Do as they say, not as they do

Disney bases almost all stories on the evil white-male. You will rarely find a movie, especially recently, that in not based on the terrible deeds of an evil white-male.

I’m glad my kids are teens and not into disney anymore...my daughter does watch the disney channel from time to time for some of the shows but for the most part we are done with buying all crap Disney.

Disney has become such a leftist company. Walt must be spinning in his grave.

The environmental movement, for the most part, is just a political ploy designed to amass money and power.

There is nothing more upsetting to me, as a father of four (soon to be five) daughters, than the total corruption of the Disney brand.

Yes, it's true that the evil white male is a staple of Disney now, but so is the sluttish teenage girl, the valorization of vice, and many other things.

What a disgraceful comedown for a once-valued brand.

The Soviets had their Ministry of Culture.

I got mine, so everyone else should stop building, leaving my McMansion in a pristine setting.

When my children were growing up, there were two programs ( why do you think they're called 'programs' .. hmmmm ? .. ) that were on my shit-list .. anything Disney and Sesame Street.

Sesame Street is collective socialism at it's best?? and Disney is the sexual revolution for 8 - 12 year olds ... 'maturing' into Brittany STDpears.

Later on I heard about the queer days that Disney promoted.

No, thank you.

To be fair, Disney does a quite a bit of environmental mitigation for their theme parks in Florida. Vast swaths of Walt Disney World are designated as ecological reserve, and they even purchased a large tract of land to serve as the Disney Wilderness Preserve.

But the Circle of Life film at EPCOT Center is way over the top. The Land pavilion at EPCOT was originally dedicated to advances in farming technology, but with the coming of the "green" movement in the '90s, they went all enviro.

Simba shakes his head and tells them a story about another species that wanted to follow the same path of money grubbing progress

Guy takes his family to Disney World for a great vacation and then ends up blaming Disney for “the scar” that is Orlando?

Lighten’ up Francis.

I will say two good things on Disney's behalf.
1. The cast members are superbly trained at handling children found without parents. Our two year old (now 14) managed to get away from us four times in one day (twice in the same building). All four times a Disney cast member had already found her and gotten her out into an open area where one of us could easily spot her.

2. They are sticklers for accuracy. We were at Disney/MGM watching the Pocahontas show shortly after the movie was released. When the English came on stage, I leaned over to a nearby cast member and remarked, "You know that the English are carrying the wrong flag." She turned to me and asked what I meant. I explained that the red cross of St. Patrick wasn't added until 1801, about 200 years after the events in the play. When we came back the next day, they were using the correct flag. I also understand that they corrected the movie.

There was one show, however, that irritated me not a little. It was a movie billed as the “Circle of Life-an Environmental Tale”....

If that bothered you make damn sure you don’t go on gay-day wearing anything red.....

I know I’d use .44MAG or a shotgun slug for the boar, but what would a .220 Swift round do to a Meerkat’s head?
