There are only a few days left to watch them. From May 26, dozens of films and series from the streaming platforms Disney + and Hulu, which belong to the Disney group, will be removed, reveals the American site Deadline. Willow, Big Shot, Diary of a Future President, The Mysterious Benedict Circle and On the Other Side are among the contents that should be removed. There would be a little less than 60 according to the list established by the site.
Disney made this decision in order to save money. "We are in the process of reviewing the content of our on-demand services to align with strategic changes in our approach to content curation," Disney Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy said May 10 at the company's latest quarterly results.
A group in decline
Disney has indeed faced significant difficulties in recent months. The last three of 2022, the Disney+ streaming platform lost subscribers for the first time in its history. As a result, the group's chief executive, Bob Iger, announced the dismissal of 7,000 people.
The decision to remove content was particularly poorly received for the film professionals impacted. "They gave us six months. No more. This business has become completely cruel, "reacted on Twitter John Bickerstaff, writer of the fantasy series Willow.
They gave us six months. Not even. This business has become absolutely cruel. https://t.co/8Kczi6HCvW

On the other hand, other titles like A Spark Story, Marvel's M.O.D.O.K or The Voices of Wakanda Forever should stay.
