A new episode of How Happy Happens has been released: Spend the day with Bob, a silhouette artist in Disneyland, as he reveals the magic behind his craft and shares his passion for creating portraits that capture the joy and wonder of the happiest place on earth.

Didn't watch the first episode but I enjoyed this.

Here's the next episode of How Happy Happens: On this episode of How Happy Happens, Raevon Steps into the Wild World of Disney’s Animal Kingdom with Robyn, Our Animal Science Extraordinaire, and learns what it’s like to care for the incredible White Rhinos of the East Savanah on the Kilimanjaro Safari attraction.

Interesting. I thought the YT money was a bit more than that, but apparently I was wrong. Yeah, this would then be nothing more than marketing.

Allegedly. It’s the toughest case she’s yet to face, but don’t worry guys. I’ve heard she’s determined to succeed

Is Glinda head of Disney's PR now too?

They aren't going to make enough money to move any needles with youtube. Making $1000 off a 2 million views isn't squat to them. This is marketing... not profit.

They can directly monetize these on YT, whereas putting in on D+ is not going to move any needles.

It’s in reference to “we create happiness…” which is WDPR’s mission statement

“because happy is what happens, when all your dreams come true…” 🎵

I don't know. Dateline Disney were really successful, and were only like 8 minutes a bump. Disney Channel also had Imagineer That, which were very short. So it seems exactly like that. Disney Channel only ever gave entire show blocks to the parks and resorts with Inside Out. And was only a half hour each. So I am not sure where you got the comparison from? Also, Disney Plus does not require any time limits or constraints. I think it is telling this lower budget stuff goes on Youtube.

It would have been a hour-long 20+ episode series IMO. And probably lost to time like most early DC programing.

Marketing and Social Media Outreach is a strange inhuman beast.

I get it’s just a YouTube series and nothing significant, but I’m still amazed at how bad Disney’s naming game has become lol.
