Clean up is underway at the House of Mouse as latest woke Disney movie bombs at the box office HotAir

The increasingly woke culture at Disney was creating harm to the company s bottom line. Get woke, go broke. Disney primarily provides family entertainment. Iger s time at the top was highly successful for him and for Disney. He was the chief executive who oversaw Disney s acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox. There was talk of a possible presidential run among Democrats when he retired, or maybe buying an NBA team. Now he is tasked with fixing what isn t working and that includes finding a good replacement for him when his contract is over. The first time around with that decision didn t work out so well for anyone.

Iger has gone right to work and some major shake-ups in personnel are underway. Iger is a liberal Democrat who is not afraid to voice a political opinion yet it seems that Chapek s great downfall was in communication. Iger crouched political opinions as speaking out in the name of right versus wrong, as opposed to simply delivering a political hot take, as happened when Chapek found himself caught up in the battle with Governor DeSantis over The Parental Rights in Education Act. Democrats falsely nicknamed the bill the Don t Say Gay Bill, though the word gay never appears in it. At the time, Chapek initially stayed out of the ruckus and Iger publicly chastised him for doing so. Then Chapek jumped into the battle and the rest is history. It turns out that parents don t like to be dictated to by a special interests group like LGTBQ activists. Families are a big part of Disney s business model. What could possibly go wrong with a CEO taking the side of cultural activists over the company s prime audience?
