Disney+, Mulan, & Embracing Change
The Walt Disney Company announced its decision to release their new live action film Mulan on its new Disney + premium service. Both Disney+ and Mulan represent two ends of a spectrum where one initiates change and where one is dictated by change. We look at the decision behind both the streaming service and the choice to release the film as a premium pay option. While both are examples of outside forces impacting its business, it’s not Disney’s only foray into change over the last century. We look into the legacy to keep moving forward amid change, the key milestones in that heritage, and what lessons can be learned as you respond to change in your own world.
