Totally disgusting. There goes the Disney brand of “family friendly”. Frankly, I’m surprised Dwayne took a role in this film. Is he that hard up for money these days?
How would we know the family’s view on the matter?
Talk about opposites.
Here the Catholic Church is fighting against homosexuality, and there comes Disney promoting it.
Can’t figure that one out.
Well, it’s not getting a dime out of me.
Oh, double wow!
I can hardly wait.
Let me think. When was the last time I went to see a Disney Film? 1977, I think.
I guess I haven't missed much.
Producers of Disney features and cartoons have been swallowing PC pills for decades.
It's unfortunate that our little kids are subjected to this. Too many parents automatically assume that a G-rated movie from Disney must be wholesome as well as entertaining, since it came from the Imagineers at Disney.
Well, fifty years ago they were.
Such stories as Cinderella and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs wouldn't make it past the PC police these days. Neither would Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmations and Song of the South, for obvious reasons.
Sixty years ago, when Walt and Roy ran the show, Disneyland had Tom Sawyer's Island for kids to explore a fort built to defend against the Indians (i.e., native Americans) who had set fire to the settler's cabin after they'd killed the settler with an arrow through the chest.
You could ride in Indian war canoes around Tom Sawyer's Island, visit friendly Indians in an Indian Village and buy their crafts and blankets. You could also ride the riverboat Mark Twain and sip non-alcoholic mint julips.
Mark Twain and his works are no longer PC, as you know. Walt Disney chose to name his paddle-wheeler for the most noted author of the western frontier before all the fuss about his two most famous works. (But it could be given a new name, just wait and see.)
On the jungle cruise, a fake hippo would charge at the boat carrying Disneyland E-ticket holders, not once a day but once every ten minutes. And the boat's skipper dutifully pulled out a pistol and shot the hippo as it opened its mouth to attack.
In 1960, there were three shooting galleries in Disneyland, one right on Main Street. Perfectly acceptable then, not so much now.
Could such un-PC adventures even be brought up to be discussed at corporate meetings these days, with most top executives more worried about sexual harassment, boycotts, safe spaces, trigger words and white privilege than selling their product? Retail and entertainment businesses, including Disney, tend to stay within strict PC boundaries with few exceptions. Look at Target, Wal-Mart, all the TV networks, even banks. They are all in fear of groups on the left launching a boycott or worse and the consequent bad publicity that would result, courtesy of the fake news media.
Let's face it. The culture war is over, and we've lost.
Pick a battle we can win.
Open wide, folks, so more garbage can be forced down your throat...
Given that Disney and other film makers are so full of remakes. I simply don’t care that much.

Disney Kids will air.
