Latest Disney News: Bob Iger’s anti-strike comments land him in hot water with ‘Breaking Bad’ legend as ‘The Little Mermaid’ digital release opens Pandora’s box

Plus, Disney's $5 million class action lawsuit finally comes to a head.

You didn’t need to be a physic to know that Breaking Bad legend’s opinion.

Speaking of wrong sides (you’ll know what we mean in a second), the digital release of The Little Mermaid has sparked unanimous critique over one key component of Ariel’s modern appearance. Halle Bailey is wonderful, but if Disney had just embraced its inner 90s kid, all would be right in the world.

And because a company as massive as Disney can’t go a day without getting sued, that class-action lawsuit involving the Magic Key annual program at Disneyland has finally reached the next stage in its development. So, without further ado, let’s dive in.

Jenale Nielsen of Santa Clara County filed a $5 million lawsuit against Disney in 2021 after she purchased the Dream Key annual (the highest tier at the time) only to discover that it came with blackout dates in November despite being d as having zero blackout dates. This was shortly after Disney announced its new Magic Key program at Disneyland (formally known as the annual program). The Dream Key annual has since been replaced with the Inspire Key, the resort’s most expensive . Nielsen is accusing Disney of deceiving its guests. The details of the settlement have not been disclosed yet, but it could result in payouts to other Magic Key holders or even a change to the program. However, theme park blog Mice Chat said, “We’re keeping an eye on it, but don’t expect to get rich on your payout.”

The Little Mermaid became available on VOD today, which means those who haven’t seen the movie yet are finally ing Ariel’s world. The VOD release also comes with a plethora of behind-the-scenes footage, including neat concept art that inspired Ariel’s final look. The sneak peek ended up opening Pandora’s box after fans realized Ariel was originally supposed to have a side part and her hair was supposed to be a deeper color red. A bold claim by one diehard Ariel fan even suggested the film would’ve hit a billion dollars at the box office had Ariel simply had deeper red hair and a hard side part. That’s right, what stood between The Little Mermaid and the box office Hall of Fame was simply the wrong hairstylist. What a shame.
