Ancora tagli silenziosi ai contenuti di Disney+: più di 120 titoli sono stati rimossi dalla piattaforma nella regione EMEA, che comprende l’Europa, il Medio Oriente e l’Africa. Le cancellazioni riguardano soprattutto live action storici e vintage, alcuni DC Original Movies e serie Tv.
Tra i film cancellati alcuni importanti classici di Walt come Davy Crockett e i pirati, Babes in Toyland, Robinson nell’isola dei corsari, Un professore fra le nuvole e due True Life Adventures, Perri e I segreti della natura. Da sottolineare anche l’insolita presenza del cortometraggio dei Walt Disney Animation Studios Lorenzo, che era arrivato sulla piattaforma insieme agli altri titoli della raccolta WDAS Short Collection (ed è l’unico ad essere stato rimosso).
Secondo le fonti, la decisione sarebbe dovuta a “una revisione della library” non meglio precisata. L’ultima operazione di questo tipo risale a maggio 2023, quando sono stati eliminati oltre 100 film e serie originali, incluse uscite piuttosto recenti come Willow, Crater o Elena, diventerò presidente. In quel caso, la company ha guadagnato 2 miliardi di dollari in tasse; purtroppo, però, a spese degli spettatori, per i quali molti di quei contenuti sono oggi introvabili.
Resta da vedere dunque se sarà lo stesso per questa nuova ondata di cancellazioni o se si tratterà di un’operazione soltanto temporanea.
