Big entertainment players face pressure to make streaming profitable and satisfy diverse audiences. 100 People Transforming Business is an annual list highlighting people across industries who are changing the way the world does business.

The streamer didn't market its kids content enough and didn't pay attention to what children like, insiders said. Netflix hasn't been alone in dialing back on kids animation. "They had these grand plans to make a ton of animation and were going to throw a lot of money at it," said a former Netflix animation exec. But they didn't understand kids and they didn't understand animation," said a separate high-level animation programming executive.

Katzenberg, a co-founder of DreamWorks and former chairman of Walt Disney Studios, founded another high-profile media venture, Quibi, in 2018.
