    Please just shut Disney down and rename it Wokeland.

    1. Michelle

      That’s exactly what I said!!! This is absolutely ridiculous. There won’t be one ride safe from all this BS. When does this madness stop?? Disney is in the path of just rewriting its whole history!!

    2. Michelle

      I do not even care about going to Disney anymore and I always loved it. They are getting ridiculous and bowing down to the few woke people who look for anything to complain about. Stand up Disney and say enough is enough or you will find no one going to your parks.

    3. idk

      oh nooo inclusivity???? how dare disney make changes so that everyone can feel at home :((((

      1. Kevin

        Inclusivity is fine. Changing existing characters that have been around for decades and these completely overreacting idiotic warnings, not so much. Now go feign indignity for groups of people you don’t belong to somewhere else.

        1. Walt

          TOUCHE! Since some people are so able to find anything to be offended about (over absolutely nothing in reality) go be offended about something else. What the idiots forget is when they “retheme” it to their taste they are making it offensive to someone else.

          1. Robert

            Yes! Your last sentence says it all!

      2. Karen

        Really, now I don’t feel at home. They are messing with all I believe to be Disney.

      3. Ashley G

        If you don’t like it, go look at, ride, read, etc something else.

  2. Dina

    This has GOT to be a joke…absolutely utterly ridiculous and absurd…🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

    People who are so offended by every little thing need to just get over it. So tired of all of this ridiculousness. They obviously have to much time on their hands. Do something that has real value and grow up.

      Are real people really offended? who are they? where are they?

      I think not, this is just the Cancel Culture gone mad – Ridiculous.

      1. Jay

        Cancel culture went mad in the 1690s when people lost their lives because a bunch of teenage girls didn’t like someone. Cancel culture went mad in the 1970s and 80s when people went to jail and had their lives ruined because something was a little too spicy for conservatives. This is literally fictional characters and let’s not forget that modern cancel culture was created by Christian mamas. Y’all are just mad that someone’s better at the game than you are

        1. Paul OB

          What a pleb you truly are!!! No person has any right not to be offended. Anybody can claim offence, but reality is that we all have and will be offended over something but those of us with some morals and dignity just get on with our life. It’s not about taking offence, it’s about control. The snowflakes are so pathetically weak, that they just want a taste of some kind of control!!!

      2. Stella

        Agree. The cancel culture people are just trying to cancel Disney. They don’t have any work to do so they want to destroy what has been and change history. Changing history is what they are doing. I miss the old Disney. Leave these old characters who they are and how they were written.

  4. Eric

    Here’s an email deal. If you might be so easily offended by an old cartoon, maybe you just shouldn’t watch in the first place. These Woke morons need to stop ruining life for everyone else, I highly doubt anyone who has a disability would find captain hook offensive. If anything he shows how far you can go in life despite having a disability.

  5. AnonymousGuy14641

    Okay, no… I love how they often call us the offended ones just because a few people didn’t like Big Bird getting “vaccinated” despite the fact he’s a puppet or Minnie Mouse’s redesign despite the fact it’s temporary. The stuff they’re pulling off are permanent “No Fun Allowed!” signs.

  6. Emily

    I think everyone just needs to chill as someone with a disability I think everyone is too easily offended over everything now I have been banned from a couple Disney groups to to apparent cultural appropriation which I had no idea at the time what it was

    1. AnonymousGuy14641

      I have autism and if Disney is going to call Goofy or Tow Mater “offensive to autistic people”, I will go Super Saiyan on the Mouse House LOL.

  7. Susan

    People just a get upset at the littlest things nowadays. I was taught if you don’t like it don’t watch it to eat it. These woke people need to lay off and go back to Disney needs to quit pleasing one little group of people and making the rest of the people upset.

  8. EricJ

    That’s so ridiculously looking for scandal, it has to be the Paris park–

    Hook isn’t a villain because he lost a hand, he’s a villain because he wants revenge on Peter for CAUSING it.
    (And then there’s that little matter that the fight in question wouldn’t have happened if Hook hadn’t been a pirate captain to begin with…)

    1. Anonymous

      Well that was not true. In many other versions of Traditional Peter Pan stories, Hook has been a villainous pirate, even before Peter cut off his hand. We seen it in other films.

  9. Kevin

    I love how of all the Disney villains they’re going after, they pick the one with the “disability” XD. He tries to murder children, literally sends Peter Pan a bomb, and they go after him because he doesn’t have a left hand. Almost seems like Disney is discriminating against him.

    And Tink likes her figure, so they go after her for that? Attempting to have Wendy murdered and leading the pirates to Peter’s hideout is okay by them. She confident, self reliant, and they get body conscious from that?

  10. Renee Banks

    Captain Hook lost his hand to a Crocodile and still continued being a pirate, and Viewing Ursula through a “racial lens”? Wtf?! She’s a fictitious character with fictitious colors, no one has 8 BLACK legs! And she’s Lavender! They’re mad because she was inspired by Devine! To quote another Disney movie that hasn’t been washed —yet—-Let it go!

