The Disney you knew is gone

By Mike Huckabee

I grew up faithfully watching the Mickey Mouse Club on our black & white TV and singing along with the opening and closing songs. I knew all the Mouseketeers by name and probably had a crush on the girl Mouseketeers like Annette Funicello. On Sunday nights my family watched Disney’s Wonderful World of Color, although I never saw it in color. Color TV wouldn’t be something my family had until I was in high school. There wasn’t a Disney World in Florida back then—just a Disneyland in California, and I dreamed that someday I’d get to go there. The Disney brand was magic and Walt Disney was like everyone’s favorite uncle who was rich and had all the cool stuff. The Disney movies were dependably wholesome, family-friendly, and had a moral lesson embedded in the plot. Parents knew that their kids could see a Disney film and be entertained without being embarrassed or indoctrinated.

Just a few years back, we took our entire family to Disney World. Sure, it was mostly about taking the grandkids there and making sure they were indulged to the hilt.

But the wonderful family-friendly company that Walt Disney founded is gone, replaced by creepy corporate executives who have lost their minds and will likely lose a lot of their customers. They certainly have lost me.

Disney executives have outright lied about the Florida legislation that prohibits government schools from teaching sexual content to pre-schoolers and young elementary children. What person in his or her right mind want 4 year old children to be taught about homosexuality, transgenderism, and sexual expression? Disney execs repeated the utterly debunked lie that the bill was a “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Such language was nowhere in the bill. But it gets worse. In a conference call, other Disney leaders expressed the goal that in future Disney movies, at least half of all the characters in a film with be gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, queer, or something other than heterosexual.

And theme parks will be forbidden to say “hello boys and girls” and instead will be required to say “welcome dreamers and friends.” And no more will little girls be called princess when they show up in a gown. I guess boys could be a princess under the new perverted Disney code. Who knows?

This is so outrageous it’s hard to believe that the Disney company has become such a purveyor of soft-porn and woke-ism so that instead of entertaining children with fantasy and magic, Disney’s new model is sexual fantasy, outright betrayal and rejection of traditional values of marriage and gender, and instead of moral neutrality, Disney has opted for immoral advocacy.

Will their remake of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs be called The Nymphomaniac and the 7 Male Prostitutes? Will Lady and the Tramp be re-named “The Lesbian and the Housing Challenged Non-gendered Animal?” Will Beauty and the Beast be renamed “The Bi-Sexual and the Child Predator?” And Swiss Family Robinson will now be about a dysfunctional family that becomes homeless and lives in a local park after wrecking their VW hippie van.

I simply refuse to believe that this dishonesty and insanity from Disney represents what American parents and grandparents want to purchase for their children. But the only way to push back against this filth is to find other products and places when you purchase entertainment for your family.

This is no longer about party politics. A clear majority of Florida Democrats support the law prohibiting schools from indoctrinating 4 and 5 year old children about various sexual agendas that are probably NOT the agendas of parents. I guess the small number of people supporting the perverted version of a public school will next want to trade in yellow school buses for white, windowless utility vans typically called “kidnapper vans” since that is pretty much the direction Disney is taking with your children.

I am old enough to remember when parents would say, “Sure, you can watch that movie. It’s a Disney movie so it will be safe.” Not anymore! This ain’t kid’s stuff. And I for one don’t want to enrich the people that have destroyed the Magic Kingdom and turned it into the Perverted Palace. Mickey shouldn’t be the face of Disney anymore. The Disney character most representative of the company would be GOOFY!

    I agree 100%, with one exception. Why not say "don't say gay, say homosexual". Why have most become indoctrinated with politically correct speak? Is it not completely ludicrous to believe , changing the definition of a word is changing the meaning? NO IT'S NOT, this is and was their plan all along. They hijacked GOD'S Rainbow and perverted it to stand for an abomination. They pushed homosexual equality, perverting it's meaning by comparing it to slavery and the Holocaust. And now their demonic pervertions are focused on the children, that regardless of how well you teach them the Truth of GOD'S WORD, unfortunately many of them fall in the name of inclusion, tolerance and love. What will you tell Jesus when he asks you, why did you mask his WORD in politically correct lies? IN GOD WE TRUST!

    I so agree with this article on Disney. Kids need role models and Disney has no more role models for kids to follow. Disney is disgusting.

    Mike, America is under siege, and the warfare is mental. Disney executives are as insane as the politicians in DC who support them. Americans, left and right, need to see that this intended sea-change is real and is an enemy of We the People.

    You are so right. It is a shame how they are targeting the children.

    This article is SICKENING. What is wrong with growing up and acknowledging the LBGTQ+ community? NOTHING. ZERO. ZILCH. NADA. If this kind of affirmative action is offensive to you, then you are no friend of humanity.
    Disney movies have ALMOST ALWAYS been diverse- with a multitude of ethnicities, religions, etc. Remember Mulan? Where a GIRL dresses up as a BOY?! <GASP!> how salacious and lewd! NOBODY CARED! It was and remains a great movie. GET OVER YOURSELVES, KAREN AND KEN! It’s NEVER all about you!

    I agree 100%
    I say never again will our family return to Mickey's World, what a shame and lost for children all over the World, no four- and five-year-old children ever need to see Mickey Mouse and his friends undressing or changing clothes or teaching children touching each other in the private part's is fun. It's Wrong.

    What happened to teaching reading, writing and math? Our graduating students are the lowest ranked in the world. Leave sexual education to the parents and teach the basics.

    We must be around the same age because I too remember the Disney you described. Just the other day I mentioned to my wife that poor Walt must be turning in his grave over what his company has become. I never thought I'd ever see the day that Disney would represent wokism and all that hogwash that liberals spout now.
    Wish there was some way to change it,but the only thing I can think of is to not patronize their products,however that would take years to work,if it even worked at all.I wish I had the money to buy a majority share of stock and implement corporate change from within,ala Elon Musk.
    Do you have any ideas?
    If not,I guess I'll just have to accept the situation as is and rely on pleasant memories of my more innocent days.
