It was evident that Bob Iger’s previous remarks about the SAG-AFTRA strike would create a stir in the entertainment industry. However, the Disney CEO has now found himself at odds with a revered figure from the world of Breaking Bad.
Speaking of disagreements, the digital release of The Little Mermaid has sparked widespread criticism due to one particular aspect of Ariel’s modern appearance. While Halle Bailey is exceptional in the role, Disney could have embraced a more nostalgic approach to appease fans of the 90s.
Additionally, as a company as immense as Disney, it is no surprise that they have faced yet another lawsuit. The ongoing class-action lawsuit concerning Disneyland’s Magic Key annual pass program has now progressed to the next stage. Let’s delve into the details.
Disney Resolves $5 Million Class Action Lawsuit Involving Magic Key Annual Pass Program
In 2021, Jenale Nielsen from Santa Clara County filed a $5 million lawsuit against Disney after realizing that the Dream Key annual pass, which was marketed as having no blackout dates, actually had restrictions in November. This legal action followed Disney’s introduction of the Magic Key program at Disneyland, formerly known as the annual pass program. Nielsen alleges that Disney deceived its customers. The terms of the settlement have not been disclosed yet, but it could lead to compensation for other Magic Key holders or changes to the program. However, theme park blog Mice Chat suggests that the payouts may not be substantial.

The much-anticipated digital release of The Little Mermaid has allowed new audiences to experience Ariel’s world. The release also includes behind-the-scenes footage, showcasing initial concept art that influenced Ariel’s final design. However, this sneak peek led to an eruption of criticism when fans discovered that Ariel was intended to have a different hairstyle and hair color. Some dedicated Ariel enthusiasts even claim that the film could have earned a billion dollars at the box office if these changes had been made. It seems that the wrong choice of hairstylist stood between The Little Mermaid and becoming a box office sensation.
