In a surprising turn of events, the legal battle between the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) and Disney has seemingly come to an end, with a settlement being reached that appears to favor Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. This conclusion is a stark contrast to the predictions made by many mainstream media outlets, which had previously sided with Disney and predicted DeSantis’ downfall.

The dispute began in 2022 after Disney publicly criticized Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act, prompting DeSantis to revoke Disney’s special tax district, which had given the entertainment company autonomy over its theme parks in the region. As a result, the media quickly took Disney’s side, with many outlets calling DeSantis’ actions “authoritarian” and mocking his attempt to challenge the billion-dollar corporation.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, numerous media personalities, including those from MSNBC, ABC’s “The View,” and NBC News, expressed their support for Disney and their belief that DeSantis would ultimately lose the battle. Headlines from various publications echoed this sentiment, claiming that Disney had outmaneuvered DeSantis and would eventually emerge victorious.

However, the recent settlement has shown that the media’s predictions were incorrect. The CFTOD board, appointed by DeSantis, voted to approve a settlement deal with Disney, effectively invalidating Disney’s previous attempts to retain governing control over the district and ending all pending litigation in Florida state court.

In response to the settlement, both Disney and the DeSantis team expressed optimism about the future. Disney’s Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle stated that the agreement opens a new chapter of constructive engagement with the new leadership of the district, while DeSantis’ communications director, Bryan Griffin, emphasized that no corporation should be its own government and that they are ready to work with Disney to promote economic growth and accountable government in Central Florida.

Despite this apparent resolution, a federal lawsuit filed by Disney against DeSantis alleging unfair retaliation for political reasons is still ongoing. However, a federal judge dismissed the case in January, and Disney has agreed to hold off on an appeal until after a new development agreement with the district is established.

Those employees may want a black Little Mermaid, or an all-female Avengers alternative, or for Indiana Jones to be replaced by an anti-capitalist woman, but they are a very small, very whiny minority. The overwhelming majority of people, at best, couldn’t care less, or at worst, are really tired of ham-fisted woke messaging in their media. Particularly when it’s being added to beloved franchises.

Even the like-minded leftists on social media praising the added wokeness and lambasting those who speak against it don’t actually want it. It’s all for show and you can see that in the box office. Disney has been releasing flop after flop this year and it’s caused them to lose the top spot to Universal for the first time since 2015.

According to Variety:

Disney slid to second place in terms of market share as its 17 new films, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” and “The Little Mermaid” among them, raked in $4.827 billion globally. In a note to press, the studio partially attributed the $80 million difference to the fact that Disney released seven fewer movies than Universal in 2023. It also went on to stress that Disney had the most titles of any studio in the top 10 this year, with four of the highest-grossing global releases and three of the biggest domestic releases.

Although Disney may claim their smaller roster of movies in 2023 is the cause of their dethronement, none of the movies they did release even crossed the billion-dollar mark. Keep in mind, back in 2019, they had seven movies cross the billion-dollar mark. One of those movies, Avengers: Endgame, nearly crossed the three billion-dollar mark and became the highest-grossing film of all time.

No Disney film even made it into the top three highest-grossing movies of just 2023.

(Daily Caller)—Companies’ bottom lines are set to recover from conservatives collectively staging boycotts in 2023 after a number of different marketing campaigns and products pushed left-wing ideals, but the backlash has ultimately changed the trajectory of corporate marketing, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Bud Light, owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, lost its spot as the top-selling beer in the U.S. in June to Modelo Especial after conservatives boycotted the brand due to a promotion in April featuring transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, similar to other backlash faced by companies like Target and Disney for left-wing marketing tactics. Conservative boycotts have lacked effectiveness in past years, but the backlash delivered in 2023 may discourage future left-wing marketing ideas as businesses seek to avoid controversy, even if those companies have so far been able to weather the storm, according to experts who spoke to the DCNF.

“Regardless of what InBev’s senior management or board members believe in their hearts about transgender activism, it seems clear that they are now committed to stepping away from political controversy to the greatest degree possible,” Richard Morrison, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the DCNF. “No company — especially no consumer products company with a wide customer base — wants to be the next InBev, and no one wants one of their flagship brands to be the next Bud Light. I strongly suspect that the Bud Light boycott — and how to avoid one like it — has been the #1 topic of conversation in every big corporate marketing team in 2023.”

