I think Disney's whole business model is built around insuring that never happens, both by hiring the best people and by buying any company that demonstrates a threat to their hegemony.

It looks like they took a bath on Mulan; $66.8 million box on a $200 million budget.

But the integration may work out for them in the long run if people who signed up for Disney+ keep their accounts.
