As the company takes a $1.5 billion write-down from shedding more than 70 projects on Disney+ and Hulu, creatives bemoan lack of transparency: 'It's a whole climate of devaluing.'

“It’s part of this overall mindset of the value of art and creativity that like, ‘Wow, you spent all this time on this, then you at least deserve a phone call,'” Skinner, who has been picketing with fellow Writers Guild members, tells. “You at least deserve to understand a little bit what’s happening with your work. But it’s a whole climate of devaluing.”
During a May 10 earnings call, Disney CFO Christine McCarthy announced that it would be “removing certain content from streaming platforms.” The company, which has been undergoing rolling layoffs, disclosed in a securities filing on June 2 that it would take a $1.5 billion write-down from the axed programming. More content is expected to disappear in the third quarter.
“I would certainly just be curious to know more about what influenced the decision,” says filmmaker Ashley Avis, whose 2020 Disney+ feature,, which adapted the classic novel and featured the voice of Kate Winslet, was among the exodus. “It’s tough as an artist to try to know where to navigate.”
