Disney Shareholders Meeting Wrap-Up

Picture
Were you too busy today to catch the Walt Disney Company 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders? Not to worry, below is a compilation of everything that was discussed. Not in as much detail, but enough to give you an idea of everything that was discussed. 

Frozen, Frozen, Frozen, Frozen, Frozen ... and some other movie stuff. But mostly Frozen. 

It's no question that Frozen is a major hit. HUGE, Gargantuan, about to become the #1 grossing animated movie of all time. So of course there was lots of talk by Bob Iger about Frozen. 
Picture
But the biggest news was that there is FINALLY going to be a sequel to The Incredibles as well as another sequel to Cars. 

While the Cars sequel shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody, that movie is a merchandising juggernaut, the long sought after Incredibles Sequel should be met with excitement by everybody. How it took this long is anybody's guess.

There was also some talk about Star Wars Episode VII which will reportedly take place approximately 30 years after Star Wars Episode VI (Return of the Jedi). 
Picture
Lastly, they released a third trailer for Maleficent which continues to look great. 

Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for Sunken Treasure

Picture
One of the only Parks announcements was a new Pirates of the Caribbean ride for Shanghai Disneyland. This is the first of the Pirates rides that is going to be based on the film franchise vs the versions that have had characters from the movies added to existing attractions. 
Picture
During the Q&A there was an odd question segment by one person, but one nugget that did come out of that is that there will be "some" Mulan presence in the Shanghai park. 

Not much more news than that at this time.

D23 in Anaheim August 14-16, 2015

Not really a whole lot to add to the above title, D23 is coming back in 2015. I'm sure more details will be surfacing in the next year.

Q&A

There were, as always, questions from those in attendance. These are mostly Disney fans asking questions, so they certainly ran the gamut. A list of some of the questions asked: 

  • Pin Traders not having room inside Disneyland to trade pins: Iger mentioned not wanting the Pin Traders to interfere with normal park guests. 
  • Lily Belle Exclusivity:  Iger incorrectly stated that anybody could go to City Hall and get a pass to ride even though the Lily Belle is now reserved for Club 33 Members and other VIP's. How long until an AP shows up at City Hall and tells them "Iger said I could ride"? 
  • Disney Cruise Line: No new ships, but there will be new itineraries. 
  • Disneyland Submarine: For the last time ... THE RIDE ISN'T LEAVING!!! (My words, but that was the gist of Iger's answer)
  • Somebody announced themselves as a "PREMIER Passholder" so we'd really listen to his question. I forgot what it was about. 
  • GAC Passes: No plans to revisit current system that is actually working
  • A question about Characters in the park and hand drawn animation: Iger once again plugs Frozen and says there are no plans to make any further 2D Animated Feature Films. 
  • Question asking about holding Stockholder Meeting at Walt Disney Family Museum: No plans right now. 
  • Disney Dollars: No plans to discontinue Disney Dollars.  
  • Lastly, one of the questions started off with the person telling Bob Iger that he was his "favorite character" and wondered if he'd melt in Acetone. It was kind of creepy and I wonder if Iger even got the reference.
