not a big surprise. the industry has known about this for some time. Disney has been in years of settling out. announce the news at days end trading etc. my heart goes out to all those affected. many of us have been there before with Disney's cycle of layoffs. for many it could be the beginning of an even better chapter in their lives. it hasn't even been a year since the acquisition but I'm sure they are working hard to save the ship, all they need is some good films to come out.