Sales for Bud Light have yet to recover following the backlash, down 30% weekly compared to last year, according to CNN. U.S. revenue in the third quarter for Anheuser-Busch declined 13.5% per 100 liters, and sales to retailers declined 16.6%.

Consumer boycotts, particularly from conservatives, have in the past failed to affect businesses and their marketing strategies, with calls to boycott home coffee machine maker Keurig in 2017 after pulling advertisements from Sean Hannity’s show on Fox having little effect, according to Vox. Nike received a bump in profits after conservatives sought to boycott the shoemaker following an advertisement with former NFL quarterback and activist Colin Kaepernick in 2018.

“With respect to the boycotts, I would say they have had mixed success,” Paul Mueller, senior research fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, told the DCNF. “On the one hand, Budweiser saw instant and significant backlash that led to change. Target has made some changes on the margins. Disney has mostly dug its heels in but they are certainly still feeling heat. Consumer boycotts tend to be transitory. People initially stop buying products and services because of shock or anger. But they rarely change their long-term buying habits.”

Top retailer Target lowered its sales and profit expectations for the rest of the year in August after its third quarter sales fell for the first time in six years. The decline in sales followed conservative backlash due to the company releasing a pride month collection that included LGBT merchandise marketed to kids.

Target has since appeared to double down on its marketing strategy, hiring Erik Thompson as a senior LGBTQIA+ segmentation and pride lead in November. The company recently sold pride-themed merchandise like rainbow nutcrackers and Christmas ornaments during the holiday season.

Disney faced conservative backlash in 2023 over its inclusion of LGBT characters and left-wing narratives in its new movies, like “The Marvels” in November, which had poor reception and box office performance. In Disney’s 10-K financial statement made public in November, the company recognized its social activism as a risk factor for future performance, noting that profitability could be affected due to environmental and social goals being misaligned with consumer tastes.

“Many times the eventual outcome is relatively proportional to the offense,” Mueller told the DCNF. “Budweiser, for example, has basically recovered its stock price for its ill-advised commercials. Target and Disney, however, have faced longer and more significant consequences for continuing in behavior that many consumers don’t like. That being said, both Target and Disney face broader market and industry pressure beyond backlash from their political and social advocacy and stances.”

Anheuser-Busch’s stock price has mostly recovered from the investor pullback following its deal with Mulvaney, after declining rapidly in May from $65.90 a share to $53.40 a share, according to Yahoo Finance. The company’s stock remained depressed below $60 a share until November when it climbed to near previous levels.

Financial institutions have also faced backlash for their use of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors when making investments, resulting in a decline in market share of new bond issuance for ESG investments in 2023.

“There has definitely been a decline in enthusiasm for ESG investing in general in 2023, but that’s likely because of both its own internal contradictions and association with unpopular left-wing policy goals,” Morrison told the DCNF. “ESG in general is much more likely to be focused on climate change and energy use than sex and gender identity politics, but the general association with entities like the World Economic Forum, ‘degrowth’ economics advocates, the UN’s sustainable development goals, and big-government management of the economy has caused a populist rejection of ESG much greater than even a couple of years ago, when the term had very little awareness outside of academic and business conferences.”

ESG investing has gained scrutiny from Republican officials as well, prompting Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, to subpoena top financial firms Vanguard, Arjuna Capital, BlackRock and State Street Global in December over allegations of ESG collusion violating antitrust law.

Republican-led states, like Florida and Texas, have previously pulled their money from investment firm BlackRock over the company’s use of ESG investments, totaling $4.5 billion in withdrawals in 2022.

Anheuser-Busch, Target and Disney did not respond to a request to comment from the DCNF.

4,000% is the approximate increase in Disney ticket prices since the theme park was founded in the 1970s. No wonder today’s middle-class families are being priced out of the Magic Kingdom experience that has become part of every kid’s dreams in the past five decades. Entrance costs, food, beverage, and service prices are shooting up right now as the company silently conducts hundreds of price increases across the system.

