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.