    1. Marrnie

      Enough is egough people get a life. Theses are all cartoons not real life. STOP spoiling Disney . Learn to laugh ,enjoy life and be Happy. The world is mad enough with out all this C**p.

      1. Ann

        Amen!!

    2. DisneyFan

      This made me LOL. So true.

  11. Thomas

    If anything we need MORE villains in the classic style, we need genuine antagonists in Disney movies, that’s the one thing that movies like ‘Encanto’ have been missing, we all knew Bruno would be a nice guy actually (Spoiler if you haven’t seen it). Captain Hook is from a story over 100 years old, and for which the royalties go to Great Ormond Street Hospital to help treat severely sick children…can we focus on that rather than worrying someone might be offended by an evil pirate with one hand? And Tinkerbell…the Disney version was created at a time when Marilyn Monroe, Mae West and all the other classic Hollywood actresses were at their height because they embraced their bodies and sexuality. I could literally name ANY Disney character from Mickey Mouse right up to the Mirabel in Encanto (I haven’t seen Turning Red yet) and find something offensive about every single one. Kids aren’t daft, they know who’s a bad guy, who’s a good guy, and the difference between someone they see in a movie and what they see in real life…it’s adults who press these woke ideas and funnily, it’s adults that should grow up or at least grow a pair.

    1. Jan

      Well said, Thomas! All this wokeness is getting out of hand.

    2. Richmouse

      Don’t bother seeing “Turning Red”. Worse Disney movie EVER

  12. Arthur

    ENOUGH is ENOUGH!! If all you little babies get offended just don’t watch it.
    Disney stay out of politics. Worry about your parks and how you can keep the prices down.

    1. Ann

      This!!

      1. The fact that cartoon character are problematic is a joke. People like to look for for problems when there arent any. Dont watch the movie.😊

  13. j

    This is kinda pushing it. There are Disney characters and stories that are actually problematic and I don’t think Tinkerbell is one of them, let’s focus on getting rid of character portrayals that are actually offensive, like the natives in Peter Pan.
    Let’s also note the term “potentially”. It was never said that they are actually problematic, but that they could be percieved as such by certain people.

    1. Kevin

      Or maybe, just maybe, people that are actually “offended” by what THEY perceive as problematic characters and stories DON”T WATCH THE MOVIES they are in and don’t try to continuously ruin things for the people who don’t think the exact way they do. In other words, they should be an adult and take responsibility for their own feelings.

      1. DisneyFan

        THIS. Don’t like it, don’t watch it. Common sense, which seems to be lacking as of late.

  14. Marielle

    So apparently, you can’t have a character that is in love with another character. So I guess Cinderella is going to be next. She can’t be in love with the prince and want his attention. Disney needs to wake up from its woke stage and see they are going to ruin the most magical place on earth for everyone!!!!

    1. Kevin

      Characters can be in love with each other in Disney films now. They just have to be bi or gay.

  15. Sharon

    Are you kidding me??? These are simply stories, no ill intention was meant when any of this was made, no ill intent is meant now. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Tink’s jealous and that makes her problematic, well then, you might as well cancel the entire world because at one point or another in everyone’s lives they have been envious of something or somebody, because that is a normal emotion! This world truly has gone crazy and I am so sad for future generations.

  16. Kevin

    Oh. My. God. This is absolutely ridiculous! They are projecting character traits onto characters created DECADES ago where none such traits ever existed (and the characters creators are no longer around to counter)! Tinkerbell is “body conscious:?! Ursula is too “dark” and might be seen through a “racial lens”?! Gimme a break already! This is pathetic. When in this stupidity ever going to end?

  17. Peggy

    Really I grew up on all these movies and I am a normal grownup these people that are trying change everything need to get a life it’s utterly ridiculous

  18. DB

    I guess Disney forgot that Tinker Bell is one of their hot selling characters (oops, maybe ‘hot’ is the wrong word here)!
    As for Hook & Ursella, I believe Hook, If very offensive would have been brought to light years & years ago, while Ursella has never seen the sun and is representing a dark SOUL.

    1. Bruce

      I guess tinker bell can’t fly off the castle during the fireworks anymore because of these wimps.

  19. Danielle Williams

    Omg please stop all this ridiculous talk… It’s a freaking story, stop pushing agendas on it.. I’m so sick of these ridiculous ideas..

  20. M

    Disney is overrun by crazy woke activist’s. Fire these nut jobs. Shareholders need to step in. Enough of this crap. #SaveSplashMountain

  21. Mickeymouse3

    Disney is far from “inclusive”. If that were the case, they would have included the alphabet gang earlier. Now they are “woke” and not including the guests who aren’t part of the alphabet gang. They continue to discriminate as the wind blows and the tides change.