Lower park attendance and declining sales numbers aren’t stopping CEO Bob Iger from adding extra charges on almost everything Disney sells, and avid fans are definitely hurting. Some of the changes will be devastating for consumers who are planning to visit Disney World in the coming months and in the next year, a new report shows. So if you want to find out how much more it’s going to cost to visit and purchase your favorite Disney items, keep tuned until the end of this video!

This fall might be your last chance to buy Disney tickets for less, according to a new CNN report. The entertainment giant is readjusting prices for the fifth time in three years. Amid a cost-cutting effort and attempts to boost the company’s falling profits, CEO Bob Iger has just approved a series of price hikes that will affect parks, general merchandise, and streaming services costs in just a few short months.

Many restaurants have already been quietly introducing menu price changes in the past few months, especially during the summer. On the company’s official website, the exact increases are not being disclosed to the public. However, data compiled by Disney Food Blog exposed price jumps of up to 40% in the past couple of months.

Even though customers already seem alarmed by spiking prices at Disney theme parks, CEO Bob Iger says it will help “boost revenue and limit overcrowding.” In fact, amid falling sales and subscriber losses, the company’s streaming service Disney+ will get almost 30% more expensive starting on October 12. Commercial-free Disney+ will cost $13.99 per month, a 27% increase, while Hulu without ads will cost $17.99 per month, a 20% price hike.

There’s one alarming trend for executives to watch out for — Demand for parks is going down. In Florida, park attendance this summer was 12 percentage points lower than during the summer of 2022. The tab for admission tickets to the Disney World and Disneyland theme parks has jumped more than 3,871% in the past 50 years — dwarfing increases in visitors’ wages, as well as the cost of rent and gas, figures compiled by data-tracking firm SJ Data Visualizations showed. By comparison, wages as well as the cost of rent and gasoline have all risen by percentages well below 500% during the same timeframe,

“If Walt [Disney] were alive today, he would probably be uncomfortable with the prices they’re charging right now,” Scott Smith, an assistant professor of hospitality at the University of South Carolina, who worked as a cast member in Disney’s Haunted Mansion, told the Washington Post. “They’ve priced middle-class families out.

Sadly, the Happiest Place on Earth is now becoming the priciest place on Earth, and only a very selected group of Guess will be able to afford it.

This is a good thing, because the only way these companies are going to willingly change their behavior is if they see that pushing a radical social agenda dramatically affects the bottom line.

Bud Light is a perfect example.  On April 1st, Dylan Mulvaney sent shockwaves all over the Internet by promoting Bud Light on social media…

On April 1, Mulvaney posted two pictures on social media.

In one picture, she held a can of Bud Light with her picture on it, and in another picture, she sat in a bubble bath with Bud Light cans around her.

At first a lot of people thought that this was a joke.

After all, it seemed extremely unlikely that a company like Bud Light would actually hire Dylan Mulvaney to promote the brand.

But that is precisely what happened, and the backlash was furious.

To this day, millions of conservatives are refusing to purchase Bud Light, and sales have fallen “by more than 25%”…

After four months of hiring freezes and layoffs — with some beer truck drivers getting heckled and harassed even as Bud Light sales have dropped by more than 25% — Anheuser-Busch wholesalers have accepted that they have lost a chunk of their customers for good — and need to focus on a new crop of drinkers.

“Consumers have made a choice,” said an executive at a Texas-based beer distributor who did not want to be identified. “They have left [Bud Light] and that’s how it’s going to be. I don’t envision a big percentage of them coming back.”

Target is another example.

It turns out that millions of conservative parents were absolutely disgusted by the sick clothing and accessories that the retailer was promoting to their children, and so many of them simply stopped shopping there. As a result, sales results for the second quarter were extremely dismal…

The second quarter just wrapped up for the 2024 fiscal year, meaning it’s time to dive in and see who crushed it … and who got crushed.

Target, as you can probably guess by now, falls into the latter category.

“Target was our worst performer in the quarter, primarily driven by customers and public reaction to in-store promotions for the month of June,” Smead Capital Management wrote in a letter to investors this week.

Over the past year, shares of Target are down more than 20 percent, and the outlook for the future is not good at all.

Netflix is another company that has learned that it does not pay to go woke.

