Disney's 3Q profit climbs on strength of domestic parks, streaming; strikes deal with WWE
Disney's profit and revenue climbed in its fiscal third quarter as the entertainment company continued to add subscribers to its streaming service and see strength at its domestic theme parks. It also raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast on Wednesday and announced a deal with WWE that will see the sports entertainment company's premium live events, like WrestleMania , streamed by ESPN. The Walt Disney Co. earned $5.26 billion, or $2.92 per share, for the three months ended June 28. A year earlier it earned $2.62 billion, or $1.43 per share. Excluding certain items, earnings were $1.61 per share. This easily beat the $1.46 per share analysts polled by Zacks Investment Research were looking for. Revenue for the Burbank, California, company totaled $23.65 billion, falling slightly short of Wall Street's estimate of $23.68 billion. Disney subsidiary ESPN struck a rights agreement with TKO Group's WWE to become the exclusive U.S. domestic streamer of the sports entertainment company's premium live events starting next year. Aside from gaining access to WrestleMania, ESPN will also air marquee events such as the Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and Survivor Series. The wrestling events will be available on ESPN's new streaming service, which is set to launch next month, with select ESPN cable channels also airing them. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but The Wall Street Journal said that it's a five-year deal worth more than $1.6 billion. 'Sports is the big headline coming out of Disney's latest earnings report, and for good reason. Live sports programming (like WWE Premium Live Events) amasses captive audiences that advertisers crave, and Disney is prioritizing programming with the highest ad revenue potential," Mike Proulx, Forrester vice president, research director, said in an emailed statement. Last night the NFL announced that it had entered into a nonbinding agreement with ESPN. Under the terms, ESPN will acquire NFL Network, NFL Fantasy and the rights to distribute the RedZone channel to cable and satellite operators and the league will get a 10% equity stake in ESPN. Revenue for Disney Entertainment, which includes the company's movie studios and streaming service, edged up 1%, while revenue for the Experiences division, its parks, increased 8%. Disney's direct-to-consumer business, which includes Disney+ and Hulu, posted quarterly operating income of $346 million compared with a loss of $19 million a year ago. Revenue climbed 6%. The Disney+ streaming service had no change in paid subscribers domestically, which includes the U.S. and Canada. There was a 2% rise internationally, which excludes Disney+ HotStar. Total paid subscribers for Disney+ came to 128 million subscribers, up from 126 million in the second quarter. Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions totaled 183 million, up 2.6 million from the second quarter. In the fourth quarter, Disney anticipates that total Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions will increase more than 10 million compared with the third quarter, with most of the increase coming from Hulu due to the expanded Charter deal, CEO Bob Iger and Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston said in prepared remarks. The company expects a modest increase in the number of Disney+ subscribers in the fourth quarter. Iger and Johnston also said that Disney will stop reporting the number of paid subscribers for Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ streaming services because the metric has become less meaningful for evaluating the performance of its businesses. The company will stop reporting the metric for Disney+ and Hulu beginning with fiscal 2026's first quarter and will no longer report the figure for ESPN+ starting with fiscal 2025's fourth quarter. The Experiences division, which includes Disney's six global theme parks, its cruise line, merchandise and video game licensing, reported operating income increased 13% to $2.52 billion. Operating income climbed 22% at domestic parks. Operating income declined 3% for international parks and Experiences. Disney announced in May that it will build a seventh theme park in Abu Dhabi. 'We have more expansions underway around the world in our parks and experiences than at any other time in our history,' Iger said in a statement. "With ambitious plans ahead for all our businesses, we're not done building, and we are excited for Disney's future.' For fiscal 2025, Disney now anticipates adjusted earnings of $5.85 per share. It previously predicted $5.75 per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect full-year earnings of $5.80 per share. While Disney continues to pull levers to successfully manage all of the different components of its business, it's also working on its search for a successor to Iger, the face of Disney for most of the past two decades. Disney created a succession planning committee in 2023, but the search began in earnest last year when the company enlisted Morgan Stanley Executive Chairman James Gorman to lead the effort. Disney does have some time, as Iger agreed to a contract extension that keeps him at the company through the end of 2026. Disney is looking at internal and external candidates. The internal candidates are widely believed to include the chairman of Disney-owned ESPN, Jimmy Pitaro, Chairperson of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Josh D'Amaro, Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Alan Bergman and Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman Dana Walden. Shares of Disney declined more than 3% in morning trading. Michelle Chapman, The Associated Press

Bluey Season 4: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on August 13, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated August 13, 2025, 11:32 IST Bluey has truly captured hearts worldwide with its playful fun, touching family moments, and that lovable Heeler charm we all adore. After the emotional rollercoaster of Season 3, fans can't wait to hear what's next for Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli. So, here's the scoop on everything we know (and what we're hoping for) about Season 4, shared with all the love this show deserves. When Will Bluey Season 4 Release? While there's no official release date just yet, the buzz points to sometime in mid to late 2025. Some fans are crossing their fingers for a spring debut, but if we look at past seasons, things usually take about a year after production wraps to arrive. Season 2 came out in March 2020, and Season 3 wrapped up in April 2024. The team's taking their time to recharge, so late 2025 or early 2026 feels like a safe bet. Meanwhile, there's plenty to enjoy! The creators have been dropping short Bluey minisodes—little 1-to-3 minute bursts of joy—to keep the magic alive. We got a few in July and October 2024, with more expected before the year ends on ABC iview and Disney+. Who's in the Cast for Bluey Season 4? The voices behind Bluey are part of its magic, and we can expect the usual crew to return. David McCormack will almost certainly be back as the fun-loving Bandit, and Melanie Zanetti will bring her warm charm to Chilli again. Bluey and Bingo's voices come from kids on the production team (kept secret to keep that genuine feel), so they'll be leading the way too. Familiar faces like Uncle Stripe, Aunt Trixie, Aunt Frisky, and Uncle Rad will probably pop in, and there's talk of some new characters—maybe Chilli's parents or a new neighborhood pup. And with Bluey's global fame growing, who knows? We might even get a surprise celebrity cameo! What Will Bluey Season 4 Be About? Details are still under wraps, but creators have dropped some hints that have fans excited. Season 3 ended on a heartfelt note with 'The Sign,' where the family almost moved because of Bandit's job, but then decided to stay put. Then there was 'Surprise,' showing a grown-up Bluey visiting with her own kid, sparking all kinds of theories about time jumps. Creator Joe Brumm mentioned in an interview that Bluey and Bingo might be growing up to the 'babysitting age,' which could mean new little characters to play with. Expect more everyday adventures filled with the imaginative play, parenting laughs, and emotional moments that make Bluey so special. Fans on social media are buzzing about possible stories involving Bluey's grandparents or her friends Mackenzie and Jean-Luc—so it looks like plenty of heart and humor is on the way.

