Entertainment in the Pandemic Age

From LinkedIn contact Jay Francis: It looks like Disney is able to look ahead, and Disney Plus is getting the lion's share of the Mouse's resources.

In other words - Covid-19 is not going away. At least not anytime soon.

This is still a gamble for Disney since the Covid-19 lock down has kneecapped their usual moneymakers: theme parks, cruises and movie theater attendance. But on the surface, this shift makes sense.

Pixar - Exorcist mashup: The Pixarcist

Okay, I had to goof off, and blow off a little steam, especially after seeing that "Pixar Fest" is coming to Disneyland. Surprised no one else has thought of this!

With apologies to director William Friedkin,
and writer William Peter Blatty.

And of course, apologies to Ed Catmull, John Lasseter and Steve Jobs.
And I forgot about Woody doing the head turn thing!
