Bob Iger Says 'Woke' Disney Is Over, But it May Not Silence His Critics
MSN ^ | 4/3 | Lucia Moses, Madeline Berg

Disney CEO Bob Iger emphasized that the company would focus on entertaining over advancing "any kind of agenda," just after the media giant survived a proxy fight waged by activist shareholders.

Asked during Disney's annual shareholder meeting Q&A on April 3 if the company would just provide entertainment and stay out of politics, Iger said Disney's job was to "entertain, first and foremost."

"I've always believed that we have a responsibility to do good in the world, but we know our job is not to advance any kind of agenda," he said on the live-streamed meeting. "For as long as I'm in the job, I'm going to continue to be guided by a sense of decency and respect, and we'll always trust our instincts."

Did you hear the one about Disney’s Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy’s formula for success?

“Put a chick in South Park and make her gay.”


Disney is more woke than ever. One beloved Walt Disney legacy after another is being turned into politicized DEI dreck that has fans hysterically laughing and with-holding their money from whacked-out Disney at the same time.


LAUGH BREAK Disney’s “long-awaited” live-action revamp of Walt Disney’s beloved tale of “Snow White” has been delayed til 2025.

According to The Hollywood Reporter last October, Disney has decided to push back the release date for its redo of the Walt Disney classic.....now known as “Snow Woke.”

The delay is no doubt in response to the drubbing Disney got when they released images of Snow White alongside her dwarf pals (below).

While the lead actor looked more or less as expected, her seven companions all appeared to be portraying the DEI’ed seven dwarfs as a racially and physically diverse group of people, as opposed to a septet of people with dwarfism.

At the time, Disney scurried to emphasize to Vanity Fair that while those early photos were from Snow White’s set, they were not “official,” and depicted “stand-ins” for some cast members.

Obviously, set photos aren’t always indicative of how a movie turns out, but does seem to indicate that the new live-action Snow White is not going to take notes from the beloved 1937 Walt Disney film.

But given the approach Disney’s taken to updating its other remakes, it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see the new Snow Woke’s dwarfs looking like tricky woke cuties...... not like the story that made them famous.

It also did not help when Snow White star, Rachel Ziegler (Rachel who?), made some deplorable feminist-laden woke statements about her movie character.

How nebulous of him to issue such a muddy statement.

Maybe the Evil Queen will replace the Woodsman and his ax with an MS-13 gang member with his machete.

I think it was more the actress, than the four non dwarves. She basically trashed the movie, called the original prince a creepy stalker, said this version would not be about her finding love, but about Snow White finding her leadership ability, etc.

I don’t understand why he would say this, he and his DEI directors keep ensuring us all the backlash is from a small minority of fake fans. So did he back off black/female Jack Sparrow? We know from history there were so many black female pirates.

Yes. He’s gay, and make no mistake; while he may have enough good business sense to realize that the agenda has been pushed too far, too fast and too hard in recent years, he’s still 100% behind the agenda.

At some point, people will watch what their given, especially since most TV and movies are that way.

Where do you get that? I looked it up, I see no evidence of that. If he was gay, imagine the credit he would get as the greatest executive ever.
