The staff reductions began Monday and are falling on employees in marketing, publicity, casting and development, along with corporate financial operations.

Disney is set to lay off several hundred employees across its film and television divisions as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative aimed at streamlining operations and boosting profitability.