After coming out with a very twisted slate of “woke” programming over the past couple of years, the streaming giant has begun to hemorrhage subscribers.

In fact, the company lost nearly a million subscribers during the second quarter alone…

The carnage at Netflix keeps getting worse. On Tuesday, the far left-wing streamer revealed that it lost close to 1 million subscribers in the second quarter — the largest quarterly loss of customers in the company’s history.

I fully expect the “carnage” at Netflix to continue, but there is one company that has all of the other examples that I have shared with you so far beat by a mile.

Once upon a time, parents all over America trusted Disney to produce family-friendly content for their children. As a result, Disney became one of the largest entertainment companies in the world.

But then Disney went “woke”, and results started to turn sour.

Here in 2023, Disney movie after Disney movie has absolutely flopped at the box office, and it is being projected that the company’s film losses so far this year could be around a billion dollars…

Disney have faced a summer of box office disasters bringing the studio’s total losses to almost $1 billion. This includes Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny being set to go down as one of the biggest flops in Hollywood history.

Unfortunately, even after everything that we have already witnessed, some companies out there continue to insist on pushing “woke” propaganda.

Earlier today, Costa Coffee was making national headlines for all the wrong reasons…

Anti-LGBTQ social media users are threatening to boycott the world’s second-largest coffee chain after a photo of one of its mobile cafe vans, which bore an illustration of a transgender person, began to circulate online Monday.

The hashtag #BoycottCostaCoffee garnered traction after outspoken critics took issue with the illustration, which shows a trans person with scars from a double mastectomy, also known as top surgery. Others tweeted in support of the illustration, saying it brought visibility to trans people. It was not immediately clear when the illustration was first displayed or how many cafe vans it was printed on.

This certainly isn’t going to help them sell coffee.

So why are they doing it?

Our country is so divided today, and CEOs know that getting involved in politics will likely alienate a substantial portion of the consumer base.

But some CEOs just continue to make self-destructive decisions anyway.

Needless to say, it isn’t just companies that are going “woke” and paying a price for it.

Entire states have chosen to embrace “woke” ideology, and this is one of the reasons why so many people and businesses have been migrating from blue states to red states…

With a single tweet, Chamath Palihapitiya, the CEO of Social Capital, recently became the provocative main character of the day on Twitter (now rebranding to X).

Palihapitiya sent out a screenshot of a Bloomberg article based on how six southern states had contributed more to U.S. gross domestic product than the northeast corridor of Washington-New York-Boston for the first time in history.

But it was his accompanying caption that sparked hot debate: “Go woke, go broke,” he said, implying that the ongoing culture war and economic policies of northeastern states had facilitated the migration of wealth and economic power to the South.

Of course the largest “woke” institution of all is the federal government.

And it deeply grieves me to write that.

The Republic that our founders established is unrecognizable today, and thanks to our deeply liberal spending policies we are now 32 trillion dollars in debt.

On Tuesday, Fitch announced that it had decided to officially downgrade U.S. debt from AAA to AA+…

President Biden’s administration is placing the blame for the U.S.’ drop in credit rating on former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6 riots.

Fitch announced Tuesday it has officially downgraded the U.S.’ long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating to “AA+” from “AAA,” saying the downgrade “reflects the expected fiscal deterioration” and the nation’s heavy debt burden.

This is a really big deal, especially if the downgrade turns out to be permanent.

Our entire society is on a deeply self-destructive path, and we desperately need to wake up from all of this “woke” nonsense.mWill that happen? Let us hope so, because the clock is ticking…

According to reports, “Praise Petey” is about a young girl who inherits “a human-sacrificing, blood-drinking cult whose logo has the all-seeing eye,” to quote one source.

A product of Disney Television Studios’ 20th Television Animation, “Praise Petey” is something that parents will not want their children to watch, despite bearing the Disney brand name.

Described by The Hollywood Reporter as an “adult animated comedy,” “Praise Petey” depicts a girl having to move from the big city to “a place called New Utopia” where she is charged with taking care of her deceased father’s ritualistic murder cult.

“It’s a community her father founded, only it’s not like most,” the Reporter described. “Here, everyone’s part of a cult. Even worse? They believe Petey’s their prophesied savior.”

