I don't think this is Burton's way of secretly criticizing their wokeness.
So many horrible bug circuses these days. So little time....
agreed
I didn’t notice any direct critism of ‘Disney’s wokeness’ either. It looks like Burton was saying Disney is stuck using the same basic formulas to create drama and tension that he begn using many years ago. Now it all seems to homogenized.

Maybe, but the live action Dumbo still ditched the jive talking black crows...
Haven’t been there since 2017-—we used to go twice a year every year. Also, we had the Disney bank card, shopped online at Disney, etc——like I said, we haven’t given them a penny since that time and won’t go back unless they change and apologize and pay reparations!
Don’t let your grandchildren anywhere close to anything Disney.
What, you mean She-Hulk wasn’t a big success?
What I noticed was that much of the charm had been replaced by concrete in order to manage longer lines, e.g. no more funny gravestones to look at while waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion.
The only good thing was that they started serving beer, so I was able to take the edge off a bit of waiting in long lines... which was replaced by my anger at how expensive the beer was!
The headline is so misleading. I didn’t get the idea Burton was leaving because Disney is too woke.
Dumb headline
Wait...they took out the funny gravestones at the haunted house? Seriously!! That was one of the things I looked forward to-—”Here lies Fred, a big old rock on his head”.
Is / Was Dumbo secretly gay?

A congress of woke MBAs (monkey reference) can do that to a business.
I didn't know he was part of the Disney studio system. Glad he left them!
"Big Fish" was so bizarre and funny."
His filmography says he was an animator on Tron back in 1982, before his directorial debut in Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
He "acted" in "Men in Black 3" as the alien on TV Monitors. Kind of like the Alfred Hitchcock cameos in all of his movies.
My all time favorite is the "Pull the String" music video with the spooky theremin from "Ed Wood," starting Lisa Marie as "Vampira." Good gosh, she is such an amazing dancer and SO sexy in that video (she was a professional dancer and studied ballet for eight years). She was also the Martian Girl in "Mars Attacks."
I’m glad woke Disney is getting punished, but as with pro sports, I don’t really care what happens to the industry.
There are profoundly important institutions on the verge of ruination by the Left - Freedom of Speech, Truth in Education, Equal Justice under the Law, Fair Elections, Border Security - to name just a few.
The fate of the Entertainment industries should be the least of our concerns.
In fact, the most destructive trend in the entertainment industries today is not their perverse influence on society, which is alarming, but rather the wholly undue importance placed on them in the first place.
By placing so much importance on sports and entertainment, we have stupidly appointed hundreds of empty-headed clowns as opinion leaders, and role models for our children.
We literally have confused, thrice divorced (or more) sexually perverted movie actors regularly giving relationship advice on talk shows. We literally have drug-addicts giving fitness tips. We literally have bi-polar narcissists giving mental health advice. We literally have people lecturing us about self-acceptance who have had so much plastic surgery that they are unrecognizable.
And when these celebrities speak, people applaud. It’s nuts.
I live 2 hours from dw........I wouldn’t go there if it was a week free pass, hotel room and limo to and from.........NOPE.
