Until Disney decides to return to someone that embraces the family values that Walt Disney himself embraced, I don’t care who they place to helm this riderless ship. The importance to pander to the smallest minorities will continue to contribute to their erosion.
You can’t redefine families – words mean things. Just like marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Sorry its not hate its not discrimination -its human history since the dawn of mankind whether you believe it was in the garden or in a simmering pool of organic slime.
Very true. Time to bring back the word “pervert” Sodomites, trans are perverts. God loves everyone, but you have to repent. God decides what a family is.
The comments here. I am impressed by the lack of understanding of the very religious texts that serve as the foundation of your Judeo-Christianity if this is what you believe. With the basic truth that the New Testament served as a new covenant, thus supplanting the Old Testament, with Jesus as its cup bearer, I would challenge you to find one place where Jesus, not St Paul the Bigot, said any of what you are saying. Also, re-read Genesis, if you want to stand by the Old Testament revisionistic reading instead – God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for wickedness -for committing sin, not for Sodomy (Sodom was simply one of the city’s names). What they did was sin against their fellow man, as noted in Ezekiel. You might try to be “smart” and bring up Leviticus – if that is the case, I trust you don’t watch football or have ever played football (touch skin of an animal), eat any fat, eat any meat that is not cooked to hockey puck consistency, neglected to wash your hair one day, torn clothing, had any sort of alcohol in church, eaten any animal that doesn’t both chew cud and has a divided hoof, have a image of Jesus in your home or revered any such image, etc., etc. You should realize from reading the Bible or going to church, of course, that ALL sins are the same in the eyes of the Lord – please cast that first stone. Remember, as well, that Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” These comments you are making seem to indicate you don’t care much for the actual words of the Lord.
Your completely wrong. The First Commandment is “You must not have any other god but me.”
Deuteronomy 5:7 NLT
And the second one is “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind, or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.”
Deuteronomy 5:8-10 NLT
How about you read the Bible and tell me that I’m wrong. I’ll be waiting

Words only have meaning because humans decided they do. And some of those meanings have been added to or changed. So to your point, yes we can in fact change what words mean and pretty easily in fact. People are just scared of change and anything they don’t understand.
The woke values don’t speak for the main stream families! Mr. Disney wanted his parks to be created for all families not just the woke ones! And Adam Silver is all about China and how he can increase their profits in the NBA not increasing the profits in the USA!
There is no requirement to like “all families,” never has been and never will be in America. Don’t like it? Too bad. Freedom. Nobody has to be nice to anyone and accept everyone. You are free to be who you are, and the same goes for anyone else. Somehow we’ve all managed to warp acceptance with hate. It’s disgusting for you to have insulted them without cause.
You do realize “White People” are the minority in several areas of the country and continue to have fewer children? When my kids were born, we were classified as “small” because we only has 2 kids on an average of 2.3. Now the average Caucasian family has 1.78 kids. Disney better change with demographics cause we are not going to be the “majority” much longer.
As a minority who grew up in the projects of the south bronx and part of the large minority i don’t want that crap either. My child can make up their own mind when older and ill love them for it but will not tolerate them being sexualized as a child. As do most of my people. I already know personally of two confused kids with issues who were never tráns or gay but felt that it was an easy way to get accepted and was pushed. Kids are too young and malleable to make life altering decisions especially without my input.
Well is Adam Silver anything like Walt. Will he go back in the direction Disney used to be before this whole mess started part of it when Iger was CEO before. Right now Disney is being turned into something different that is not what Walt envisioned and it needs to go back to it. I know Disney has to make a profit but it could be less great to where families can afford to go without going deep in debt and without jumping through all the hoops they have to do now. So the big question is will Mr. Silver see & do this!
Absolutely. The small minority that they are catering to don’t care about Disney, they never did and don’t take their kids to theme parks or watch Star Wars content. Disney has gone out of their way to alienate fans who in the past have been willing to spend their hard earned money on Disney. Not a good business model.
Shame on you Iger. Walt must be turning over in his grave. You have ruined his dream by changing the ideals of this man. There was no color difference only the smiles and laughter of children. Stop being influenced by the 1% and remember Walt’s dream. You have changed the entire dynamics of this once wonderful place. We were vacation club members but I won’t step inside these parks with all the things being changed. Really, a black Tinkerbell? Shame, shame on you
They change lady in the tramp putting white and black couples together.They did not have back in those days
I love Lady in the
Tramp my favorite but I would not buy a new version. I have all of the lady in tramp ornaments movies but not that 1.. Why are there catering to the woke And not the family. Walt Disney Was about family?
Shame on you, Gilson. Rotisserie Walt won’t care about the timeshare you sold, those didn’t even exist while he was alive. Walt not only didn’t share your white identity politics, he had a long history of trying to be a good steward of the stories and communities his work was built on, and of getting it wrong, plenty too. For example. he actually hired Maurice Rapf to ‘woke’ what I presume to be one of your favorite films. Shame, shame on you!
This is the same know nothing that convinced Iger to build the NBA Experience at Disney Springs after it failed miserably at Universal. Well, shockingly, it’s failed miserably at Springs also.
