Well seeing that during the time of Jesus isreal was called Judea and didn't become Israel till 60AD which is 30ish years after his death I don't see how that can be correct.
Orlando the cesspool of Florida & Mickey Rat World!!!!!! Built with non-union construction rats. Same book different cover. Come to Florida for the sun & sea. Not the urine drenched carnival rides.
Don’t think they can do better anymore. Their support of the orange blob in TWH is enough to show us not to go. Then there is Florida. Who wants to go there anymore.
I wonder if they will be a Christian who actually follows Jesus’s teachings of love thy neighbour, or to love foreigners as thyself. Or like a US evangelical who loves a racist sex predator.
It boggles my mind that the Xtian Right actually believes there's a war on Christianity. THEY'RE THE ONES waging a war on everyone that doesn't believe as they do. Try and tell them this, and all you see are blank stares and hear the wind blowing through their skull.
In fairness Disney has sucked for years and barely tried with representation until they saw money from the controversies. They’re pulling a Target and backsliding immediately because they don’t actually care.
Shows you that they think religion and being trans is interchangeable.
Yeah. The Disney minstrel shows.. I have learned in the brief (and awful) period of time I spent working for hentai publisher that minstrel shows were brought over to Japan in 1853 by Matthew Perry - we really just thought they were the best things ever and showed them to everybody… gross…
My dad told me about a live action Disney movie that he saw when he was a kid that was about a teenage girl learning that her family was participating in an exchange program and an African student would come to live with them. She was upset, but then relieved to learn that the student was white. Ugh
Im gonna have to look that one up and see if I can find it. Also I’m laughing irl because I genuinely don’t know what that movie is but I immediately was reminded of Mean Girls and how this scene happened when you meet “the plastics” for the first time. https://youtu.be/mXovJSCc6M0
Yes! That is another good example. My pop mentioned that he felt that collective relief with the girl in the movie, which led to a whole other conversation about how racism is pervasive, and we must always combat it, sometimes through self examination. Even bad movies can teach us something.
Might be a DCOM called The Color of Friendship - it was a Black American family taking in a South African exchange student and being disappointed and surprised when she turned out to be a white girl, who also is pretty racist given her background. It was a favorite of mine growing up.
I'm actually willing to side with Target here for a sec. The only reason Target stepped back their support was because their stores were getting bomb threats and employees were getting death threats. People took 'disagreement' to a whole very unhealthy and dangerous level
Also bomb threats, big whoop. Bomb threats were called into my school constantly after 1999. It was like every six months we had to all go stand outside to see if our school was going to blow up. The principal wasn’t like “hey guys we shouldn’t make anyone do homework anymore. These are scary.”
I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree. Target is a company - but the trans employees they have deserve protections, too. How do they all feel knowing that an entire company would rather throw them away to save themselves? It’s the same issue with leopards. They threw trans ppl under their tires.
Almost every MAGA moron that I’ve spoken to based their entire vote on their own misguided fears of “boys in women’s bathrooms” or “boys playing women’s sports”. That’s the reason we are here. How pathetic?
Disney was a f'n Nazi you guys. Seriously. Ford was too. They both loved Hitler. Disney's first try at a town was all spanky white. Just boycott that shit
Disney literally cares about nothing other than their profit margin. They're literally just trying to read the room and pretend they care about whatever the majority sentiment is.
That's not exactly what I meant. I meant it's going to backfire. I'm a Christian, albeit a liberal one, and I get angry when companies shove any religion in my face.
They do exist right now, in real life—just not on Disney's dollar and time. We all know why they are separating the two characters or will not make a Christian Trans character: bigotry and cowardice.
Disney is bending the knee to MAGA and other conservative countries.
I had to root for the mouse when they were beefing with DeSatan. It felt unnatural. I am enormously displeased to see the usual order of this tiny sliver of the universe restored in this current era of hateful chaos.
Actually get ready I'm sure more is to come. I would of loved if Pete Buttigieg would of ran against Trump and won.
We would all be asking Trump "Whose a Bitch now"?
It’s been click baited out of prooortion. What I heard is like a character prays for one scene or something. It might’ve been there even if they kept the Trans storyline, the two may not be related at all. (They still should do better. Just… people like to twist things too.)
No more Disney for me! No more meneer Musk, no more Herr Drumpf.
I love cartoons, but the latest characters are just too real!
are Drumpf and his vice (Pun intended) even real?
Wait.... We're surprised that big super conglomerate company Disney is doing shitty things?! Please, the days where Disney was a wholesome company hasn't been a thing. Ever.
They kissed the ring, remember? By paying off Trump despite legitimately being the victor in a lawsuit. They're not going to do better, George. They already clearly demonstrated their refusal to do so.
That’s why i don’t have D+ anymore, one trans person is breaking the barriers completely no matter the sport,wish those who worked for Disney faces the shameful consequences
I do not want overt religion of any type in my entertainment. I particularly do not want it in my animation.
Except for "Father Ted" because I'm a twisted Irish atheist & thats what I grew up with.
I don't know any trans people or orginizations who need SAM/SML insurance policies but i do know a not insignificant number of Christians and mega churches do.
Why does everybody have a twist in their panties. The people in power don't like the LGBTQ community. They'd like nothing more than to tattoo their social security numbers on their arms, pack them into a boxcar and ship them off to a death... I mean detention camp. Yeah a detention camp.
