Disney shares are up Thursday on news that the company is cutting costs and letting go of 7,000 employees. But the real news is that the formerly family-friend studio lost 2.4 million streaming subscribers — and has no plan to end the woke programming that drove them away.
My friend and colleague Lincoln Brown has all the details for you about the layoffs, involving about 3% of the company’s workers.
Do you know who isn’t getting the boot? Disney+ producer Latoya Raveneau, who admits to pushing a “gay agenda” by “adding queerness” to children’s programming wherever she can.
Or Jim Morris, who heads up Disney’s Pixar division. Pixar has been slowly losing steam since Disney purchased the computer animation studio from Steve Jobs in 2006, and its last three films — Luca, Turning Red, and Lightyear — have all been massive flops. Lightyear might have been the worst of the lot. It took a beloved Toy Story bad-ass astronaut whose catchphrase was “To infinity and beyond!” and turned him into an all-too-typical clueless white male clod who couldn’t even successfully leave a single planet.
Or Kathleen Kennedy. She runs the Lucasfilm division, purchased from George Lucas in 2012 for $4 billion. Since then, she’s run the Star Wars franchise into the ground with a combination of bad scripts and “the Force is female” wokeness.
Worse is the damage done and yet to be done to beloved characters like Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, who became unrecognizable, unlikeable, and unheroic in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, respectively.

That sums up the goal of the woke movement.
IOW, it’s a Laura Croft: Tomb Raider wannabe...........................
Disney is cutting 3 billion from Disney plus.
Their biggest streaming hit is Bluey, something they didn’t originate. It’s from Australia.
Not Star Wars or Marvel, which tells me quite a lot.
Laying off 7,000 workers and making the Star Wars hotel shut down dates due to lack of interest is a downward spiral.
The parks are making money, but the condition of them are deteriorating. They will be heavily impacted by Universal’s expansion. Many long term Disney vacation planners have turned on the parks, proclaiming them not worth the money. They are opening Tron ride soon, but have no major attractions planned.
Then there is the chaos with the board of directors.
Quantamania s premiering to mixed reviews even from the Disney stans.
They aren’t broke, but the wound is gushing.
Hollywood has traditionally produced a certain amount of leftist propaganda at a loss. They don't care. They're happy to subsidize some leftist propaganda, so long as their bottom line is in the black.
They now make most of their profits overseas.
Now, it seems they are very much worse.
If you happen to be gay chances are you are going to promote everything as gay (kinda like hanging out at a gay bar).
Another “girl power” movie from Kathleen Kennedy who wrecked the Star Wars film franchise.
Disney issues 'courtesy' warning amid increase of fights at parks
