Disney is facing a sequel challenge, as highlighted at this year's D23 event with its 2025 movie slate. Many upcoming films are sequels, including Toy Story 5, Moana 2, Incredibles 3, Frozen 3, and Zootopia 2. This trend raises questions about Disney's creative direction, reminiscent of classics like The Lion King and Aladdin. The decline is linked to former CEO Bob Chapek's leadership.
