Concha emphasizes the need for production companies like Disney to reconsider how they handle thier stars&#8217; social media presence, suggesting that controversial statements from actress Rachel Zegler may have alienated potential audiences. He believes halting &#8220;Tangled&#8221; is a wise choice, signaling a need for Disney to reassess its content strategy, especially as the company seems reliant on sequels, prequels, and remakes. Concha questions what new content Disney can produce beyond its established themes.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Disney making the right move pausing Tangled after Snow White bombs: Joe Concha<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2080292\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/walz-is-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving-to-his-opponents-joe-concha-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Walz is the \u2018gift that keeps on giving to his opponents\u2019: ... - ...\">senior writer&#038;nbsp<\/a>;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/joe-concha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe Concha<\/a>&nbsp;said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/disney\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Disney<\/a> made the &ldquo;right move&rdquo; in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/european-companies-pause-production-as-energy-prices-soar\/\" title=\"European Companies Pause ...
