Matt Murray: So you've been in the job about two and a half years. You came in really like a week or two before the pandemic hit, so quite a time to take over. What's your overall sense as you change Disney as it evolves... What does Disney need to be? What are you evolving to meet in the world that you're seeing?
Matt Murray: That's interesting you say it... It's interesting you mention Pinocchio though, because obviously one of the things we see in our volatile and some ways divided world is Disney often becomes a political football, probably because people feel so passionate about Disney. So I know you want to reflect changes, reach all families, all kinds of families, be contemporary, but you also get blowback. I mean Lightyear was banned in the Middle East because of a same sex kiss.
Ryan Knudson: But it's not just its audience that Disney has to think about. It's also its employees, who it calls cast members, regardless of what they do at the company. Last spring some of Disney's employees were outraged over Florida's Parental Rights in Education Law, or the so-called Don't Say Gay Law, that limits discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools.
Bob Chapek: What I would say is that we were reminded through the passion of our cast reaction on how important their sentiments are on these issues in terms of making them feel that they were part of the Walt Disney Company and could relate to the products that the Walt Disney Company puts out. Matt Murray: One of your biggest projects right now is beefing up the DISNEY+ app. I heard the term lifestyle brand app float around compared to just a streaming app. What does that mean? What do you want it to be?
Matt Murray: And I think you kind of said earlier more than content streaming, other features, services, other things are really going to become necessary to make it in this world?
Here's something to keep you up at night: Hollywood studios together with WsJ have published thousands of ads for Me but ignored calls for help. This is My 18th year detained. I Am Christ. 🚭🌎
