We’re really going to miss B.O.B.

BURBANK, CA — A short paragraph hidden away in the Walt Disney Company Q3 2020 Earnings Report reveals that the company sold off the rights to unpopular characters to raise money to keep the company from folding. The list of characters is quite large, but notable characters are the 6th and 8th mop from Fantasia’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice segment [Ed.: The performance by mop number 8 was abysmal], B.O.B. from The Black Hole, Condorman, Osh Popham from Summer Magic, and Abigail Disney.

The report did not list how much cash each individual character brought in, but our anonymous inside source (Hi, Joe!) tells us that they were able to buy coffee AND donuts for a single morning meeting.