Read about the relationship the NBA has with the Chinese government that has blossomed under his leadership. How he has tuned blind eye on the enslavement of the Uyghurs. If this is true, Disney will be even more of a pariah.
You mean the Walt Disney that’s an Anti Semite? But you are worried about a black tinkerbell? Not sure what is more pathetic. The fact that you can only identify with someone if they are white. Or that you want to protect an anti semite. You said there is no color only laughter. Then why does it matter if Tinkerbell is black. I thought color doesn’t matter? Anyone that thinks we need to “protect” the legacy of Walt Disney should understand they are protecting an anti Semite. The problem with this country is not Disney, it’s people like you.
No. Walt was not an anti semite. That is a myth and and urban legend and I have used my authority as a military man to arrest people for spreading lies about Walt.
Who is this one percent you speak of? Blacks alone run about 13%. And that’s the tip of the iceberg. Not sure that hard core white supremicists run higher. Jason and Tom make some really good points so I won’t repeat them.
Don’t like the idea of a sports commissioner running Disney! Unless he has some Disney background I’m unaware of. How could he be the right choice for the entertainment–TV, movie-divisions? That’s an industry unto itself, as are the parks. I hope they’re just floating the idea to see if he gets support. Anyone but Christine.
Great another multi multi out of touch millionaire who knows nothing of creativity and Disney. This will work out well. One woke destructive CEO replacing himself with yet another. This is exactly the direction Disney needs.
Unfortunately because of the moves made by Florida and the political state I won’t be going to Disney. This whole debacle has turned me off from Disney. DeSantis using Disney in his political games, people turning Disney into some sort of poster company for alt right wing agenda, what it has shown is that in this country people have to fit a mold, and if you don’t you’re not welcome. It’s the most unAmerican of ideals I can think of. Punishing companies for speaking out is ridiculous, and shows me we are going nowhere good. So, Disney, Florida, all of it, are off the table for my family.
Even though he is outside the Disney family I think he would be a great choice. He understands how to navigate a growing international business where the 2 largest markets are US and China. Also understands how diversity and inclusiveness can both positively and negatively impact the company. In the NBA while most of the players and fans are minorities the primary source of revenue is from from the wealthily white guys.
Excuse me? Jew? Nice, we see what color your sheets are..you people and your “Christian family values”, I hope you know your Jesus was a member of the tribe and would be celebrating Purim right now..I’m a Jew and I can still see how vilified we still are…but it’s ok if we are your doctor or lawyer, right? I hope with every fiber of my being that Disney pulls out of Florida…you are absolutely disgusting, with your dislike for someone’s religion and race. I pity you as a human and your family even more so…
What?! Iger hasn’t even gotten started yet. He needs another 2 years at least to get things back to how they were when Chapek rigged his way to the CEO spot. This is very disappointing news. Why someone from the NBA?? I hope that this rumor is false.
The 1% Disney caters too is not the one you portray in your posts but to the ones that have $$. To think otherwise is a farce. Walt’s dream is just an illusion that is waived about for brand recognition. The only thing Disney cares about is their shareholders. The day Disney sold public shares of the company is the day Walt’s dream started dying a slow death. So please save us sometime about your family values, and other nonsense. It’s about then share holder equity.
None of you have been to disneyworld lately is my guess. I’ve been there twice in two years. They aren’t pandering to anyone. You see some merch with rainbow themes and that’s about it. Why on Earth do any of you care they are trying to make “the smallest of minorities” feel like theyre accepted? Think about how Jesus would have responded! ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me. ‘” (Matthew 25:40)
I dream of the day that whites time the world again and the minorities are returned to their natural stare. It’s been shown over and over, especially at Disney and other parks that many minorities are not well trained and can’t relate to normal people. I dream of a return to the 50s where our lily white ancestors ran the world and the streets were safe.
Unbelievable Americans carrying on about family definitions when the point of the article was what again? 🤣🤣🤣
Just take it back to ’50s and make it cheaper for overseas travellers
Comments for Reportedly Replaced, Bob Iger to Address Disney’s Future
Wade Black
Until Disney decides to return to someone that embraces the family values that Walt Disney himself embraced, I don’t care who they place to helm this riderless ship. The importance to pander to the smallest minorities will continue to contribute to their erosion.
Zack
100%! Stop catering to the extremely loud and delusional 1%.
Adam
It’s more about embracing quality over quantity. Making content for kids and adults. Just generally caring about what fans want and like.
bob
They are embracing family values. You just don’t like all families.
Walt
You can’t redefine families – words mean things. Just like marriage. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Sorry its not hate its not discrimination -its human history since the dawn of mankind whether you believe it was in the garden or in a simmering pool of organic slime.
Robert
Slavery and misogyny is part of history too, do you want to go back to that also?
Belle
Your narrow definition of “family/marriage” is not applicable for ALL of human history. Move on. Disney does not need or miss your dollhairs.
ed
Very true. Time to bring back the word “pervert” Sodomites, trans are perverts. God loves everyone, but you have to repent. God decides what a family is.
