Wake up, and get broke.
It is likely that Disney’s higher-ups heard the phrase somewhere. They probably read it from Twitter users who were tweeting at them. While it was meant to be a warning for potential viewers, and their fans, it was most likely laughed at. Disney was just too large to feel any pain from political activism. It’s Disney, after all.
Disney stock dropped nearly 50% in the space of a year. Their politically-influenced productions are continuing to alienate audiences and provoke angry reactions from fans.
Disney might be surprised but fans aren’t. Fans have shrugged off their mishandlings of Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar brands. YouTube videos have been created that show the failures of many YouTube channels. Although each video may come up with its own conclusions about how they got there, everyone agrees that story writing is in serious trouble.
It has, but those paying attention will know that the reason the stories have suffered is that leftist politics has infected everyone from Disney’s brass to their writing staff.
As RedState previously reported, the new “Lightyear” film has bombed in no small part thanks to the addition of a lesbian kiss. It was only made worse when the film’s lead voice actor, Chris Evans, called those who were critical of it “idiots.”

Bounding Into Comics says that Disney+’s new Ms. Marvel program has had the lowest viewing figures of any streaming service. A total of 775,000 households tuned in to watch the new Marvel outing in its first five days, but that’s dangerously low compared to other shows such as Moon Knight (1.8 million), Hawkeye (1.5 million), Loki (2.5 million), and WandaVision (1.6 million).
This isn’t to mention the flops that were the live-action “Mulan” and “Eternals” movies, the former of which was greeted with mass controversy since it literally thanks the organization tied to a concentration camp for Uyghur Muslims. Although fan reactions have varied to Kenobi, many fans (including my own) find it an insulting to their beloved characters.

This isn’t even mentioning that Disney/Star Wars led a campaign to call its own fans racist before the release of Kenobi.
Disney has done what it could to drive away its audience in order to embrace a political message that the majority of America isn’t buying.
To be sure, there are other factors that contribute to Disney’s falling stock. It likely doesn’t help that we’re in a recession, but that’s made more people choosy with their money, not unwilling to spend it. “Top Gun” had audiences raving while “Jurassic Park: Dominion” beat “Lightyear” in terms of box office dollars on its second week in the theaters.
Disney is losing people’s trust and Disney can only be blamed for failing to heed the warnings of its customers.
