I only read it for the articles.

Those spies are up to no good.

We cannot support the spies.

Get out of here, Antonio Prohas.

There was an article that was, what if Walt Disney was awakened from cryosleep?

And it was a multi-page illustrated comic story of Walt Disney being shown around the 90s.

Right, like how things have changed.

Walt Disney by Michael Eisner.

Right.

And it's saying, and here we have Touchstone Pictures.

And he goes, what's Touchstone Pictures?

And he goes, Touchstone Pictures is our label for films with more adult themes that we could never release under Walt Disney Pictures.

Like, for example, Pretty Woman, a movie about like a financial maven who falls in love with a prostitute.

Right, right.

And he goes, oh, and at the end, she's like sent back to her life of struggle.

And he's like, no, he basically like marries her and makes her a princess.

Like the bit that they were sort of found a way to make movies that almost had a Disney arc to them.

Right.
