>Disney HAD franchises that appealed to males. They then made those franchises NOT appeal to males.
It goes deeper than that. Disney bought Marvel and Star Wars specifically BECAUSE their attempts to break through to young male audiences with films like Atlantis and Treasure Planet weren't working. They scooped up two of the most popular franchises for adolescent and teen boys specifically to target that market, and then they decided to shape them into all-inclusive, all-gender, all-ages fare, which not only drove that demographic away over time, but cultivated a generation of guys who hate them and want them bankrupt.
