It’s time to stop viewing Disney as a family-friendly company
American Thinker ^ | 03/22/2022 | Andrea Widburg

I was raised on Disney fare and I let my children (now grown) watch Disney material. In the years after WWII and before wokeism struck, Disney produced movies and TV shows that fit squarely within traditional, family-friendly values. The material may not have been elevating or deep, but it was fun without being offensive. That Disney is long gone. The latest sign of Disney’s surrender to the hard left occurred when Disney’s CEO, Bob Chapek, apologized to radicalized workers for not publicly opposing a Florida bill to ban teachers from Kindergarteners through third-graders about gender and sexual identity.

From the Daily Mail:

Embattled Disney CEO Bob Chapek told employees during a virtual town hall Monday that he regretted not taking a public stance against Florida‘s controversial ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.

Chapek, who is already facing leadership problems amid a rift with his predecessor, Bob Iger, and discontent from employees who remain loyal to Iger thanks to his glittering tenure at the helm of the entertainment giant, said that Disney made a mistake by not publicly decrying the bill. 

‘I and the leadership team are determined to use this moment as a catalyst for more meaningful and lasting change,’ Chapek, 61, said during a rushed virtual town hall meeting.

Chapek also pledged to fiercely oppose Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s attempt to investigate parents of children undergoing gender-transitioning procedures for child abuse, The Wall Street Journal reported.

So Disney has just become the standard-bearer for grooming grade-schoolers and encouraging the surgical and chemical mutilation of children.

I believe there may be much truth in that. The same people behind a lot of child traffiking too.

We may be on the verge of learning more about that or maybe we won’t. We will see.

Disney hasn't been "family friendly" for decades. Certainly not in the lifetime of anyone who are still children. Are their really people who are only just now catching on?

The basic message of most Disney movies is that you should do whatever you want because your parents are dumb

What did think was going to happen during “gay days”? Since they didn’t stop it, it looks like they are okay with it.

I’ve got two favorite Disney movies that I own on dvd, as for the rest I don’t need them. The two are Johnny Tremain, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

It’s time to start viewing Disney as the enemy.

I agree. At this point there is no down side to Disney doing this. Their audience either supports it or doesn't care.
BTW most women I meet (casual business acquaintances) support this.

Nearly all of their content is anti-family. Stopped considering Disney as anything but a subversive sect run by sickos in the late 1990s. Nothing they’ve done since then has caused me to re-evaluate that assessment—only solidified it more.

Wake up time... weird satanic stuff has been used by Disney since the 50s. Magic wands, fairy dust.... innocent enough? Now look! Disney has fooled millions. Even their family movies have a little hint or tip of the hat to whatever is not in the best interest of family matters.

It is really strange.

Soft totalitarianism in action. Recommend highly the book “live not by lies” by Rod Dreher.

Disney just saved me some money. “Disney +” is no longer an option for me. It’s good that Walt isn’t around to see what has become of his empire.

Disney did more than not trying to stop “gay days,” they actively promoted it. With advertising.

Tremain is a pretty fair historical movie. I can only imagine it bt screened in a US elementary or middle school today.

Stop grabbing the ankles for homos. They even made a cheerful little diddy about how they “are coming for your children.”

My son is 29, I figured out Disney was a sick perverted company when he was about 6.

We need to start questioning why any parent would take their child to a Disney run location. And to be woke and progressive, they should change the name of Disneyland to Fairyland. Who would complain?
