For Real Disney: Stop Milking Pointless Sequels

This is a two-panel meme that uses the popular Shrek 'Can You Do This For Five Minutes' meme template. In the top panel, Shrek says the line 'Can you stop milking out pointless sequels', calling out Disney. In the bottom panel, Shrek turns to look through a hole in a tent, where the Disney logo, the logo for *Frozen III*, and the logo for the new *Ice Age* sequel 'Boiling Point' are visible, with the bottom text reading 'For Five Minutes?'. The joke criticizes Disney (and major media studios in general) for constantly releasing unnecessary sequels to popular existing franchises solely to profit from established brand recognition, rather than creating new original content. There is extra irony here, as Shrek is owned by DreamWorks Animation, a competing studio to Disney.
