From Fox News: Disney appears to be backing out of the culture and political wars after years of backlash.
The billion-dollar company has recently been taking an active role in moving away from hot-button political issues in a way that seems to be signaling a change in priority. For example, the company confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday that it would be removing a transgender storyline from the upcoming animated Pixar series “Win or Lose.”
“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” a spokesman said.
This contrasted what had been seen as a focus on diversity and inclusion in its films over the past few years, which some have credited with its string of box office flops and disappointments in 2023. As it has begun seeing more success with non-political films such as “Deadpool & Wolverine” and the recent “Moana 2,” experts believe this could be a shift back to entertainment.
