Another Woke Disney Movie Bombs At Box Office As Parents Reject Indoctrination
They continue to saturate our children’s entertainment with their Leftist agenda points, but it’s heartening to see parents soundly reject the indoctrination. This summer, Disney Pixar released the children’s movie Lightyear, which intentionally excluded outspoken conservative Tim Allen and intentionally included LGBT content. It flopped impressively, barely breaking even with global earnings of $225 million, which was apparently $100 million LESS than the epic Pixar flop The Good Dinosaur, which you may have never even heard of unless you happen to have a dinosaur obsessed toddler who still refused to watch the movie more than once (that’s my situation).
But Disney apparently didn’t learn. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Disney released their newest movie, Strange World, which is their first movie with an overtly gay main character, and which is sprinkled with all manner of Leftist agenda items including climate change metaphors and identity politics. And it completely bombed at the box office, grossing just $18.6 million domestically in its first 5 days. Overall, the movie is not anticipated to even come close to breaking even and Disney is anticipating more than $100 million lost overall, with some estimating more like $140 million in losses.
Many are attributing the epic flop to Disney not adequately promoting the film. I don’t go to the movie theaters, but I certainly saw this movie advertised and wasn’t the least bit interested in it. Disney seems to have lost touch with what people actually want, especially the parents who are the paying customers, and are more focused on promoting Leftist agenda items. But money talks, and this movie isn’t making them any money, which should send a fairly clear message to Disney.

If I had Disney stock I’d be tempted to sue for its purposeful failure to make money and violating its fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. Unfortunately, there are probably some major institutional investors which are okay with Disney losing money if it has the right message.
It looks like Vanguard and Blackrock (Vanguard being the largest shareholder of Blackrock) are the largest shareholders. Both of those are the major players behind the neo-fascist ESG nonsense and “The Great Reset”.
Which is why Bob #2 is out and Bob #1 is back.
We now have a generation+ of people who went to college and were basically given a broken set of tools through which to traverse the world. They believe identity is the most important thing about them but only seem to think of that concept within the realm of voting blocs. They also think that the world is innately holding them back despite any evidence of this and that they are fighting the good fight even though everything they wish to bring into the world has some very negative effects historically.
