For a company that markets itself to kids , going Pedo is the kiss of death. Either Disney makes a major change or it will shrink even faster than CNN. You don't want to make Mama bears angry.

The Walt Disney Co. reportedly labelled beloved animated characters including Tinker Bell and Captain Hook from the 1953 movie Peter Pan as “potentially problematic” as it was preparing to launch the Disney+ streaming service, noting the characters could necessitate a disclaimer for perpetuating negative stereotypes.
Ursula from the 1989 movie The Little Mermaid also raised concerns of racism and homophobia.
Disney began an extensive review of its film library as it prepared to introduce the streaming service in 2019, according to a New York Times report. As part of the initiative, called Stories Matter, Disney added disclaimers to classic movies for containing “negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures.”
The Stories Matter team privately flagged certain characters as potentially problematic, with the findings distributed to senior Disney leaders, two current Disney executive told the Times.
One of them was Tinker Bell, who raised concern because she is “body conscious” and jealous of Peter Pan’s attention, according to the executives. Captain Hook was another potential liability because he could expose Disney to accusations of discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities because he is a villain.
Disney also flagged Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, saying her dark complexion could be construed as racist and her flamboyant mannerisms could come across as “queer coded,” or homophobic.

Out goes Captain Hook. In comes Captain ADA.
We live in Clown World. 🤡
I don’t think current Disney management can recreate Walt’s magic kingdom any better than the Sorcerer’s Apprentice could recreate the Sorcerer’s magic.
Better toss out snow white and the dwarves.
That’s pretty suggestive! Not to mention it’s not melanin affirming and dwarves is extremely offensive to uhhh... “little people”. Soon they’ll be running uhhh... ‘short’ of characters.
If anybody has kids or grandkids who they want to show original Disney movies to (most of us who saw them turned out ok) I suggest you get DVDs before they’re “updated.”
Instead of a hook, he can have a dildo.

Thank God these classics were created before these idiots came around. These guys are coasting on a long established brand and couldn’t build up anything appealing from scratch.
Disney is truly a sick company, catering to a vocal extremists 1% of Americans, and regular folks should do everything in their power to avoid paying Disney for any of their products ...

plus they weren’t very diverse
Disney is pushing for full on homosexual porn.
Apparently the forbidden to talk about eighth dwarf, Sleazy, is out of prison and back with his buddies again.
Our adult kid has already gathered up all of our Disney books, DVDs, videos, lithographs and other memorabilia from our past trips to Disneyland to save for their kids in the future. This also includes some non-Disney books, movies, and videos from their adolescent years that may be on some future hit-list.
Dwarf tossing? That’s not kosher either. 🥴
I guess male fairies object to Tinker Bell, unless they decide to go trans-fairygender.
Hey now. Family show.
I have a DVD of “Song of the South”. Disney has refused to release this movie on home video. The need to be politically correct overrides every other consideration.
It may be that stuff like this is what bankrupts Disney, rather than just the conservative boycott.
