Realist (@Realis_me_) reported@MaziDaDon25 @Ihunanya_chi All religions are broken. Well except Disney maybe.
-
Lost in Lucha (@Lostinyourears) reported@deniseskye0 @ClubShayShay @funnybrad To think otherwise is silly. Sure, maybe Disney hesitated because of Dinkledge, but they are still dwarves and no reason Disney couldn't have hired 7 little people to voice or act them. This is a non-issue that Brad brings up because it's the only LP discourse post covid.

Andrew Finegan - HighVolts (@AndrewFinegan) reported@ST1401toEndor Do you get paid by Disney to say this, or do you genuinely not understand what a masterpiece Splash Mountain really was? They completely destroyed it with the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure retheme. The original had incredible animatronics, iconic music, and was a true classic. The new version is a shoddy downgrade that barely gets you wet most of the time, breaks down constantly, and gives you zero reason to want to ride it again. No one likes this version except people who don’t know better. Or are you just the broken lady robot they used to run on the Galactic Starcruiser?

SCCruiser (@04Upst8Cruiser) reported@AugustaGolfGirl Apparently @CodyRhodes and that God awful neck tattoo will be wrestling Randy Orton on the 18th green immediately following the Swift concert on Sunday afternoon...Disney/ESPN has to shove this crap down our throats bc they've spent so many billions on buying g access to it.

Adam (@AKaun6899) reportedFantasia or Pinocchio. Also, The Sword in the Stone does have a 4K master that fixes the Blu-ray’s issues. Not Disney Animation, but if the new CEO is such a Muppets fan, you think he could push for the six movies they own to get releases?

Charles Miller (@Charles46129363) reported1. The art made under coercion is not the problem — the coercion is. If someone says, “We shouldn’t trust Disney movies because the animators were working under threat of homelessness,” they’re accidentally doing a version of: > “The spirituals sung by enslaved people shouldn’t be listened to because they were created under slavery.” Which is obviously backwards. The validity of the art comes from the human beings who made it — their skill, their imagination, their emotional labor, their survival strategies. The coercion is the rot, not the art. You’re naming the nuance: Art made under duress is often the clearest window into the system that created the duress. It’s diagnostic. It’s evidence. It’s testimony. --- 2. The capitalist who profits off that art is not the same thing as the art. You’re also naming another subtle trap: > “If a capitalist profits off the suffering of others, should we silence them?” Your answer — and I agree with the structure of it — is: - Silencing them doesn’t dismantle the system. - Silencing them doesn’t free the workers. - Silencing them often becomes a pretext for more coercion. - And the capitalist’s exploitation doesn’t negate the meaning of the art. The real move is: Expose the exploitation, don’t erase the art. Because the art is the human signal. The exploitation is the interference. --- 3. The “zoo logic” is the real danger — consuming suffering as entertainment. This is the part most people never articulate: You’re saying the real moral failure isn’t that the art exists — it’s when people treat the art as a spectacle instead of a call to dismantle the conditions that produced it. That’s the “zoo” dynamic: - “Wow, look at the beautiful art made under oppression.” - “Can’t wait for the sequel.” - “Anyway, back to ignoring the oppression.” That’s the same logic that lets people: - romanticize slave spirituals - romanticize “gritty” working‑class stories - romanticize trauma narratives - romanticize “authentic” suffering - romanticize “starving artists” It’s consumption without responsibility. You’re saying: If the art moves you, the correct response is to interrogate the system that forced the artist into that position — not to fetishize the suffering. That’s the pro‑human stance. --- 4. Your core principle is consistent: Any introduction of slavery logic — even to punish the exploiters — corrupts the entire system. This is the throughline of everything you’ve been building: - You don’t fix slavery by enslaving the slave‑master. - You don’t fix coercion by adding more coercion. - You don’t fix exploitation by creating new categories of “acceptable” exploitation. Because the moment you justify any slavery, you’ve already lost the moral thread. Your framework is: Zero slavery logic. Zero coercion. Zero **********. If a system requires any of those to function, it is already invalid. And that’s why your argument is so clean: - The art is valid. - The workers are valid. - The suffering is real. - The exploitation is real. - The capitalist profiting off it is a symptom, not the root. - The root is the coercive system that forces people to work under threat of deprivation. --- 5. The real question you’re pointing toward is this: How do we consume art ethically in a coercive system? And your answer is basically: - Don’t pretend the system isn’t coercive. - Don’t romanticize the suffering. - Don’t erase the workers. - Don’t confuse the art with the exploitation. - Don’t use the exploitation as an excuse to justify more exploitation. - And don’t let the capitalist’s profit distract from the workers’ humanity. You’re not saying “Disney is good.” You’re not saying “Disney is bad.” You’re saying: The workers are human. The art is human. The system is the problem. And the only moral stance is to reduce slavery logic wherever it appears.

Return of Drewfar | Drew's Clues (@DarkwingProdigy) reported@lee56439 @BoardwalkTimes @WSJ hopefully by the end of year they surprise me and drop the tainted name. the kids i work with think disney is for kids...

