I feel like I oughta dump a “Wave g’night, Mouse” in here somewhere. It looks like their juvenile “how to vote” in the proxy war cartoon appeal to the lowest common cult member worked. Disney shareholders fell for the poison apple, hook, line, and stinker. It’s official: Disney shareholders shot down activist investor Nelson Peltz‘s […]
Back in February, fans of the classic 1990s cartoon “X-Men: The Animated Series” were not too pleased with Disney’s decision to change it. The company chose to revive the series this year, but with one alteration — one of the show’s male superheroes was turned into a “nonbinary” character. Well, according to a recent interview, […]
One of the worst-kept secrets in the entertainment industry is that the once infallible Walt Disney Company is in genuinely dire straits, on a number of fronts.

So who won the Reedy Creek War? We can expect all sides to remain cagey about the details while declaring wins, but only one side truly needed this to get set aside in the short run. And that side doesn’t work in Jacksonville. The Associated Press calls this a “settlement” between Disney and Gov. Ron […]
Between animated box-office flops, superhero duds and a streaming service that’s hemorrhaging members, Disney is losing money like a drunken poker player — except, instead of alcohol, the House of Mouse seems to be gulping down wokeness.
