I liked

The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh (rebel masked Robin Hood type)

And Johnny Tremain (Sons of Liberty)

Current Disney wouldn’t like these, too MAGA-appealing

I still think it's highly unlikely that Disney will ever actually die.

What makes Peter Hack believe that? Is he going by the misguided too big to fail theory? That theory is bogus to begin with. When people abandon something, it cannot sustain itself, be it a country or a well-established business.

History has proven that many times over. Some here foolishly believe that this nation is too stronger to fail. All nations fail when they become corrupt, and unless you are not paying attention, our nation has become very corrupt.

The more divided we become, the quicker the fall comes. We are at that point.

The adage United we stand, divided we fall is not just some clever saying. It's the reality.

Oh yeah! “Scarecrow” was great.

Am I wrong, or did Disney first do “Zorro?”

“ Good thing I have my copy of Song of the South safely stored.”

Me too. My oh my what a wonderful day!

I used to study how to preserve firearms - sealed tubes, grease, anti-oxidants, all that stuff. NOW, I study how to preserve and bury books - more important for my grandchildren than firearms.

Disney could get back on track but they won’t.

Liberals ALWAYS double, triple, quadruple down on ideology matters, no matter the cost.

About the only thing that would save them would be a shareholders revolt and hostile takeover by someone like Musk......................

There’s a YouTuber who did exactly that though... Stuck the electric guts from a crashed e-bike into a Model A. Had more power than the original Ford flat-4.. but not by much.

However, I get what you’re saying.

The Left isn’t trying to re-create these stories... It’s trying to DESTROY what they originally stood for and the messages therein. Traditional values? Natural gender roles?

Screw that... they have Cultural Marxism to push... Can’t do that with GOOD examples of how traditional Western Culture was far superior to their hateful dreck lying about.

Precisely. None of these agendas care about anything but the ieaalism, the party line. They are ideologues who just don’t care to debate because they believe they know all the facts and everyone who doesn’t know these same facts is stupid. The whole of it runs the gamut from queer to climate, to renewables. The will not see anything but what they want to see. End of story, finished.

These are the useful idiots to the people who lead them that DO care about money and power. Disney has become just another useful idiot.

They probably intend on turning it into Pervert World. The “transition” is a bitch though.

I think they may have already crossed too far over the line, and they certainly do not show any signs that they plan to change their current trajectory.

They honestly believe in what they are pushing. They do not see that they are doing more harm than good. What their movies should have done was to make those suffering from gender dysphoria, was to provide them with hope by telling them they are the gender they were born, and that they need to embrace that, and that they are loved for who they are. That would have provided them with the inclusiveness they seek.

Disney will either have to sell out to someone else for pennies on the dollar, or lose it in bankruptcy. But there would be no guarantee that the new owner would keep the name anyway.

I personally think they have already destroyed the legacy.

Other commenters have already covered most of the points I wanted to bring up - yes, the corporation is populated now by culture warriors who don't mind taking a financial hit in order to advance The Agenda. Many of the senior ones are protected by golden-parachute contracts anyway - why should they care? Their writing staffs are so invested on replacing the Disney version of western culture with their own that only mass firings could cure that. And the well, at least with regard to the animated classics, is dry. The first of Disney's creations was lovingly constructed cel by cel by artists who no longer draw breath. Their successors aren't worthy to shine their shoes.

Where from here? Well, I for one am looking forward darkly to a Woke remake of Davey Crockett, King Of The Wild Frontier. Try to imagine the cringe in that one.

“Why not just create NEW stories, that fit their post-modern, neo-marxist attitudes?”

They do that too, but they’re out to erase any vestiges of morality of the old film.

In the future they don’t want you to even remember the old Snow White.

It’s Soviet style erasure of history.

Many of hubby’s and my original school books, too!

Sounds like you have a great collection.

Are they replacing all the white Snow White’s at theme parks?
