Disney has nothing to lose here, and Apple can take a failure, too.
Apple has produced plenty of devices that didn't pan out.
Let's not get too hyped away.

Have they? They've launched particular versions of existing products that didn't sell too well, but have they ever launched a device which was was fundamentally new and didn't eventually sell a ton of units?
I know you're going to want me to post the Apple Newton to disagree with, but I'm not that easy to catch!

To be fair, that might as well be ancient history. I imagine more than 99% of Apple’s value comes from post-iPod activity, and I can’t think of anything post–OS X that failed, let alone post iPod.
The Newton would be the quintessential example.
HomePod
Pippin
Apple III
Apple Lisa
iPod HiFi
I was just thinking of the last few decades but yeah fair enough I had forgotten about the HomePod.