I Genuinely Can't Watch "Aladdin" The Same Way After Learning These Facts
"That's right! He can be taught!" I spent some time looking for some diamonds in the rough, otherwise known as "fun facts," for one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid, Aladdin. There was just as much magic behind the scenes as there was from rubbing that lamp. Here are 19 Aladdin facts that will make your life feel like a whole new world: Co-director Ron Clements has gone on record saying the character of the "Genie" was created with no one else in mind other than the legendary Robin Williams. He admitted, "We wrote the script for Robin Williams from the beginning." It'd be hard to picture anyone else in the role (looks at Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar). Lyricist Howard Ashman died before the release of Aladdin, but he completed two of the movies' most memorable songs before passing: "Arabian Nights," "Prince Ali," and "Friend Like Me." Chairman of Walt Disney Studios Jeffrey Katzenberg claims Tom Cruise inspired Aladdin's look. He suggested they base Aladdin's look and persona on Cruise in Top Gun. Before settling on Cruise, the original inspiration for the character of Aladdin was modeled after Michael J. Fox. The Teen Wolf and Back to the Future star definitely gives off Aladdin vibes, so although the look isn't there, you can still see the character type. Co-director John Musker expressed the time-consuming nature of the animation process. "An artist could spend a week just trying to get a few seconds of a performance," Musker said. Every second was worth it. In case you didn't know, Robin Williams is fantastic at impressions. Animators took Williams' recordings and narrowed down his performance to about 60 different characters. From Rodney Dangerfield to Robert De Niro, there were plenty to choose from that made the final cut. In an attempt to sell toys, Jasmine's dress was almost pink. Ironically, pink was used in both the live-action version and in the third installment, Aladdin and the King of Thieves. You may have seen an elephant fly, but have you seen a bird with teeth? Iago shows off some pearly whites in Aladdin, and there is a hilarious reason behind it. "Iago is the only bird I've ever had to draw that has a full set of teeth, because his voice is Gilbert Gottfried and you can't have Gilbert for a voice without great big teeth in the mouth," said Will Finn, the character's animation supervisor. Jafar's big shoulders on his outfit are not an accident. It was by design to allow his feathery partner in crime Iago to do more. "We created almost a little stage set for the character with the broad shoulder pads that Jafar has so the parrot can pace up and down," said Andreas Deja, the character's animation supervisor. Method Scott Weinger. When in the booth, Weinger admitted he found himself "taking off his watch and his shirt" to better get into character. Imagine if he had a little vest and fez, too. Is it even an animated film if legendary voice actor Frank Weller isn't present? He left his mark in Aladdin, too. He voiced Abu, Rajah, and the Cave of Wonders. Robin Williams would receive phone calls from director Steven Spielberg. Spielberg was working on the Holocaust film Schindler's List at the same time as Williams was recording for Aladdin. He would put Williams on speaker phone so he could share some of his jokes with the cast and crew of Schindler's List to cheer them up. If you thought the captain of the Agrabah Guard, Razoul, sounded an awful lot like Tigger that's because legendary voice actor Jim Cummings provided the voice. He voiced a variety of Disney characters, including Pooh, Tigger, Pete, and many, many more. Jafar came REALLY close to touching the cosmos for real during the casting of his voice. Sir Patrick Stewart almost played Jafar. The infamous Starfleet Captain and tremendous actor was one of the first picks for the role, but he turned it down. There were about 16 additional hours of unused improvisation by Robin Williams. "I'd blame parents, 'cept he hasn't got 'em." Well, that's almost a lie. Aladdin's mother was going to be a character in the movie. In the end, an extra subplot like that might have bloated the story too much, right? No. No. I'm not saying I didn't want to see Aladdin's mom, but... Speaking of Aladdin's mom. One song cut from the film was the Alan Menken-written song "Proud of Your Boy." It was going to be a song about Aladdin hoping his mom would be proud of him after his "One Jump" sequence. "Street Rat" ultimately made more sense with the mom absent. The song "A Whole New World" was actually the first time Brad Kane (singing voice for Aladdin) and Lea Solanga (singing voice for Jasmine) became acquainted. "We're standing there singing to each other," Kane said. "It was weird. It was a strange situation, because when you just meet someone you know nothing about them." Safe to say, their chemistry worked in one of Disney's most classic songs. We almost got two genies: a Genie of the Lamp and a Genie of the Ring. In an original draft, instead of Jafar using Aladdin's lamp, he was going to get a "Genie of the Ring," which would have been how he granted his wishes. Obviously, what we got was WAY better and made more plot sense for every character involved. #LampFTW What is your favorite thing about Aladdin? Comment below! Watch Aladdin on Disney+.
