However I predict that his release will be obvious message to everybody that "2024 is going to be hell of a year", just like the previous years that have 29th february in it.
I am already mentally preparing for all the uncontrollable panic attacks I will be having throughout 2024. In the United States, such years are always when we should pick whatever senile old man will be least likely to destroy our entire way of life if they were President--The U.S. Presidential Election. At least 2023 gave us mountains of great, extremely-long games to distract us from the polls until November, and possibly some other nasty, impossible-to-ignore surprise that makes the COVID lockdowns and the first Trump presidency seem manageable in comparison...
Lol, you could also make parody campaign posters of Mickey Mouse running for president, as a double-spoof of both how awful the candidates are and how Disney would probably try to buy out our government in a few years.
Thankfully, the way Disney is going these days, I'm not entirely sure they have the money anymore to even convince Congress to extend copyrights a few more years, as evidenced by them finally losing the exclusive rights to Steamboat Willie.
Also, I'm not a "both-sideser" who thinks sitting out on the Election makes me cool and smart while letting such life-changing stuff be decided solely by the craziest people in America. I at least have a clear idea which candidate I can safely ignore the existence of for another 4 years--although on the other hand, one candidate's food diet is so stereotypically "'Murican" that he probably won't be around for much longer, anyway.
At least Disney and Hollywood in general does not have nearly as much sway as they had even 8 years ago, and for that reason alone, we can sleep easier at night knowing not even my fellow Southern Californians will eat up everything Disney demands that we consume, just because we live in the general vicinity of the "original" Disneyland. I can tell you that Wish and The Marvels would have at least broken even at the box office if the "SoCal Disney cult" were still real.
