Former Walt Disney Imagineering Senior VP Eddie Sotto has added more fuel to the fire regarding Disney’s decision to bulldoze the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, expanding on why he believes this is a disastrous mistake.
Walt Disney Animation Studios has officially scrapped its long-planned Disney+ Tiana series, marking another major retreat from original streaming content. The decision, first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, comes as Disney moves away from producing long-form animated content exclusively for its streaming platforms. This will unfortunately lead to layoffs at the Vancouver animation studio that worked on this series and produced Moana 2.