“You being here means the prophecy of the great daughter’s return is fulfilled,” one of the characters, voiced over by actor John Cho in a fake southern accent, says in a two-minute teaser of the show.

“Is this town doing okay?” the Petey character then asks before another character, voiced over by Kiersey Clemons, responds with, “Nah, we’re starving.”

Female empowerment is of course a prominent theme in “Praise Petey”

In order to fulfill her father’s cult’s prophecy, Petey is to return to the town where his cult has a stranglehold. Petey does not want to do this, though, and instead chooses to “girlboss” her way out of it.

As usual, Petey is propped up as an independent, empowered woman who defies the patriarchy, which is admittedly evil in the context of the show’s premise. Petey takes it upon herself to remove the cult elements from her father’s town and give the community a different pathway forward.

“No more human sacrifice,” Petey, dressed in a “midsommar-like flower gown” tells the community members of New Utopia upon becoming empowered. “I have a vision for New Utopia, and it is bright!”

In other words, the evil patriarchy was ruining New Utopia, so a woman had to come in and change everything to turn it into a paradise – talk about a typical, predictable yawner from Hollywood.

“Disney is crap,” one commenter wrote, putting it plainly and simply.

“Actually, Disney is a clear-cut child abuse corporation at this point,” responded another. “Where is law enforcement?”

Like the rest of the corporate-controlled media machine, Disney remains outspokenly opposed to the new “Sound of Freedom” film starring Jim Caviezel of “Passion of the Christ,” even while it simultaneously promotes banal filth like “Praise Petey.”

“No wonder they are trying to diss ‘Sound of Freedom,'” another commenter wrote about Disney, which openly supports grooming, transgenderism, and other forms of LGBT pedophilia and perversion.

“This is just another verifier to show us how sick American and Western culture has become.”

Numerous other commenters pointed out that decent parents everywhere will stop allowing their children to consume Disney programming.

“Parents do not want their kids around these homosexual pedophile child molesters,” one said. “Disney World in Orlando is suffering. Here it is, nearly mid-July, schools are out, families are on vacation, and the streets of Disney are just about empty!”

“Probably even the kids don’t want to go after running from their perverted public schools ‘teachers,'” responded another.

The company’s poor financial results are worrying Wall Street and sending shares into a free fall at a time when bankruptcies in the entertainment sector continue to rise. Experts say CEO Bob Iger has a huge problem on his hands, and in today’s video, we break down the troubles facing the House of Mouse.

A new analysis by Valliant Renegate estimates that the Walt Disney Company is looking at a $900 million loss following the fiasco of its latest releases. The last eight studio movies put out by the entertainment giant had a very weak performance compared to executives’ expectations.

CEO Bob Iger has been facing increasing pressure due to the mounting losses, but he has also been dealing with a political battle against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is trying to take over Disney World’s theme park district. The conflict between DeSantis and Disney started in 2022 after the entertainment enterprise, in the face of rising backlash, publicly opposed legislation concerning a bill that banned schools from teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity for the state’s students.

In retaliation, DeSantis took over Disney World’s governing district through legislation passed by lawmakers and established a new board of supervisors. But the truth is that Disney’s amusement park problems in Florida are small in comparison to the issues facing its online and brick-and-mortar retail operations.

The company’s streaming media business is going from bad to worse this year. According to data shared by Reuters, “Walt Disney Co faced streaming losses by $400 million in the prior quarter and also shed subscribers in Q1 2023.” Overall, the entertainment corporation lost $659 million just on its streaming segment. Subscriptions dropped to 157.8 million from 161.8 million. In total, the company is seeing a loss of over $1.5 billion.

Additionally, Iger announced that two dozen physical locations in America will be eliminated before the end of 2023.

Wall Street is extremely worried about the headwinds faced by Disney, and investors punished the company for its latest earnings report. Amid multiple controversies and shakeups, The Walt Disney Company’s stock price is nowhere near where it once was, losing 117% of its value since 2021. Since the beginning of the year, shares plunged by almost 20%. Financial experts say that the selloff was fueled by uncertainty over Iger’s takeover of the company.

