Hey, I haven’t watched it yet, but a documentary was made about some of the Disney issues called “Walt’s Disenchanted Kingdom”, some preview here:
PJ Media talks about the film here https://pjmedia.com/culture/lincolnbrown/2023/02/20/youtube-age-restricts-catholic-disney-documentary-n1672134
Edit: Here is a youtube link to the actual film (I watched it, it’s a little slow but worth watching and covers similar territory to this article):
Donald Trump has been criticizing Ron DeSantis on his fight with Disney:
18 April 2023: “DeSanctus is being absolutely destroyed by Disney. …”
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/110220068407907874
Donald Trump wouldn’t be concerned about the 20 million donated to his 2020 super PAC, would he?
About 10 million from a formal CEO of marvel?
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-disney-executive-who-donated-10-million-to-help-trump-in-2020/
Hey, Trump is not alone, Chris Christie also took the Groomer Disney’s side:
“I don’t think Ron DeSantis is a conservative based on his actions towards Disney,”
LOL, AGAINST DISNEY IS THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE! What does saying that tell you about Chris Christie?
Mike Pence also showed some contra-conservative leaning colors as Bloomberg indicated on 22 February 2023 “Vice President Mike Pence criticized Ron DeSantis, a potential 2024 Republican presidential rival, saying the Florida governor went too far in his fight with Walt Disney”
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-02-22/pence-criticizes-desantis-over-his-war-with-disney-in-2024-shot?leadSource=uverify%20wall
Trump, Christie, and Pence all on the same side against DeSantis? Say it ain’t so! Trump blending in with Pence and Christie would break the Trump world narrative that DeSantis is some kind of hard establishment candidate.
There are issues with Disney’s over favored business status. We try to avoid monopolies to avoid giving one company too much power don’t we? We also have a major issue with Disney intentionally injecting a sexual curriculum targeting children.
On taking the side of Groomer Disney I think Trump is on the wrong side of this.
I’m not the only one thinking this way. In 2022 Andrea Widburg wrote in American Thinker “So Disney has just become the standard-bearer for grooming grade-schoolers and encouraging the surgical and chemical mutilation of children.” https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/03/its_time_to_stop_viewing_disney_as_a_familyfriendly_company.html
Have a look at the fight we have had with Disney (not totally in chronological order):
Let me start out of order with this 2022 National Review quote “an executive producer at Disney said she was advancing a “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” to insert queerness into children’s animation”
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/disney-executive-producer-admits-to-gay-agenda-adding-queerness-wherever-she-could/
I could stop here. Disney has a child grooming agenda. It should be over for Disney with parents who do not want sexualization to immature hormonal children, let alone sexualization that contradicts biological design. However, let’s just get some kind of timeline of how this Disney issue has developed:
Townhall 2019
In regards to Disney //it's vitally important for conservative Christians to resist and debate the arrogant ways the radical left is seeking to remake the world to match its own vision of "diversity and inclusion" by banning diversity and inclusion//

Marvel’s Loki “has come out as gender fluid and is now proclaimed to be bisexual.”
“why the messaging behind his proclamation in episode three of the series is such a strong move by Disney towards advancing the Cultural Marxism”

“specifically mentioning Gina Carano — asked Chapek if Disney had a “black list” and if the company had targeted Carano for her conservative beliefs”
“its hiring of Colin Kaepernick and Jemele Hill … Both Kaepernick and Hill hold views on American policing and the supposed existence of “systemic racism”
Western Journal notes that ““Equity” is a left-wing aim and the exact opposite of the right’s goal to produce “equality of opportunity,” which inevitably leads to inequity.”

Townhall 2022
“In 1967, when the Florida legislature gave The Walt Disney Company a special district, it did so to help Disney create a family friendly entertainment mecca. … Not so any more. Over the last several years, and loudly now, Disney has become embarrassingly woke; it has rejected its historic brand and has lost its essential identity (and increasingly its audience). It appears to be on a financial suicide mission, going broke to be woke.”

This does show that Disney has been transforming itself from what it classically has been.

I think Ron DeSantis has the moral high ground here. Trump, Pence, and Christie have taken the wrong side of this fight, in my opinion. Thank you for reading.
