Think about it, when dvd came out just about all the movies industries, companies decided to drop making pies for vcr on VHS.

That medium died out and never really had the chance to evolve because of this. There was even an (or a few) HD VHS tapes that most wouldn't believe were made on VHS.

Another more recent example of this problem is, now allot of media companies are chasing after ai. Are there any major companies that make movies/shows/cartoons/anime that are not in some compacity?

We need companies that take different paths, and, not do exactly as everyone else is doing. That's what's wrong with the movie and film industry today. They're appear to me to be, afraid, and cowards, to think out of the box. There afraid, and scared to stand out, and be interesting. To wreck other companies. Scared, and afraid to compete. Cowardly. these companies seem to be.

edit: why are we still on blueray, why isn't their a newer physical media format for movies? Some might say that physical media is dead, I would say that it seems like no one (company) wants to step out of line and make a newer format to replace blueray.

Nothing replaces Blu-Ray because it's more than good enough. A single disc can store up to 100GB.

Until videos are too large to fit on a Blu-ray.

While Blueray can do Hd, and maybe even 4k pretty well. Higher video qualities like 8k or 16k might require better hardware. also the fact that blueray still uses disc tech and their not using some kind of mini drive or sd card like drive for movies is also an issue. It shows they hadn't innovated the formats since basically when blueray came out, (besides some adjustments to the technology as it went on. Also DVDs are slower at loading, why are we still using them instead of something more modern and more energy efficient for the environment?

Sure you do have streaming and cable, but when you think of the film industry, you typically think theatres, DVDs collections. blueray, and really just hasn't been anything exciting different, or interesting from the industry. everythings just feels the same across the board. What happened to the film industry, and innovation?

There's no money in it, it won't happen. Not in consumer space anyway.
