Disney has been making headlines recently due to a variety of reasons. The company faced a significant challenge from activist investor Nelson Peltz, who sought to influence the company's direction through a shareholder campaign. Additionally, Disney has been embroiled in legal battles, including a high-profile case with the governor of Florida over the state's controversial "Don't Say Gay" law. On the entertainment front, Disney announced the release of new movies and trailers, such as "Mufasa" directed by Barry Jenkins, featuring stars like Beyoncé and Blue Ivy.
