  "summary": "The Walt Disney Company is preparing for a new round of layoffs that could impact thousands of employees. According to Deadline, these cuts will occur across multiple divisions, including the motion picture studio and TV networks.\n\nThe Japan Times reports that Disney is asking some managers to target 20% in annual cost savings through job eliminations and expense reductions. These cuts may affect various operations, including theme parks, the movie studio, and TV networks, though the impact will be disproportionate across different units. CEO Josh D’Amaro intends to reinvest some of these savings into technology, theme parks, cruise ships, and film and TV programming.\n\nDisney has previously eliminated thousands of positions and cut billions of dollars in costs, impacting units such as ESPN, Pixar, and ABC. A company representative declined to comment on the matter.",
