Disney would have to do a ton of damage control to get me to watch again. Content is unappealing. Just uninterested. Would enjoy the park but it's such a mad house, Why not build more?

Dude, it’s too woke, wake up

Go woke go broke. Hope it dies

When you put Minnie in pantsuits. Yeah, ok.

It is too woke, I would love kids and adults to enjoy the culture and vision Disney was founded .A magical experience for all . Not is Mikey really Mini mouse . Add innovation but never discard tradition

To late Disney is woke

Disney ceo is a baffoon. Fixed it

How those shitty movies doing again?

Disney is too woke. I won’t buy anything with Disney logo on it anymore. Won’t wear my Mickey Mouse tee shirts now. I have so many Disney watches also. Disney is not what Walt Disney started or intended.

Can't get any more woker than Disney, that's why our families are going to Universal.

Buy nothing from Disney!

They are too woke and they live in a bubble. Cancelled Disney+

Methinks he doth protest too much

Boycott! Stop the flow of money to Disney.

Perversion over children is the Disney way now...

can’t wait to see a trans-princess in next Disney film

Disney has lost its binaural compass.

Hit back all you want Disney. How about explaining why you totally LIED about Florida’s bill to stop insane gender crazies?

It’s too woke and the parks have lost their “Magic”

CLEAN IT UP DISNEY

Too woke and perverted. Walt Disney would be sick. People should be boycotting Disney.

To late Disney , your to woke for Americas children.

Boycott. Stopping the money flow is all these people will respond to. Go Woke - Go Broke.

Yes, content to reflect the 'rich-' viewers, but Fox would prefer to leave off the 'diverse', please.

TruthHurts

As a Navy Baby , born in Norfolk VA. Koon Skin Caps, Davey Crocket, The Alamo, Donald Duck, Micky Mouse, Mini Mouse , Dumbo , 'It's A SMALL SMALL WORLD, The MONO- RAIL, all showed values for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Family Values, that is what Disney was about

Disney? What’s a Disney?

AM NOT, ARE TOO. AM NOT. ARE TOO.

Why doesn’t he embrace being woke? I thought that was a positive thing.

As they kill their biggest IPs like Star Wars and the MCU lol

Spinning much?

Disney is overpriced woke garbage.

Suddenly no one wants to be called ‘woke’ anymore ? RedWave2022

Fire this fool

You can run but you can’t lie lol

And we are having fun

Our family no longer have Disney at any of our homes. Enough is enough.

The truth hurts. GoWokeGoBroke

Disney is too woke? You don't say...🤣🤣

They live in a bubble

🙄

Pedo Disney can't hit back. Child traffickers by the hundreds employed there.

Break Disney aprat.

Who wrote this? Lol. That’s terrible.

Bought 1 share just so I could vote against everything he and the board want.

Go back to the Disney of the 90s. The glory days of Disney. Just because a party stretches the spectrum by moving too far left, does not mean you have to get dragged along with it. Less “wokeness” and more back to the American/Disney values that made Disney successful.

Disney don't care

Abandon woke or go broke. This also applies to overrated/overpriced theme parks.

We'll be the judges of that. You know what they say about the customer? I think all these CEO forgot.

Don’t you just love it when multiple cults fight each other.

Disney has always been a slimey organization, when reports of any sexual assault surface, Disney cruise lines quickly remove the victim and the suspect from the area before Law Enforcement arrive. Never had much use for Disney.

Stay woke go broke ask netflix .

We canceled them..to much slomo ishh going on in the cartoons and movies.

Proverbs 9:6 ( Simply as pertains to supporting companies or products ) Forsake the ( intentional - impure, reprobate or rebel against God ) forsake the ' foolish ' (reprobate) and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Disney ‘woke’ up and so ends the fairy tale dream. I have no interest in watching content that is shoving any agenda in my face. byebob ✌🏻

He's just trying to cover his butt. We all know he's part of the reason for Disney being Woke

It is too WOKE!!

It is.

No ones gonna watch a man dressed as Cinderella.

Who the f is wasting air and alive time on being ultra woke anyway. They got medical experiments walking around or what.

I will never go back to that special woke place in Florida they are a rip off and a scam and is so woke that a child will be very confused after the visit that they will need some form of mental help after the visit.

. Disney grooms kids. .

Your stock value says it all

He knows disney’s ads are leaving twitter soon!

Keep pushing. They are hearing, but they will listen if we keep the pressure up.

Disney is trash.

Stock is down 120% From 18 months ago.

Naaahhhhhhhh...... 🤪

LGBTQ+ material included in movies targeted at children including that contained in DC League of Super-Pets should be banned or at worst require a warning before watching or higher minimum age rating.

Wake up CEO!

Walt Disney would sack his ass so fast he wouldn't know what hit him!!...GO WOKE....GO BROKE!!...screw Disneyland and all the WOKE employers!!👎😡

Disney is done, bye ✌️

The direction of Disney is a joke. Get back to doing what you do best, entertainment without jamming woke down our throats

Walt Disney would fire every woke ass snowflake in the company

I had to quit watching ABC shows , forcing things into the shows that I don’t care to see

You’ve ruined it.

Disney should be ashamed

Disney, what a mess. Another crappy woke company. Their theme parks are a crowded nightmare too. Have a nice day.

Pedo central

POS feeling America striking back at Disney perversions aimed at our children !! Keep up the pressure and make this child molester step down !

It is about time that one of these Hollywood moguls pulls the trigger on a penilectomy to prove their bonafide street cred.

WAAAAY TOOOOOO WOKE!

You'll find out , you evil groomers

Disney you're the world's largest GROOMERS! Let's count the arrest of your parks employees shall we.

Maybe the old (I’m in my 70s) Fox audience is, well, OLD & out of touch. As a DIS shareholder, I want them to stay in touch with their audience because that’s the way they (and me) make $. A lot of this is just DeSantis noise to promote his ambition and has 0 to do with business.

Don't care. they don't get a cent from me. Too woke. Disney WaltDisneyCo

He's on damage control! Go woke, go broke!

The Disney New World Order. Comply with Special Interest groups demands because the mainstream public is apathetic.

Bob, when a group makes a derogatory or abusive statement, don’t respond to the comment, talk to the behavior. “Disney prefers being awake vs. asleep or dormant. We’re not afraid of the future. If they can believe in an autocratic god, we can believe in an equitable/free US!” EQ

“Bitches! You make me want to stomp my foot.”

And, does your new overweight princess actually get a bilateral mastectomy in your new movie, if that rumor is true, Disney is now in the EVIL category, not just vile

Catering to pedophiles, groomers, fetished adults and destroying children is not rich and diverse, it’s sick and vile, hope you go bankrupt and I have spent a lot of money on Disney with 3 daughters, not another dime.

Very woke

The board of directors should fire this man, if not then the shareholders should sue.

A friend of mine just went to one in Florida and couldn’t get over how many trans people work there. Y?

BoycottDisney

Disney is for the woke rich. It is irrelevant otherwise.

Recessions resolve this nonsense

He’s in denial.
