Is / Was Dumbo secretly gay?

I don't think this is Burton's way of secretly criticizing their wokeness.
So many horrible bug circuses these days. So little time....
Maybe, but the live action Dumbo still ditched the jive talking black crows...
Don’t let your grandchildren anywhere close to anything Disney.
What, you mean She-Hulk wasn’t a big success?
The headline is so misleading. I didn’t get the idea Burton was leaving because Disney is too woke.
Dumb headline

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.
Disney is crap. They’ve gone full deviant.
“Burton also spoke about his 1989 “Batman” movie and how it set many of the tropes used by today’s Batman movies, particularly the darkness of the film,…”
I think of Burtons Batman whenever I see the NYC skyline. It’s changed violently in my lifetime. It looks like something from that movie.
Burton strikes me as a very good filmmaker but an outfit like Disney can’t really leave him alone to do what he does. He’s liable at any moment to have an idea not authorized by Disney. Very dangerous thing.
Johnny Depp, after he won his case against the bedpooper, also said he would never work with Disney again, who had dumped him from his signature role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series because of Amber Heard’s accusations.
Burton doesn’t get enough credit for Batman because he really set the stage for superhero movies that weren’t Superman.
