Disney's recent partnership with OpenAI, which will allow Sora to use over 200 characters—from Mickey Mouse to Yoda—to generate short, user-prompted videos, is being presented by the company as a major step in storytelling innovation.

Why Heavy SDK Integrations Break App Boot Time and How to Control Them?
The cafeteria was still dark that morning, the city outside not yet fully awake. My laptop sat open on a table that still carried marks from someone’s late dinner, and the screen glowed against the quiet room. A recording of an app startup sequence played back in slow motion. The timeline moved frame by frame, and the moment that should have revealed the first screen instead stalled on a blank fade. Nothing dramatic—just stillness. A delay long enough for a user to wonder whether something refused to open. I traced that pause not to user action, not to network delay, and not to device limitations, but to a small chain of SDK initializations that occupied the launch window without asking permission.
