Looks like bob iger learnt his lesson and now he retired?

[strateguy632]

Bob iger was admin of disney when it remade mermaid and snow white. The stars replaced the white characters who were excluded. Like those M&M ads. No men. When they made moana live action they did not swap out the non white star. Only whites get excluded.

I said make a new story with a latina or black don't exclude the white from a white character.

But the live action moana actually made many adjustments and improvements while preserving the story. Looks like they went back to creativity and making a good story for telling? Did iger and disney learn their lesson?

[AI Opinion]

Bob Iger didn’t retire, he actually returned as Disney CEO in late 2022 after Chapek was fired 😅

What you’re noticing is more a mix of strategy and PR than a “lesson fully learned.” Disney tests the waters: classics like The Little Mermaid or Snow White get diverse re‑casting, while Moana already centers Pacific Islander culture, so swapping her would cause huge backlash and kill authenticity.

Studios juggle representation, nostalgia, and box office. When something gets too controversial or hurts the brand, they quietly pivot, like with Moana’s more faithful live‑action approach. Not pure creativity, more calibrated risk management 🎬✨

To little too late. He really did preside over some real stinkeroos.
