In light of the recent announcement of Netflix merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to consolidate studio and streaming assets, many fans and consumers feel a shift within the entertainment industry. This development has set new precedents for the future of streaming platforms and studios in terms of content availability and management. 

This petition is born from the desire to see Disney step forward in this evolving landscape by acquiring Amazon Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. While the Netflix and Warner Bros. deal includes the integration of pre-1986 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) films into Netflix’s content library, Disney’s acquisition can ensure that post-1986 MGM films, and other significant collections like post-1982 Orion Pictures films and post-1952 United Artists films, receive similar attention and availability. In fact, this initiative will allow these valuable archives to be re-released on physical media by 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment, a division of Disney.

The combination of Disney's formidable expertise in film and media operations with Amazon's innovative streaming platform and the vast library of MGM Studios could transform the landscape for consumers and cinephiles alike. By merging these entities, Disney could continue to create diverse cultural offerings while celebrating cinematic history in a broader format. While Netflix will greatly benefit from its venture, Disney’s potential involvement with Amazon and MGM Studios could promise a unique blend of creativity, heritage, and technological advancement.

This call for a strategic acquisition is not just about corporate interests. It's about restoring the accessibility and enjoyment of a wide range of culturally significant films, ushering in an era where diverse, historical, and contemporary content is brought to global audiences with Disney’s commitment to quality. Such a merger could result in a win-win situation for all parties involved, especially for the millions of viewers who cherish both classic and modern cinema.

Join us in urging Disney to consider this groundbreaking acquisition, one that could redefine the streaming landscape and preserve the rich tapestries of film history. Sign this petition today and help us shape the future of entertainment.
