And while we’re at it………
A conservative preacher named Michael Clary recently
offered his best guess, and after reading it, this may be the most thoughtful, thorough, and reasonable explanation I've seen. Make sure to read the whole thing:
It's clear at this point that Disney has dug themselves a hole they can't get out of.
This interview is for the upcoming "Snow White" - but with a "modern edge." Wow. Innovative.
The young actress says…
"It's no longer 1937" (cuz we're so much better than they were!)
"She's not gonna be saved by the prince" (yeah, who needs a man to save her?)
"She's not gonna be dreaming about true love" (good! Girls hate that crap these days! This isn't 1937! Girls don't want to fall in love! Gross!)
"She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be" (that's the ticket! All girls dream about these days is leadership!)
Disney has to know this message wont sell, but they can't turn back now. They're still benefiting from the trust they'd accumulated back when they cared about their audiences and made decent films. But that time is running out.
Disney corp is be-clowning itself with this kind of propaganda. They're a joke. Their credibility with their target audience isn't any better than Bud Lite. They're a progressive propaganda machine and every family knows it.
But they can't stop doing it. Their brand identity requires them to continue creating soulless garbage to stay in the good graces of LGBTQ activists who are now running the show.
Families aren't buying it. Disney was once associated with wholesome, family entertainment.
Now? Not so much. You can't continue to undermine the core values of your target audience and expect people to keep shelling out cash for it.
What parents want to take their kids to a special day at the movies, shell out their hard earned cash to sit in a theater, getting lectured at by a self-righteous, preachy screenplay that revels in undermining the values you're trying to instill in your children?
The "Disney worldview" is one that would deprive parents of grandchildren in the future because it tells little girls that the "good life" is to be girl-bossing in some corporate boardroom, not falling in love, getting married, and building a loving family together. Yuck! That's so 1937! Patriarchy!
But since Disney has run out of new ideas, they're cannibalizing "the vault" by modernizing the old, embarrassing film classics, all but ensuring they'll erase whatever decent legacy they might otherwise have had.
You're committing suicide, Disney. Fine with me. The sooner the better. Here's one household where you won't be missed.
