I think this quote from the article is stating that:The linked blog post makes no reference to age.
Often "forced retirements" or early buyouts, or whatever they may be called, are offered to employees even before the company's stated retirement age. There's not much detail in that post, but there are certainly ways for companies to legally induce their more advanced (and higher-paid) employees to accept a retirement offer, or to simply lay them off for financial reasons. I'm sure Disney's lawyers know what they are doing.I think this quote from the article is stating that:
We’re told that the majority of the executives that lost their jobs were considered to be financial bloat, perhaps not retiring as quickly as Disney would have liked.
Those of retirement age would be over age 50, I believe...
At this point I'm resigned to Disney will never understand they are cutting all the little magical moments that set them apart, and win guests/families over for life, and are going to be just another amusement park albeit with a bunch of the most recognized IP.Entertainment is always the easiest thing to cut.

These magical moments though are usually put into place to spread out crowds. If the parks are getting less crowded (as reports say) .. maybe Disney sees there isn't as much need for these magical moments?At this point I'm pretty sure Disney will never understand they are cutting all the little magical moments that set them apart, and win guests over for life, and are going to be just another amusement park albeit with a bunch of the most recognized IP.

I hear some age discrimination going on there, frankly.
In other words - age discrimination
I don't care what other people think. I think that's a really big list of things, assuming it pans out that way. I see some of the documentaries that I have wanted to watch again, like Waking Sleeping Beauty, but don't own. I also noticed the Clone Wars is listed twice: once with 2008 and once under TV. I hope this means they are going to have both the hand-drawn original and the CG. I have seen the CG series but not the first one. I do wish they would put the old People & Places, Walt Disney's Disneyland, Walt Disney Presents, and Wonderful World of Color/Disney shows. I guess they could still add them. Can't wait though!
That’s the Clone Wars movie in 2008, then the show that followed it.I also noticed the Clone Wars is listed twice: once with 2008 and once under TV.
The list is impressive and I feel it will be enough to cancel Netflix. While my son (and us parents) may miss some of the non-Disney content we use Netflix for .. I think we will find enough on here to entertain us for the little time we spend "watching" TV anyway (especially now that summer is over). Plus .. there is always Amazon Prime.
1000000% agree about wanting things like Wonderful World of Color and those types of shows on here
As far as the Clone Wars - could this be just referencing to the past episodes that have already aired plus the new season that they are having?

Haven’t seen anything about the Tartakovsky one from 2003-2005 being on there.