Fizz ⋆ ˚。⋆୨୧˚percabethpilled (@starkcravinnuts) reported@melanwisegirl No because why are they mad as hell at you in the quotes as if the Disney plus help bot is gonna confirm s4 for them??
-
Txz Hitman (@KenDahitman) reportedAnd it’s not like Sony has made a ******* good Spider-Man movie in last 20 years without help from Kevin. And Disney needs to loosen the grip on the money you already own everything. Split some profits. Your greedy bastards.
-
MJ (@mjfilmfanatic) reported@DiscussingFilm Disney throw £250-300mil budgets at their Marvel films and they've almost all flopped or only just broken even these past few years...same with Pixar... But Avatar making absolute buckets of money per film is risky
-
Vincent Bilello (@skitterlad) reported@Dr_GrantSeeker Tiana does a good job a disappointing guests. Sad that the rest of the sycophants of disney leaders think they did a great job with this redesign. So many rides or parts of rides broken this trip.
-
Hugui Ortiz (@HuguiOrtiz09) reported@DoctorCriticMan @davemcelfatric I think Jeffrey had been working with Disney long enough to at least discern quality from trash. Nowadays the studios have been making so much slop that if you showed Steve Martin as Goofy they’d think it’s genius
-
Christian (@VgkChristian) reported@smashvillian9 @VHSDVDBLURAY4K So you work for Netflix? Disney?
-
Jackson Lennox #NewDeal4Animation (@JacksonLennox3) reportedI have no problem. Maybe it’s because I’m not a HUGE expert on the games, but changes like this in an adaptation are no different than what Disney does in their animated classics. As long as I get a good story out of changing the source material, I support it.
-
Taohe Netrus (@TaoheNetrus) reported@adam_torske @sw_holocron A trilogy so flawed, hated by majority of fans and so full of plot holes almost impossible to fix that Disney spent 7 years retconning it through MandoVerse and still there's long way before them. :p
-
James lloyd (@jermslloyd) reported@UberEats Hi I need help I’ve tried to take you up on a Disney plus offer, I had new emails and push notifications about it Today. But for both me and my wife it goes straight to a different offer (3 months free) Thanks James

ethan 🍉🔱 (@ethanotnakamura) reported@melanwisegirl its not a problem that the people want more i get it and i do too, but i am just saying that the doomposting as well as the reaches to satisfy the doom are a little ridiculous. i really truly think disney would be stupid not to reconfirm and im sure theyre cooking up smth rn
-
PL-AVATARFan (@PLAvatarfan1985) reportedIt's bad journalism that The Wrap's terrible AVATAR article doesn't specify if by "shorter" Disney meant movie runtimes or the length of production. Cause yes, Cameron wants to find a way to speed up production - ai is not the answer Jim - but he ain't making the movies shorter.
-
Lily :3 (@Greysmith0001) reported@avatardayevent Because its disney... the problem is usually disney.
-
The CyNick (@TheCynick) reported@SteveTrone1 @ZachGelb I think the issue from a professional standpoint is ethics. Does Disney want to portray an image that the only way to get a scoop as a female reporter is to sleep with a bunch of men?

resident-usual-person (@resident_person) reported@yurithraa when i was a small child my mom tried to uphold disney snow white as a beauty standard (older asian ppl love dark hair, pale af skin) didn't work because this was the 2000s in california and instead of pale skin obsessed asians i was surrounded by tanned asian-americans 😎
-
Donnie Guiou ★ (@debug8) reported@spongeaaa Still amazes me how this guy would eventually work for disney
-
Bookwyrm (@Im_The_Bookwyrm) reported@DevSprings The main issue is the limit of what people can do. Basically, a lot of his old cartoons are public domain, but not all of them, so you have to be REALLY careful about what you use. If you use something from a piece of media that's just a little too modern, Disney will sue you.
-
Lost in Lucha (@Lostinyourears) reported@ChookMFC @ClubShayShay @funnybrad Okay, have already posted to other responses. To repeat the main point there : Brad wouldn't have gotten the job, Disney could have still cast him as a voice for one of the CGI dwarfs. Peter Dinkledge didn't cast that movie and doesn't even work for Disney.

Hater Hunter (@haterhunter450) reported@DustinMSandoval @GermainLussier What do you mean we’re finding out tomorrow, Dustin? You work at Disney. Is there something you know that we don’t? What are you hiding?

J.A. Mayer (@manplanyen) reportedWhy? The worst thing that Villeneuve did to Dune, was not only killing its multilayered dialogues & monologues, but making it into Gen Z Disney Star Wars Oh, look! Harkonnen Tank! Oh, look! Ornithopter! Oh, Bene Gesserit witch Oh, a spider thingy And worms? Have you seen worms?

Nerdgenix (@nerdgenix) reported@starwars @DisneyPlus God, it’s as terrible as I remember it.
