I don't believe any of those have been Disney, though...

All of them are Disney. 20th Century (Avatar) and Marvel (the rest) are Disney properties.
marvel is disney
Yeah, Marvel is Disney, and the cuts happening this week appear to be company-wide rather than focused on animation.
That said, I tend to agree that both Animation and Pixar are floundering a little bit and it’s a problem. Marvel could be healthier too and certainly Star Wars isn’t doing what Iger wanted. However, I am more inclined to point at Chapek’s reorg as the cause: you’re going to affect creative satisfaction when you remove the ability to control your movie’s creative destiny.
Iger is working to fix this and that’s a good thing.
