Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
The Indian Disney app sucks.
Why does a trillion dollar company need a streaming platform that doesn’t make profit?
Disney is in shambles right now, what can they possibly offer the 2nd most valuable company on the planet?
greedy Disney and Apple reminds me how evil dictators also lean to each other…like Xi Jinping and Putin
Opposite
There is very little direct connection between The Walt Disney Company and Apple. Walt Disney C.E.O. Robert Iger just sat on Apple's Board of Directors for a few years.
Iger has a personal affinity for Apple, and he did a few deals when Steve Jobs was alive in order to repair some of the damage from former Walt Disney C.E.O. Michael Eisner.
Entertainment companies operate best when they are platform-agnostic. Disney makes things for Meta's Oculus and for Apple's Vision Pro.
No one needs Disney… no. one.
Apple needs to have a reality check! That’s all they need.
My Oculus Go works just fine @ $150…
I’m reading Leslie Iwerks’ The Imagineering Story after I finish John Truby’s Anatomy of Genres.
Video sponsored by Disney 😂
Apple should just buy Disney.
Disneyland should incorporate AR where characters are there interacting with you and not just mascots
Liked this video because they showed mini mouse on the apple watch. So cute! I agree Apple needs disney more and help redesign Siri and give her cute voice and personality. I am also excited about Holo Tiles, its will be an explosive product for VR games industry. Cant wait to buy a Holo Tiles. Exciting. And lastly i just hope Apple brings a cute Disney mini mouse type of Siri in iOS18 AI software thats useful, interactive, funny, entertaining and friendly 😊
Bob Igor is dying to sell Disney to Apple. This video could probably be pushed by Disney 😂😂😂
Nooooo…Apple is as disgustingly woke as Disney.
Apple doesn't need Disney. They already have a magic mouse.
Don’t understand why people would want to sit with one of these headsets on their own for long periods of time but I suppose gamers do this already.
All of you are making the same dumb comment. She never said Apple needs Disney more than Disney needs Apple. She just said Apple needs Disney
Why did John Lasseter leave PIXAR? 😮
I saw it! 🙂
It would be wise for Apple to create Vision Pro experiences based on older disney movies that people love, instead of the new stuff that no one likes
Disney has produced a series of ridiculous flops and streaming has been a big loser especially since it trained people to not go to theatres for Disney stuff when they are already paying for it on streaming. All the creativity we associate with Disney is gone and has been replaced by entrenched DEI types. For the new Disney, message is more important than financial success. They have ignored bad test results for movies and pushed them out apparently for message. Disney has run Star Wars and Marvel into the ground; none of the huge fanbase for either is enthusiastic about Disney making any more movies. There are youtube channels devoted to documenting how the toys for both of these IP's do NOT sell. The parks are nothing compared to Universal's parks. Apple should avoid wasting money on this dumpster fire.
Apple DOES need Disney! Apple needs a way to get people to buy a Vision Pro. They can’t sell it on productivity apps alone. As can be seen by the Vision Pro demo at the Apple Store, the emphasis is on entertainment. Disney provides this. Apple needs Disney to provide 3D content and apps to help sell the Vision Pro.
Interesting points! 👍🏼
Apple should need Nintendo more then ever
Disney needs to be more 100% woke.
i want immersive movie where the weather behind my windows would match the one inside the movie
They should combine apple tv, disney+ and hulu, just saying
I would like to see Apple as far away from Disney as possible if anything but to stop films like Marvel being forced to have everyone holding boring iPhones in every scene or worse "only the heroes would have iPhones". Way too cookie cutter.
For example:
Tony Stark needed to have the original LG Wing 2008, Nick Fury needed to have the HTC One M8. (Along with Sharon Carter). Are we only gonna see the cool phones on the villains like Baron Zemo?
I don't wanna have to be stuck but being able to watch Disney+ on Apple TV on a browser because there's no Android app for it. Then it's useless on my (3D) Smart TV. I only use Google enabled TVs.
Google had tap and pay years before Apple did. If anything? Google should be the Disney partner.
Another Great Video Bridgett!
Leaving a comment to boost engagement algo. A nice step up from the usual episode and please keep these perspective building stories coming.
Man those tiles look amazing
I love this show
Wreck-It Ralph wasn't Pixar
Disney always had relations to positioned appels😂
Apple doesn’t need Disney. Disney needs apple. And id prefer if they kept it that way. Disney sucks. Apple is on fire. No more cooks in the kitchen needed.
I think content is on the way, the device is still only two months old. Do ya'll remember (if you were around back then and able to do so) when the iPhone came out and how much was available to do on it? Not much. Mostly the same as the Vision Pro right now. A bunch of small apps, some cool or neat little things, but most not good at all. It took a few years for good content to come out. Same as video game systems, each time a new generation launches, there's just not much content that is good for the first year or so, until developers can get the hang of working on it. I'd definitely love to see more too, but I'm willing to give it time. If we are still waiting and wondering, say in a year or so, then that would be…unacceptable and a failure on their parts.
Hope Apple and Disney just work together. Merging or Apple buying Disney can close divisions and be too big. Innovation requires flexible, smaller companies with focus.
Can also agree that The Void is the best VR experience I’ve had, nothing compares.
Have to be the person though Wreck it Ralph is not from “the Pixar movies”
Disney is going down the pan and all the talent left long ago. Disney need Apple not the other way around! There's more potential in Dreamworks, Skydance Animation, Sony Animation than at Disney these day. The only VR headset that will possibly get traction is the Sony PSVR2 otherwise the market segment will tank like 3D TVs!
Needs is such a strong word. And no Apple does NOT need Disney. On the other hand, Disney might need Apple 🤣
We just need focuses and we could be like horizon the video game
For $10K, Disney’s Holotiles with the Apple Vision Pro, go anywhere from Disney Theme Park to Apple Campus Tour, or follow Frodo and Sam’s footsteps from the Shire to Mount Doom in Mordor and run with the Navi in Pandora or get LOST on an island with Tom Cruise in Cast Away, right?
Well, Pixar has influenced Apple because of Steve Jobs.
Apple needs content on their streaming service and disney needs to keep putting out Woke trash.
They're perfect for each other.