So far, the new CEO has not turned the company around. His, so far, has not been successful. Instead, he laid off 7,000 workers in a cost-cutting move. The cuts come as he tries to slash $5.5 billion in costs to keep the business afloat. The outlook is truly concerning, especially amid a trend of billionaire bankruptcies in the entertainment industry.

This year alone, Vice Media, Regal Cinemas, which owns CineWorld and National CineMedia filed for bankruptcy due to a massive drop in revenue and loss of profitability. The environment is getting more hostile for US businesses as Americans continue to struggle financially. The future of Disney is on the line, and now more than ever, executives must step up their game to save the legacy of Walt Disney.

But they never blamed wokeness.

Lately, they’ve at least started mentioning it in some corporate media reviews and movie postmortems. They never come out and say that wokeness is bad, but at least they’re acknowledging that many films by companies like Disney are “controversial,” and the controversy “contributed” to their box office failures.

Admittedly, this was not the trend I expected. If you asked me in March or April how corporate media would report on Hollywood’s growing list of woke bombs, I would have said they would continue to try to hide the fact and blame “bigots” on the right for not being inclusive enough to let their kids be indoctrinated by LGBT propaganda or Critical Race Theory injected into plotlines.

Is the truth becoming too blatant for even corporate media to ignore? If so, now is the time to strike. And by strike, I mean ramp up efforts to inform our friends and relatives about two things. First, we need to continue to lambast woke movies. Lightyear suffered from such warnings, not just in media but through word of mouth. Second, we may need to support movies that are not woke… if you are among those who still watch movies. I personally do not, though I will make rare exceptions for movies that are on target.

Sound of Freedom is such a movie, from what I’ve heard. We will be watching it as soon as possible.

Between proving to them that woke movies are unsuccessful while rewarding unwoke movies with success, we can actually make them change. But here’s the thing. A large part of me hopes they don’t change. The only reason I’d like to see a change at all is because I’m aware of the influence they have over many Americans. However, that may not be enough for me to hope they improve.

That large part of me that doesn’t want them to change really wants them to completely fail. Would America be better off if Hollywood learned its lesson or if Hollywood failed to oblivion? I’m leaning toward the latter. An irrelevant Hollywood is, in my humble opinion, better for America than one that reluctantly starts making better business decisions. This is why I believe we should go for the jugular and stop watching anything they put out at all. Sound of Freedom may be the last Hollywood movie I ever watch.

Even if we push them to take notice of their dwindling bank accounts, they won’t stop promoting demonic ideas. They’ll just be more subtle. Perhaps we won’t get anything overtly woke like the recent Velma debacle, but the evil in Hollywood is so pervasive that they’ll simply sink back into the shadows a bit with less obvious indoctrination messages. They’ll still squeeze “inclusivity” into kids’ shows. They’ll still dishonor American patriotism, Christians, and straight white men as much as possible. It’s baked into who they are. The only way to truly “fix” Hollywood is to put them out of business. Incremental changes won’t do the trick.

With that said, here’s an article by Tyler Durden from Zero Hedge that details their current trajectory toward irrelevance.

Woke Hollywood Sinks Into Irrelevance After Multiple Box Office Failures

The formula for box office success these days seems rather simple – Produce a solid story with relatable and likable characters, and tell that story in a setting that makes sense with as few distractions and tangents as possible.  In other words, make a normal movie without the intent to manipulate your audience with propaganda.

Most movies that follow this basic formula will rake in the cash.  Any movie that insists on browbeating the audience will bomb; get woke, go broke.  The problem is that Hollywood elitists just can’t help themselves.  They think they’re smarter than the audience and smarter than the box office, and they would rather lose their entire business and fade into obscurity than admit the truth:  The market dictates the success or failure of popular media, the media does not dictate the market.

To be fair, the media culture we live in today is far different from what it was even 10 years ago.  The entertainment industry is no longer interested in keeping the public happy or distracted, they’re only interested in “platforms.”  They see every movie and every popular franchise as a vehicle to deliver their gospel, the gospel of woke.  It is likely that they believe if they saturate the market long enough and thoroughly enough with their messaging that one day the public will just give up and accept woke as the new normal.

This isn’t happening.  There’s been a flurry of film flops in the past year which have made it obvious that Hollywood is imploding instead of gaining influence.