  22. Richmouse

    This “offensive” CRAP has got to stop. They’re offended by a child’s fantasy? Leave the Disney rides alone! This world has worse things to think of than being offended by the characters in these rides.
    They AREN’T racist. They DON’T mean any harm. The stories have been LOVED for decades. Then all of a sudden someone gets offended? Shut the heck up! I’m offended by those who get offended by these fantasies. Go see a psychologist. In all my years going to a Disney park, I have never seen nor heard anyone being offended by a ride. Suck it up buttercups.

  23. Karen

    I grew up with tinkle bell and Captain Hook and all the rest. I am 72 years old and I think people are taking this stuff to far. It did not harm my generation or my kids generation and my grandkids and great grandkids loves everything about Disney. We take them to Disney at least 1a month. My 3 years old absolutely loves tinkle bell. Has everything tinkle bell and will not go anywhere unless she is in one of her tinkle bell dresses and carry’s her tinkle bell doll everything and sleeps with lt. why do you wAnt to bust these kids bubbles. You shouted ashame of your selfs.

  24. Lisa Rose

    Who is offended by Tinker Bell and why?

  25. Linda Ruffini

    I agree. Stop the nonsense already. If Ursula is a problem, give her a blue tint from living in that says the character are not actual peop[le. If a white person is a villain, then are white people offended? Better for children to learn that bad people come in all shapes, sizes and colors. So do good people. It depends on a person’s actions

  26. Chris

    Please stop looking through a politically correct lens at everything. Please stop being offended by every little thing. No offense was meant in an Disney film so just leave them alone.

  27. DisneyFan

    This is getting more and more absurd. Whoever is making these accusations regarding the characters should be fired. They are literally just looking to cause trouble. Now Ursula is a racist stereotype? Get a freaking life!! Just close everything down, at this point they’re making a mockery of Walt’s visions.

  28. Is Disney now completely run by idiots? So a person with a disability can’t be a villain and a person with body image issues or who is jealous can’t be depicted? This is insane and has to stop.

  29. Disney Dreaming

    The “people pleasers” in the Disney organization need to listen to the song, Garden Party, by Ricky Nelson and listen to the lyrics especially “you can’t please everyone so, you got to please yourself”. Also, I’d suggest reading Aesop’s Fable entitled: The Man, The Boy, and The Donkey. I said to my wife months ago that everyone can find something objectionable to almost anything today. This goes for the Disney Rides and Attractions the world over. I pointed some of the possible pitfalls that are now being considered while we rode on Peter Pan at WDW. Same with Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion for starters. What it must look like to someone on the Mine Train attraction as the ride slows at the house where a woman is living with 7 “little men”. Oh, the scandal. Young girls coming to Disney want to be seen as princesses if only for the time they are in this make-believe world. Young boys want to be pirates, frontiersmen, space cadets, or jedis in training. People need to differentiate between perception and the world that is being shown in a make-believe world that is Disney. As one of the characters in a Disney film put it so well – LET IT GO!!!

  30. Bruce

    No one has brought this up in 50 years. Now all of a sudden they are examining everything. I have never thought that of any character. People that don’t like it probably don’t go. I will not be going again. I was a frequent visitor but I have better things to do with my money.

  31. Kenisha

    My comment…people need to grow up. Because there are things in this world that just are like they are. Deal with it.

  32. B

    What a crock!!!! Tinkerbell is 68 years old. If you don’t like the movie, donwatch it!

  33. Justin Priest

    Why can’t people just enjoy a kids movie without picking at tiny little things in the movie. Aren’t movies meant to take people and kids to another place and to entertain us? Can the woke just shut their annoying mouths and enjoy the show. It is because of them, regular people can’t enjoy things anymore.

  34. Becky

    I got get over it. These are great movies made by some very creative people with great imaginations. People need to get over stereotypes and racism. This is not what this is about. Tinker bell is a fairy. Fairies are mischievous. Hook is a pirate and Ursula is a sea witch like an octopus. Come on people stop reading more into it than what it is. Just get a bowl of popcorn sit back and enjoy the movie. Enjoy the creativity and imagination that makes you laugh and cry and your heart warm.

  35. Enough of the Adults canceling Childhood. Please let Parents do their own “parenting”, if they don’t want their kids to see it that’s up to them, I wanna be able to watch this with my Nephew and have a great adventure. Disney needs to stop this form of Censorship.
    Here’s an idea have all the original animated Disney movies run in theateres and let families make up their own minds, I was very lucky. I saw all but Fantasia in a movie theater in the early/mid 70’s( early shows on Sat) and still to this day watching these Classics isn’t the same as on a Big Screen w/butter popcorn, drink and milk duds to boot.Bring back Childhoood.

  36. SP

    Woke Disney needs to go back to sleep!!! Stop messing with the classics because a few are butt hurt over any little thing. Cancel culture just sux.

  37. Haha

    “The sky being blue offends me”😂

  38. Tina Mora

    Disney is a ridiculous circus of leftist nuts.

  39. Damien

    They make all these changes to coddle the feelings of the mentally ill that complain the loudest.
