Disney Revamping Kids Cartoon with Gay Dads and Teen Activist

Disney is revamping its 20-year-old animated series “The Proud Family” and the reboot will center on two multiethnic, gay dads and their adopted teenage daughter, who is a racial activist.

The entertainment brand announced the show, “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” via social media Wednesday.

The fathers, Barry and Randall Leibowitz-Jenkins, will be voiced by Billy Porter and Zachary Quinto — both of whom are gay — while the daughter, Maya, will be voiced by Keke Palmer.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the other cast members of the original series, which aired from 2001 to 2005, will return to voice the seminal characters Penny Proud, Oscar Proud, Trudy Proud, Uncle Bobby Proud, and Suga Mama.

Series character Michael Collins, the best friend of Penny Proud, will return in his effeminate style, this time as “a non-conforming trendsetter.”

The show is expected to debut on Disney+ sometime in 2022.

This is not the first time Disney has pushed LGBT issues in content catered to its younger viewers.

Last August, the Burbank-based behemoth confirmed the lead character of its cartoon series “The Owl House,” a 14-year-old Dominican-American girl named Luz Noceda, would be openly bisexual.

Showrunner Dana Terrace said at the time she had long intended to feature “queer kids” in the cast of the animated show. While Disney initially opposed the idea, Terrace said her “stubbornness paid off” as her ideas are now “very supported by current Disney leadership.”

Additionally, Disney’s 2020 Pixar film “Onward” featured the company’s first self-identified LGBT character in an animated movie. The character, Officer Cyclops, has one line in the movie, in which she refers to her “girlfriend.” It was also recently reported Pixar is casting for an unnamed project that will feature a teenage transgender character named Jess.

California-based Pastor John MacArthur seemingly condemned Disney during a sermon earlier this month. He rebuked the brand for creating “characters that are transgender to seduce children into accepting wickedness as normal.”

“Children are under a relentless assault by all the forces of evil, and they are defenseless,” he said. “And we have a society and a culture that wants to make sure that those who are pumping out this destruction are free t keep doing it without restraint.”

The company founded by Walt Disney and his brother is evil.

Walt must be spinning in his grave.

Grab it while you can.

Right click, “save video as” and be sure to add .mp4 to the file name.

Exactly. Screw the outrage. Defund them. Without money they fold like a cheap lawn chair. Cancel all your Marvel, StarWar, Fox, ESPN, ABC everything. Just boycott them at every level. Noe resorts, cruises, lands or world. Treat them like a warm flat Coke from a BLM supported Baseball team.

Walt’s head is spinning too, though it’s in a freezer in Glendale.

I always liked the Peanuts character and knew Charles Schultz was a fine Christian....If you go to SoCal go to Knotts Berry Farm instead of Disney, it’s cheaper and more Christian based.

In 2009, there was an animated series called “The Goode Family”. It featured very progressive white parents, and their adopted African child. Much to their chagrin, their African adoptee turned out to be a South African white boy. They still referred to him as their adopted African-American child.

One of the producers was Mike Judge, known for “Beavis and Butt-head” and “King of the Hill” — so, it was a brilliant satire of the ‘progressive’ mindset. Their dog ‘Che’ (naturally) was only fed vegan food — and a running joke throughout the series was the ever-increasing lost-pet posters in the neighbourhood & the fact that Che never seemed to get hungry. Too bad it only lasted one season.

Anyhow, that’s a completely different way to do an animated show about a woke family.

Walt, I doubt you want to come back if you knew what your company became. If you knew, you would stay frozen.... :-(
