Musings on Mouse Ricky Strauss' departure was a longtime coming Share In the midst of America quite literally under siege by an extremist mob hellbent on destroying the country’s democratic core — the very thing they’ve belligerently, dangerously, and wrongly accused elected lawmakers of tarnishing for more than four years, all stemming from listening to a tyrant use and abuse any platform available to him — there was a little bit of Disney news. (I’ll be honest with you: it’s hard to concentrate on anything other than the political chaos taking place, so this week’s Musings on Mouse may not be as fruitful as months past. Still, I want to write a little bit about Disney+ and the most recent executive departure that many people in the industry have theorized or known about for some time. )
