What he said: “I believe our mission for this year is clear: set the stage for our second century, and ensure Disney’s next 100 years are as successful as our first,” he said.

  • “Right now, their behavior tells us and our industry that the way they want to experience entertainment is changing — and changing fast thanks to technology and the pandemic,” Chapek wrote. “We must evolve with our audience, not work against them. And so we will put them at the center of every decision we make.”