Disney is probably the best place to start as a window into woke failure, because the company strategically targets children with far-left concepts from feminism to gay and trans ideology.  The company was on a downward spiral well before they tried to go to war with the state of Florida, declaring that they would do everything in their power to overturn anti-child grooming laws.  But that little incident didn’t help, either.

Disney’s slate of failed films over the past year has included:

• Turning Red, a metaphorical animated film exploring female puberty and menstruation.  The movie lost  $168 million.
• Lightyear, which featured a lesbian relationship and was released right after their fight with Florida.  Disney was also accused of removing Tim Allen as the voice actor for the popular Buzz Lightyear character because of his conservative leanings.  The movie lost at least $106 million.
• Strange World, another animated children’s film featuring thinly veiled climate change propaganda as well as a prominent LGBT relationship involving teen boys.  One of the biggest flops in Disney history with a loss of $197 million.
• Peter Pan And Wendy, a live action adaptation of the classic, was offloaded quickly to Disney’s streaming service and received dismal audience reviews.  The movie boasted a race swapped Peter Pan, race swapped Tinkerbell,  gender swapped “lost boys,” and a Mary Sue-like Wendy that battles 200 pound pirates with her sword fighting skills.
• The Little Mermaid, a live action adaptation, race swapped the classic Dutch fairy tale character and changed the message of the story from a mermaid seeking the love of a prince to “she don’t need no man to save her.”  The movie lost at least $20 million.
• Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny, a film which attempts to undermine and deconstruct its title character and replace him with an anti-capitalist feminist activist, has been met with thumbs down from audiences and critics that have seen it so far, along with general disdain by fans of the franchise.  It is expected to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for Disney due to its massive budget.
• Elemental, a ham-fisted commentary about racism with Disney’s first animated “non-binary” character, is crashing at theaters and is expected to lose tens of millions of dollars.  The movie also had the 2nd worst box office debut in Pixar history, a company that was once seen as a sure thing.

Disney isn’t the only leftist media company in the gutter these days, it’s merely the most notorious.  Multiple woke movie calamities have struck in the past year from the horrendous ‘Bros,’ to the vapid ‘Fauci’ documentary, to AOC’s climate change documentary which went down in flames, to Amazon’s attempt to hijack Lord of the Rings with their woke ‘Rings Of Power’ series.  The list goes on and on, with production losses in the billions for 2022-2023.

What Hollywood doesn’t seem to realize is that audiences have options and nothing is going to force people to consume leftist ideology as a recreational product; they greatly overestimated their influence.  They might as well get rid of the box office altogether and come out of the closet as the defacto propaganda wing for governments and globalists.  Then they can abandon the facade and start making their own woke versions of ‘Triumph Of The Will.’

In the meantime, it appears that the game is over.  Western consumers are beginning to realize the scale of their boycotting power and they are using it aggressively this year.  And though woke companies are doubling down and insisting that social justice, feminism and trans cultism are the wave of the future, the reality is that (for now) propaganda cannot be made without profits.  The money is running out.

Nowadays, Disney is run by woke America-hating leftists who promote aberrant behaviors and lifestyles practiced by a small minority of people but whom the company’s execs are using to help destroy our country as founded.

“As part of its ‘pride’ collection, Disney is selling LGBT-themed onesies for infants 0 to 3 months old. They feature Mickey Mouse with the word ‘love’ written in rainbow colors above him,” The Western Journal reported.

Disney execs arrogantly have dismissed any concerns about profit-stealing boycotts like those launched against retailer Target and beer brand Bud Light after their woke marketing fiascos.

The Journal’s report added:

In addition, Disney is offering LGBT-themed Star Wars T-shirts for children and plush toys of Mickey Mouse holding a rainbow flag. The message is clear: Just like Target, Disney wants to indoctrinate your children in far-left ideology. To anyone who has been following Disney the past few years, this should hardly come as a surprise, as the company never seems to miss an opportunity to promote the LGBT agenda.

Last year, per Disney Connect, a statement says that Disney Pride Collection will include rainbow backpacks, cups, shirts and merchandise from several brands, like Star Wars and Marvel attire in Pride colors. Disney even has gay pet attire.

