Disney-ABC TV Group Braces for Large-Scale Layoffs Amid Cost-Cutting Initiative (from Variety)

Disney-ABC Television Group will be reducing annual costs at the unit by 10% by the close of its parent company’s fiscal year next month, with a restructuring of operations that is expected to include hundreds of layoffs.

Plans for cost-cutting measures across the group, which includes the ABC television network, ABC News, ABC Studios, and entertainment cable channels including Freeform and Disney Channel, are still being developed. Disney-ABC sources tell Variety that no headcount for staff reductions has formally been determined and that details of the cost-cutting effort are fluid. But it’s clear that the effort will involve major staff cuts in order to reach the 10% cost reduction target.

Regarding the Hocus Pocus merch, I'd be surprised if the artwork style had anything to do with it. There's a card game called Gloom that (IMO) has very similar art and there has never been an issue to my knowledge.

This is closer to the work of Edward Gorey. The Ghastlies are designed to be inspired by Gorey's work but not directly copy his style or characters.
Disney's Hocus Pocus artwork is just a rip off of some of the Ghastlies characters.
There's being inspired/influenced by something and then there's just copying.
