Now that the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s The Marvels is a bonafide box office catastrophe, we can expect the usual-usual lies about how this is all the fault of racist Trump supporters, all the fault of everything except a lousy movie with unappealing stars running around pointing at terrible CGI in a spent franchise that has worked overtime to alienate fans by taking a dump on everything they once loved about that franchise. Except. The science does not back that up. Here’s a breakdown of the suckers who went to see The Marvels this weekend…. Other diagnostics on The Marvels: 65%...

While Disney+ remains a competitor against Netflix, Max, Amazon Prime Video, and others, it also turns out that the streaming platform is actually losing the company hundreds of millions of dollars. Disney’s recent earnings report showed that its current attempts to corner the streaming market have been utterly failing, even as it increasingly jacks up subscription prices and deletes original content. In a call to analysts, Iger revealed that beginning in December, the new service will be beta-tested as a combined app with Hulu, with both apps to be permanently replaced in March of 2024 (per Deadline). According to him,...

Hulu, the video subscription service, released on Tuesday a preview of its upcoming docuseries, an adaptation of New York Times journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones' controversial endeavor, "The 1619 Project." The project, which Hannah-Jones launched in 2019, "aims to reframe the country's history by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative." Supporters of the project believe that Americans need to be reeducated about the impact "anti-Black racism and inequality" has had on the country's past and present. However, the project's historical accuracy has been repeatedly contested and debunked. Roger Ross...

The live-action, woke-AF remake of “Snow White” looks like it’s going to be Disney’s next big-budget flop — and it also looks like the struggling studio already has someone primed to take the fall. To give you an idea of how insane Hollywood budgets are, even a blockbuster success can lose money. The new Indiana Jones drove this lifelong, diehard fan away — and I wasn’t the only one. “Indiana Jones and the Diaper of Dysentery” needed to earn nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS before showing a profit (as the Critical Drinker explained last month) but after seven weeks is still...

Online searches of the phrase “cancel Disney Plus” have reportedly spiked after Disney announced it will hike prices for the streaming entertainment service by more than 25 percent. Google’s search data show that “cancel Disney Plus’ jumped worldwide by 510 percent on Monday — the most significant increase of that phrase on Google Trends since January 2023, according to an analysis from NoDeposit.guide. Last week, the Walt Disney Company said it is hiking Disney+’s monthly subscription price to $13.99 from $10.99 — a 27 percent increase. Last year, the price rose to $10.99 from $7.99, which means Disney+ subscribers will...

The floundering Walt Disney Company’s Disney+ streaming service is expected to record a $800 million third-quarter loss. That’s nearly a billion dollars lost in a single quarter. I tell ya, Disney’s slow-motion collapse is more entertaining than anything these child predators have created in years. Apparently, grooming little kids doesn’t pay. Who knew? In better news, Disney stock took a dive after it was announced disgraced CEO Bob Iger extended his contract to 2026. The smart money knows Groomer Bob is not good for business. Wanna good laugh? The Disney sycophants in the corporate media have been portraying these massive...

The Death Spiral. When companies enter it, I always go back to the legendary quote from Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart (he was offering an opinion in a case regarding hard-core pornography): ''I know it when I see it." I onboarded a new account this week, and one of the first things we did was dump Disney (DIS) . The client had some other long-term winners, and I let those go, but as far as DIS, I couldn't wait to dump that one and put it into one of my beloved preferreds, in this case we chose (PACWP) , PacWest's...

Disney CEO Bob Iger directly responded to criticism from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and conservatives that the company is sexualizing children. "We are a pre-eminent entertainer in the world, and we're proud of our track record there. The notion that Disney is in any way sexualizing children, quite frankly, is preposterous and inaccurate," Iger said during an interview on CNBC Thursday.

Multiple Disney employees admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible. Disney isn’t just grooming children with radical sexual propaganda — now they’re bragging about it. On the heels of Florida’s new Parental Rights in Education law, which bars educators from instructing kindergarten through third-grade students about sexual ideology, multiple executives and employees from the Walt Disney Company admitted their own personal missions to deluge 5- to 9-year-olds with as much of their own sexual ideology as possible. One Disney executive boasted about her “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” and...

