According to Disney's financial report in the third quarter, its revenue was11800 million US dollars, down 42% from the same period last year. Due to the impact of the epidemic on the park industry, it lost $3.5 billion. According to relevant sources, the closure of this studio will affect about 450 employees, but the company will also consider placing these 450 employees in other positions. Disney's approach is considered more thoughtful. Not that we will ignore these employees, but that we will properly solve the problems in life and work. This move is still more humane. But I still hope that after the epidemic has passed, everyone's life will be on the right track as soon as possible.
But it is understandable to close this studio in such a big environment. After all, the overall economic situation is not optimistic. Considering the long-term development of the company, closing Blue Sky Studio is also a long-term plan. When the epidemic is over and the economy improves, the company will reconsider opening this studio, which will definitely bring us amazing works again. For those classic works, everyone should be able to say a few at your fingertips, and even some fans have seen all its works. There are many classic works in this studio that we are familiar with, such as Ice Age, Rio Adventure, Forest Warrior, Robot Adventure and so on. These excellent works have won a high box office and are widely loved and concerned by people. Now that this studio is closed, many people feel very sorry. After all, this studio has brought us a lot of memories and fun, and it carries many people's good memories. Originally, I hoped that this studio would bring us better classic works in the future, but I didn't expect to close it, which has to be said to be a great loss for the entertainment circle and also our loss.
