Speaking of the Disney Grooming Institute, the Daily Mail reports that Disney will not be releasing two of its upcoming Disney+ streaming series even though filming has been completed. The article states that "that live-action shows The Spiderwick Chronicles and Nautilus will not be part of the company's content in a move to cut costs."
The former was to be a six-part reboot the popular children's film of the same name - already an adaptation of a book series - and the latter was a prequal to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
There are also rumors floating around that the Disney+ Ahsoka Star Wars series may not be renewed for a second season or may even be cancelled. This is because the series first two episodes only garnered 1.2 million views over the first 6 days of their release. In the past, Disney has reported numbers based on the first four days, so it is believed that it was changed to 6 days just so they could get the numbers up over 1 million. This series is supposed to be based on the Thrawn Trilogy of books but with the main characters all female, including the female Ahsoka character taking the place of Luke Skywalker. The reviews are mostly dismal. I tried watching it but gave up after about 20 minutes. Terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible pacing, and terrible characters.
In any event, Disney, caught off-guard by Bud Light's implosion, is racing ahead to show it can do much worse.
I am enjoying every second of the demise.