Disney Plus is now home to content marketed to kindergarteners that deals with extremely divisive and controversial social topics of the day. That's already strange enough, but combine that with a previously disclosed "not so secret agenda" and you'll find discover Disney is solely on one side of the propaganda game. A nuanced or neutral presentation this is not. Instead, the loveable characters from the original Proud Family television show have been brought back only to push extreme ideology, world views, and political beliefs on your children.

Miep Gies, the last survivor among Anne Frank’s protectors and the woman who preserved the diary that endures as a testament to the human spirit in the face of unfathomable evil, died Monday night, the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam said. She was 100. The BBC said Mrs. Gies suffered a fall late last month and died at a nursing home. “I am not a hero,” Mrs. Gies wrote in her memoir, “Anne Frank Remembered,” published in 1987. “I stand at the end of the long, long line of good Dutch people who did what I did and more —...

Bel Powley stars as Miep Gies in the Disney+ series 'A Small Light' (Video screenshot) How far will Hollywood "progressives" go to advance their agenda of celebrating all things LGBT? Evidently, as far as taking a real historical figure and making him homosexual – with zero evidence – as a tool to inject "queer" history into the storyline. Tony Phelan and Joan Rater are the husband-and-wife creators of the popular historical mini-series "A Small Light," about Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who famously helped hide Anne Frank's family and other Jews from Nazi occupiers carrying out Hitler's "Final Solution" in...

Disney is proud to push PRIDE.Pride is the code word for the alphabet people. It used to be reserved for gays and lesbians but now has become the all-purpose umbrella ideology for everything from doggy fetishists to people pretending to be infants. Sex workers have their own symbol on the new pride flag, and every paraphilia imaginable is being celebrated.The argument for gay marriage that finally worked, changing the attitude of the whole country, was that by opening up marriage to gays and lesbians they would become integrated into the larger society and adopt the norms and traditions of heterosexuals....

Disney is facing furious fire after announcing that its getting ready to remove more than 50 different shows and movies from its streaming platforms. Deadline reported that a total of 58 titles will be leaving Disney+ and Hulu beginning on May 26 - and the internet is not happy about it. Disney has not given a specific reason for its decision to remove the titles - claiming in a statement from its chief financial officer that it is part of 'strategic changes in its approach to content curation' - however many are speculating that the company is attempting to delete...

Disney has moved deeply and quickly to change its products, which for decades were entertainment for children, to indoctrination in the LGBT ideology.It has built new story lines around LGBT characters, has openly battled with Florida over the state's plan to protect young children in school from inappropriate sex instructions, has even put warning labels on some older projects to advise that they do not any longer meet the requirements of the company for being politically correct.Now it's taking an even bigger step: It's new programming on Disney+ will feature a teen who falls in love with the devil.According to...

Is the House of Mouse in a full-on war with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis? If not, the organization is at the very least jabbing a finger in the governor’s eye. The Walt Disney Company will host a major summit to promote LGBTQ rights in the workplace. It will be held in Central Florida in September. Executives and professionals from the world’s largest companies will gather “in a defiant display of the limits of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign against diversity training.”The relationship between Disney and DeSantis has been tense for more than a year. Disney went super-woke and that included...

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’s brand took hit after hit last year, and 2023 is off to a similar start. The Mouse House’s decision to inject itself into the Culture Wars sent its stock prices tumbling in 2022. The company’s animation wing also suffered from two high-profile duds – “Lightyear” and “Strange World.” The company’s tactics can be seen in the new Salem Media feature, “Walt’s Disenchanted Kingdom” (NOTE: This reporter is featured in the documentary) Disney is starting the new year on familiar footing. Disney+ just unveiled season two of “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder.” The animated reboot follows Penny Proud and...

When I was growing up cartoons were just cartoons. Those days aren't just long gone. They're long dead. As a black kid, I never saw a problem with the Saturday morning and after-school offerings. ... But Disney+'s reboot, renamed 'The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,' is so far removed from what I grew up watching that I don't even recognize it. In fact, it's a Trojan horse of un-American, woke, propaganda. ... The series is not just political. It is downright radical; demonizing the police, denigrating white people, and perpetuating leftist narratives that you'd expect to see on MSNBC from...
