Main D+ subscribers are likely parents that use D+ to babysit their kids. In theory, D+ will continue to do well as long as they focus on family audiences.

There’s some info actually backing this up.

Quote

Aluma Insights finds two-thirds of US Netflix buyers view the service as indispensable to meeting household video needs. Hulu and Disney+ were the only other top-16 services in which more than half of subscribers considered the service essential instead of just nice to have. Conversely, Epix Now, Apple TV+, and Peacock were found to be the least essential services.

If you watch the video they post with the Gauge update they frequently breakout Hulu Live (was 9.1% of total Hulu for January, around the 3:20 minute mark of the video, YouTube TV was 14.9% in contrast)

4th biggest service after only less than 3 years of operation (and limited library in the US). Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video have all been around for about 15 years each now. 
 

The bigger concern is HBO Max. Most of their customers are from the Pay-TV subs that could potentially date back from 50 years. The previous 2 HBO streamers date back 13 years (for HBO GO), and 8 years (for HBO Now).

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who actually used HBO Go and HBO Now. It's very funny that you're worried because people who pay for HBO are still watching... HBO.

This is already in post and so vFX team have couple of years to get it ready. I am sure they will do the theatrical scenes 1st and the rest after that. This wont hit D+ probably before April 2025.

Saw it in reddit and it was removed for low quality source. However it shouldn't be really surprising since their oldest IP are going to Disney + (Bambi next?) and the Renaissance movies are coming to an end with Hercules and The Hunchback (Pocahontas is too controversial). This one feels like the right next step unless the Lilo and Stitch remake goes theatrical (unlikely at this point but Stitch merch sells).

Why not Frozen live action. That is a better bet than P&F live action.

They probably want to wait until they are finished with the IP in animated form to transition to live action, so with Frozen III coming that one is likely a while away. 

 

Princess and the Frog also has the Tiana series coming up though so I find it unlikely they would want a live action film soon but maybe it is just in very early development.

I think they should stope announcing or developing these remakes at least until the box office and audience reactions for the little mermaid ! trailer wasn't that impressive and that movie is literally sitting in the middles of this stupid culture war + competition from fast x, spider verse, transformers !

Frozen would of course make way more money but that's getting a sequel probably by either 2025 or 2026. P&F, Tangled and Moana only have tv shows. Moana is too early for the moment since it's not even 10 years but considering that Hercules will release over 4 years since the announcement and The Huchback got annouce on 2019, this probably wouldn't came out untill 2028 which is already 19 years after the original assuming the rumor is true but again the source is not highly reliable.
