The shift seeks to create “cohesion across the entire Disney ecosystem and extending the relevance of our franchises for generations,” according to the joint memo. “This evolution reflects how these businesses operate today and strengthens that model by more directly linking our consumer products businesses with the creative and business teams behind the content.”
