Woke Disney’s year of enduring box office bombs, subscriber losses and layoffs
Fox News ^ | 2/25/23 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 02/25/2023 1:37:04 PM PST by CFW

February has been a cruel month for Disney as the giant corporation slashed 7,000 employees in mass layoffs and announced a 2.4-million subscriber loss to streaming service Disney+. All of this came as the network endured yet another woke controversy as a kids cartoon show on the streaming service lectured children about "white fragility" and denounced Abraham Lincoln.

But these latest problems for Disney are not new and are only the latest in what is closing in on a year of woke disasters, instability at the top of the company and financial problems. Here are some of the many problems Disney has endured in 2022 and 2023.

Good. I hope they continue to lose subscribers and their "woke" movies are box-office disasters. Serves them right for betraying their customers.

Have they removed the Abraham Lincoln theatre at Disneyland.

That was a very interesting experience.

Saw it one time with Japanese tourists in the audience-—and they thought it was a real person-—

It is all automated

Truly woke individuals will not course-correct. Instead they will double down.
Disney seems filled with truly woke people.

Disney’s current stock price is approx. $100, up from it’s 52 week low of 84.07 last December. A year ago it was 150.00, and in March of 2021 was $197.00, but it has been falling steadily in price since then (although up a bit now from its lows). Its last paid dividend was about .88 per share and that was in January of 2020.

(To When You Wish Upon a Star)
When your company goes woke,
Very soon you will be broke,
Anything that you put out
Will be a bomb.

Wokeness is your policy.
Nothing left for us to see.
Anything tht you put out
We’ll stay far from.

Walt is turning over in his grave.

And the woke idiots who run his company are probably trying to find a way to turn that into a Disney World ride.

Yup. It will be interesting to see this plays out.

I’ll bet that, at some point, Uncle Joe will give them a bailout.

7,000 translates to four percent of the workforce.no mention what percent 2.2 million lost viewers is of total.

I think they could recover all their losses and might even jump into huge revenue gains, if they...

made Mickey gay

and turned Minnie into a lesbian...

and made Goody into a transvestite.

Hope they take my suggestions. Why wouldn’t they, since that’s what they’re advocating for now in all of their divisions.

Marvel would be turned into the marvelous world of woke.

I keep getting emails from HULU to add Disney+ and ESPN back on to my service for $2 more per month.

No thanks.

The leftist woke zombies will consume the host until it dies.

There is nothing to save anymore.

I keep wondering when they’re going to notice Main Street USA, and set their woke sights on turning it into an African village or some such. Every visitor to Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom in Orlando walks down a street that is a tribute to turn of the century small town Midwestern (read:”white”) America. You just know that has to go at some point.

No absurdity is beyond consideration for these vile degenerates.

Permit to add something to your list. Walt Disney was in charge when that evil, vile movie “Song of the South” was made.

So the “Disney” name itself has got to go! Perhaps they can name the studio in honor of that weird guy who’s some kind of government health admiral. “The Rachel Levine Company”, yeah that’s the ticket.
