO believes content can co-exist on traditional distribution platforms and streaming without damaging either due to differing platform audiences.

“It’s already clear to us that the content exclusivity that we felt would be so valuable in growing subscribers was not as valuable as we thought,” Iger said. “While eventually everything will migrate to streaming. We’re not there yet.”


Release! More! Stuff! On! DVD!

I can't tell you how many times my internetless aunt has seen a TV spot and come to tell me about how excited she is to take the grandkids to see it... only to find out it's a D+ exclusive.

Fuck the "Disney+ Exclusive" mindset. Let the streamers have it a month early, IDGAF. But release your shit in theaters, or at least on DVD, because there's still a laaarge audience who either can't stream, or doesn't want to.

(And while you're at it, how 'bout a re-release of some of your old live-action stuff? A bitch ain't about to pay $100 for a used DVD on eBay.)