I'm at a loss. This is 2025. Why do some people still care who fucks whom? It's of no concern to anyone not involved.
And unless I'm having sex with someone, what's between my legs is irrelevant.
Yes, it is ridiculous that the Republican party should be so interested in who is having sex with whom...and especially interested in controlling women.
I’m curious, how does one take part in a religion that more often than not discriminates against them? I’m not asking to be hostile, I’m genuinely curious.
You’re asking the wrong person 😂. I’m a Gay Agnostic who is still undoing 18 years of Catholic programming. Of those I know who are trans and religious, one is a Universalist and the other is Jewish.
3d animation peaked in 2013 when frozen did that whole super complex unique rendering for that one scene and Pixar and these guys have just been rolling in shit and reusing the same characters for 12 years.
This is literally still DEI. Protestants are officially way under 50% in the United States, making them a minority, ie this is being inclusive to a different minority on screen.
They didn't specifically cancel Nimona though, they closed the studio that was making it, citing "economic hardships" but they were iffy on Nimona as it was so had they kept the studio open they may have also scrapped the movie regardless.
Yep. They acquired fox and blue sky and when they shut down blue sky Nimona was effectively canceled. There's some info that says Disney leadership did not like the LGBTQ+ themes of the movie, but Annapurna picked it up instead and that movie is fantastic.
I think this could be pretty funny if the Christian kid’s parents had a Christian persecution complex and plot lines were often based on their insanity
So what exactly is a Christian character? Oh I know. Where's a red hat and uses the n-word profusely. While sporting a Nazi armband. Okay, I get it now.
Hey Disney they will write your whole legacy if you let them. I predict they will become foreign mouth piece for fascism. Big business takes the Kool aid intravenously.
What plot lines does a Christian character even add? "I'm really worried about what you're doing." Or, "Everyone won't do as I tell them so I'm being persecuted!" Maybe it's a good idea to teach children that intolerant cunts exist in the world, and they're usually "Christian".
Bobby is back in the driver’s seat & his first mission is going to be to get under the radar and steady the ship, damn the consequences.
Disney film, parks & broadcast properties are going bland, kowtowing mainstream. So much so that every month I wonder why I pay for the now boring full Disney+.
Wouldn't call that "adding" unless they changed the lines in post. Secondly, "Heavenly Father" is a phrase usually used by mormons, who are technically not Christian since Christianity is definitionally monotheisic and mormons are extremely polytheistic.
Companies do not care about inclusivity, they will do whatever they believe will make them the most money, I don't think anyone should be surprised at this point 💀
The mouse likes money. After bowing to the Lord of Trumpdom, they need to retain their white Christian nationalists because all of the people who fucked off after they dumped DEI left a giant hole in their bottom line...the solution...flip the dial back to racism and religious mind control.
Final straw, throwing out my Disney subscription (have to eat 3/4 of a year’s worth of it; even worse, I’m Canadian, so have gone from “Sorry, to made a mild mannered Canuck mad” mode. ;)
What really ticks me off is all these corporations just sway in the wind, when Trump is put out to pasture, or under it, they will sway back, it’s sickening.
All that from a company who started out with a main character in Donald Duck who doesn’t even wear pants. Pathetic. People need to grow up and be accepting of everyone who is not evil.
Anyone remember Disney’s animated movie “Strangeworld” 2022? It was strange but my 4 yr old grandson loved it. Disney was embracing diversity with a young gay romance. That backfired on them and they have done a 180. They are corporate cowards.
Disney didn’t waste any time bending the knee to Trump’s twisted regime. The whole Christian fundamentalist movement needs to stop. We don’t want that shit forced down our throats. They are all about hate and division. Homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, and every other phobia reigns supreme. Sad.
no, they’re not. any diversity disney’s ever had has been performative at best, just items on a checklist they’ll use to sell people’s identities back to them
Pst. Disney. Cmon, have a seat. Look, bud, you're a big deal. We really wanna like what you do. You've set the standard for animation world wide since before I was born. You have the power to /set/ standards rather than obey them but you've been forgetting that lately. You wanna talk it out, champ?
If they added a Christian character, then they need to make him true to reality. He needs to be judgmental, racist, a bigot, selfish, you know everything that Jesus isn’t.
I don’t think they added a character, a character prays in like one scene or something and I legitimately I think it was always there, the original story came from bigots making clickbait to brag about it being “Disney’s first openly Christian character” (not true)

Greets, Europe
Liberal Biblical Jesus: “I would love them!”
Historical Jesus: (In Aramaic) “What’s a Disney Plus?”
Also white Christians desperately want to believe they are somehow part of the Twelve Tribes and more important than the Jews to Jesus.
That’s pathetic
Shows you that they think religion and being trans is interchangeable.

Who walks into an office and says they need to be re-sensitized to empty threats?
Sadly, they distort the teachings of that very zombie to justify their hate of the "others". Same story different day.

Disney became a media monster after Walt's death. Somewhere, that man is crying...
Never expect them to
But we all gotta stop thinking that businesses have any morality, ethical guidelines, values, principles that extend past this quarter.
They only act that way because they're afraid of losing market share. No value statement lasts.
It's propaganda even it looks like a challenge of it.
Disney is bending the knee to MAGA and other conservative countries.
About time to acknowledge mass corporations have always been about the commodification of art.
Reducing human experience to the lowest common denominator for mass consumption.
They've butchered old fairy tales beyond recognition.
We would all be asking Trump "Whose a Bitch now"?
