Disney

The Walt Disney Company — Founded October 16, 1923, in a Pig year on a 5 day — the number of travel and adventure. Fitting for the company that gave us Disneyland, Disney World, and decades of magic. But even dream factories have enemy years. In 2001, a Snake year (enemy to Pig), Disney took a $158M net loss, laid off 4,000 workers, and earnings plummeted from $920M to $120M. Fast forward to 2025 — another Snake year — and history repeats. Snow White is on track to become Disney’s lowest-grossing live-action remake ever, slammed by critics and fans alike. Coincidence? Or the bite of the Snake? Either way, energy is real — and Disney’s feeling it.
