As the board proxy fight between The Walt Disney Company and Nelson Peltz’s Trian Partners comes down to the wire, Disney and CEO Bob Iger have locked up the support of another high-profile Disney shareholder.
Laurene Powell Jobs said in a statement Thursday that she is urging shareholders to vote in support of Disney’s board nominees.
“My family and I have been significant investors in The Walt Disney Company for nearly two decades, and in that time, we have seen the company transformed thanks to the steady and visionary leadership of Bob Iger and Disney’s expert Board of Directors,” Powell Jobs wrote. “What has always set Disney apart is the way it combines unbridled creativity with technological innovation to tell timeless stories—stories that inspire and enrich the world around us.

Spellbound and John Lasseter – Pictures: Skydance Animation and GettyImages
Skydance Animation, which ex-Pixar head John Lasseter currently heads, unceremoniously dropped its seemingly homely, animated feature deal at Apple TV for a partnership with Netflix back in November 2023.
Netflix’s Original animated feature output has long been a discussion point of the industry. It’s an area that Ted Sarandos has addressed numerous times, most recently citing the re-watch value this type of content delivers for subscribers, and his view that Netflix are “underpenetrated” in the genre. This was as the streamer came off arguably its biggest flex of the year, swiping Skydance Animation from its output deal at Apple TV+. Despite restructuring and layoffs that recently impacted the internal Netflix Animation division, animated family movies seem to be a key part of the future strategy.
Netflix already has a partnership with Skydance Media at large, with recent output on the kids side,...

Addams Family Values, The Borgias and the last two Rambo movies are among the high-profile titles set to leave Netflix later this month.
The 1993 Paramount movie sequel Addams Family Values departs the streamer on Jan. 31 as Netflix’s latest take on the Addams Family, the Jenna Ortega-starring hit series Wednesday, was recently renewed for a second season.
Showtime’s historical drama, The Borgias, which ran for three seasons, from 2011-2013, and starred Jeremy Irons as Pope Alexander VI, will also exit Netflix at the end of the month.
Even before these titles vanish, Netflix is losing Peter Bogdanovich’s star-studded screwball romance She’s Funny That Way. The film starring Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Rhys Ifans, Will Forte and Kathryn Hahn, among others, will leave Netflix on Jan. 29.
And Rambo completists will have to do without the two most recent installments in the franchise, Rambo and Rambo: Last Blood,...

Whether you are pro-New Year's resolution or would much rather just see where 2023 takes you in the coming months, January will still bring with it a little bit of change. The first month of the year's list of titles set to make a disappearance from Netflix is relatively short this time around. Still, there are some real gems here — albeit some pretty campy ones — that we have to say our goodbyes to. And while we're probably all busy trying to squeeze in as many holiday-centric movies by the year's end (anyone want to talk about "Falling for Christmas"?), you might also want to try and squeeze in a couple of the things on this list in-between viewings of "Home Alone" and "Die Hard." Whether over-the-top action films or catty reality shows are your preferred guilty pleasure, there's something here for everyone to lament as we make our way into another year.

Ashton Kutcher and his twin brother Michael Kutcher have revealed some of the things that have caused them to have issues in their relationship over the years.
The actor is well known for his role as Michael Kelso on That ’70s Show, in which he starred with his now-wife, Mila Kunis.
He also hosted the prank TV show, Punk’d, as well as starring in films such as Guess Who, Just Married and a Steve Jobs biopic, Jobs.
However, during his rise as an actor in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Ashton had long been dealing with complicated feelings related to his twin brother, Michael.
Michael was born with cerebral palsy, a series of conditions that affect the brain and movement, while Ashton was not.
The brothers feature on a forthcoming episode of the Paramount Plus series The Checkup with Dr Agus, where Ashton admits to having difficulties acknowledging Michael’s health.

Now that Disney CEO Bob Iger has regained the keys to the Magic Kingdom — less than three years after his chosen successor, Bob Chapek, took over — insiders suspect they know how the beloved executive will find a new way to go out on top during his final two-year stint.
“He’s going to sell the company,” one Disney insider who has worked for Iger predicted. “This is the pinnacle deal for the ultimate dealmaker.”
Landing a deal with Apple (or some other megabuyer) would also cement Iger’s legacy. “I think he’d welcome it — he’d be the last CEO of Disney,” a former top Disney executive told TheWrap, noting that the two companies have “similar brand identities” and could benefit from a merger.
Acquisitions are in Iger’s DNA. Under Iger’s leadership, Disney went on a nearly 100 billion shopping spree to buy animation giant Pixar in 2006, superhero...

Jennifer Lawrence is returning to her independent film roots with her upcoming character drama, Causeway. She is currently following it up by filming No Hard Feelings to be released next year. However, the Academy Award-winning actress has recently decided to back out of a role she’s been tapped to play in an upcoming Apple Original.
Deadline recently reported that Lawrence was cast to play Elizabeth Holmes in a film about the entrepreneur from her Don’t Look Up director, Adam McKay, titled Bad Blood which was to have been released through the AppleTV+ streaming service. However, Lawrence now sees no point in depicting her story in this film anymore after watching Amanda Seyfried portray the founder of Theranos in the Hulu Original movie, The Dropout. Lawrence explained that she lost interest in playing the role, “I thought she was terrific. I was like, ‘Yeah, we don’t need to redo that.