“The Disney Pride Collection was created by LGBTQIA+ employees and allies at The Walt Disney Company and is a reflection of their incredible contributions and place at the heart of the company. We stand in solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ community everywhere,” the statement says.

“The Walt Disney Company will be donating all of our profits from the Disney Pride Collection sales now through June 30, 2022 to organizations that support LGBTQIA+ youth and families. This includes sales of Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars Pride Collection merchandise,” it continues.

The Daily Wire added:

In the same announcement, Disney promised to donate all of its domestic profits from the pride collection to organizations that support LGBTQ causes until the end of June, also known as “Pride Month.” 

Groups designated to benefit from Disney’s sales include the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which says it “exists to create safe and affirming schools and learning environments for all K-12 students,” and The Trevor Project, a suicide prevention resource for LGBTQ young people. 

While Disney’s pride collection clothing, for both kids and adults, comes in preparation for Pride Month, the move also comes as the company has been targeted by Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republicans. The company opposed the state’s Parental Rights in Education bill, legislation prohibiting discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms with young children. 

The groups that Disney began donating to include the Ali Forney Center, whose description reads: “The Ali Forney Center (AFC) is the largest organization working to care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning youths who have been rejected by their families and thrown out into the streets because of their identity. AFC provides housing, mental healthcare and a host of other supports to help LGBTQ youth heal from the trauma of family rejection and the harms of street homelessness.”

Several LGBTQ centers will also be funded, including those of Los Angeles, San Francisco, as well as Australian and European gays.

“At The Walt Disney Company, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to create authentic, unforgettable stories, experiences and products that capture the imagination of generations of people around the world. We are committed to doing that in a way that counts everybody in,” the site says.

Just this week, the Los Angeles Dodgers invited a full-fledged hate group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to stage an event at its upcoming “Pride Night” on June 16. Said hate group performed a blasphemous mock-up of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ using homosexuals and transgenders to recreate the scene.

It is about the most disgusting and perverse type of thing you can imagine, and this is what passes for an “American pastime” in 2023, with the full endorsement of the MLB.

“This hate group calls itself the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, but all it really is is a bunch of degenerate perverts who engage in blasphemy,” warns John Nolte, writing for Breitbart News. “Its whole reason for being is to attack and defile the Christian faith. This group of cruel gays and transvestites exists only to shove its hatred of Christianity into the face of Christians.”

“The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is nothing more or less than a vicious hate group, and Major League Baseball has extended it an invitation, has brought it under the umbrella of the MLB imprimatur, and is legitimizing and normalizing hatred of Christians.”

Like any skilled child molester, corporate America has refined the art of corrupting and destroying children with LGBT grooming and programming

Anheuser-Busch is another corporate mouthpiece for pushing Sodom and Gomorrah “values” on America with its recent Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney stunt – anything to corrupt your children by luring them into sexual perversion as early as possible.

The Walt Disney Company is much more sinister, churning out children’s cartoons and other programming that are indelibly laced with brazen wickedness and grooming tactics designed to brainwash children into joining the Cult of LGBT.

Since said cult cannot reproduce on its own, it has to recruit, which is what Disney, Anheuser-Busch, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and many other perverse institutions have made their primary focus.

“After spending decades gaining the trust of you and your children (which is what all child molesters do), Disney is now exposing your children to the ‘joys’ of being gay, a transvestite, a drag queen, or a transsexual,” Nolte says.

“Disney is openly and aggressively interfering with the normal sexual development of your children as a means to allow degenerates to exploit and abuse them. Disney is desperate to normalize exposing children to adult sexuality, to normalize the path to unhappiness, disease, suicide, and Hell.”

Target, meanwhile, is trying to recruit children into not just the Cult of LGBT but also blatant Satanism. While we have received word that Target is backtracking, at least for now, on its latest “Pride Collection” clothing offerings for children, suffice it to say that Target wants as many children to become little Baphomet posers wearing its grotesque clothing.

“We are so far beyond live and let live,” Nolte writes.

“No, what we have is some of the world’s largest and most powerful corporations … actively abusing our trust to expose and normalize hate and to target innocent children with perversions, Satan worship, innocence-shattering images, and men so evil they want to dress up as women and behave sexually in front of little boys and girls.”
