The Walt Disney Company (DIS): 'Stability Is Working,' Says Jm Cramer
We recently published . The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world. Its shares are up by 11% year-to-date primarily on the back of 34% in gains made since early May. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)'s shares soared after the firm's second-quarter earnings delivered the holy grail of metrics, streaming subscribers. The numbers saw the firm report 126 million subscribers which was higher than the 123.35 million that Wall Street had penciled in. In his previous remarks about The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), Cramer discussed how the firm is caught up in the generational divide between stock market investors. Here are his recent thoughts: 'Why doesn't Hugh Johnson get any credit [for improving performance], the CFO. Well look, the theme park's now [inaudible]. What's really interesting is they're now starting to talk about the cruise ships in 26′. I would have waited until 27′. But I do think that Disney had a great quarter, I think that Hugh Johnson plays a big role and James Gorman is going to play a big role. A packed theater of moviegoers watching a blockbuster film produced by the entertainment company. As for the generational divide, here's what Cramer said: 'We pivoted to interviewing Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, who traced out his plans now that the company owns all of Hulu. The stock was around $115 when Iger started talking, and by the end of the interview, at least partly by the day, it was at $118 and change. That's a tour de force performance, the kind of value added this network proudly provides. I felt great about it, but I could feel the contempt that many younger investors have for what I think is a very strong kind of journalism where we flesh out what really matters to an iconic big capitalization stock that has everything to do with linear television, ESPN, exciting movies, cruise ships, theme parks… Who doesn't want to know about that? Well, how about the people who just stopped going to Disney World with their parents, and it's the last place they would ever be caught dead at?' While we acknowledge the potential of DIS as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

People are only just learning what the ‘Disney Hug Rule' is
If there's anything that can heal your inner child, it's watching compilations online of kids hugging their favorite characters at Disneyland. They really get you every time, but if you look closely, you might notice a familiar pattern – the Disney character will keep hugging the child until they break off the hug. While it's not an officially mandated rule (although many others exist … more on that later), it's an informal guideline that many Disney theme park staff have embraced, so it's now become a standard practice. 5 A child hugs 'Anna' during a recent trip to Disneyland. The embrace lasted for over a minute and a half. @mccallcook/TikTok The adorable guideline helps ensure that the child feels their beloved character isn't pulling away. According to the Disney fan site Inside the Magic, the practice dates back to Walt Disney himself, who apparently said, 'You never know how much that child may need that hug.' TikTok features countless videos of this rule in action, including one heartwarming clip from @flickdash, showing a montage of kids hugging the characters for as long as they wish, and the characters patiently hold on until they let go. 5 A girl hugs Mickey Mouse at a Holiday Spectacular in Los Angeles, California on Dec. 18, 2021.

AFP/Getty Images In another clip by @mccallcook, liked by 3.3 million people, a girl called Hazel is seen running up to Anna from Frozen and refusing to 'Let It Go' for more than two minutes. The character is seen chatting with Hazel and asking her questions endlessly until her parents finally manage to guide her away. 'I THINK SHE BROKE THE RECORD WHAT DO YOU THINK?' Hazel's mum wrote in the caption. 'I think Hazie would've sat there all day long if there wasn't a line behind us.' In the comments, people were getting teary over the adorable moment. 'This is so pure and innocent,' said one. 'I'm sorry, but how do you not break down crying every time this happens?' another asked. However, some wondered whether the parents should've stepped in to break the hug sooner and let another child have their turn. 'As a parent, I would have stopped it earlier,' said one. 'The parents should know that the hug went on for way too long as they put the Disney worker in an awkward position,' added someone else. Other official rules at the parks include that characters must never eat in public, tattoos need covering, staff must be able to sign autographs as their character, and no staff member can say 'I don't know' in response to a question. 5 Tigger embraces a dog during a day at the theme park. @flickdash/TikTok 5 A little girl hugs Mickey Mouse at Disney. @flickdash/TikTok Also, if a staff member wears glasses and their character doesn't, they'll need to wear contact lenses to keep it authentic. For guests, no one over 14 is allowed to wear costumes so they aren't mistaken for real characters, and guests staying at the Disney Hotel aren't permitted to hang wet towels, swimmers, or clothes off their balconies.
