[orangecrush]

They didn't expect the huge backlash.

38. WOW, either Jimmy Kimmel and/or staff are on DU or some other schlub besides me came up with Orange Julius Caesar!

[wolfie001]

2. So glad you post this lady!

No nonsense, cuts through all the BS and gives you the true message. She's quite brilliant! Disney is certainly paying a steep price for licking tRUMP's lift-filled, smelly shoes.

[lavoosh99]

5. Shoes???

They have their tongues so far up his bloated ass, they can taste his hamberders before he does.

It leads to tyranny.

[samsingh]

11. i'm not sure how they could not expect a backlash

[vapor2]

64. Clearly didn't think we were paying attention

HA

[lostincalifornia]

13. I hope that is true, but I am very skeptical about these hyperbolic headlines. If half of these headlines were

accurate trump should have never have gotten a second term.

At least from my observation, many Americans are pretty lazy an complacent. If it wasn't so we would not have lost the Supreme Court, Roe V Wade, an erosion of the civil rights and voting rights act, environmental protections, workers rights, civil rights, etc.

[orangecrush]

39. Thanks for your concern

[vsrazdem]

14. Karma

I canceled yesterday

[Norbert]

15. Gov Pritzker taught us one thing

If you provide enough backlash trump will turn tail and run. Now he is going to infiltrate Memphis. Pritzker is now facing articles of impeachment from an Illinois MAGA politician but I don't see this going anywhere.

[PortTack]

30. That's hysterical!

[Joinfortmill]

16. This! Fucking This!!

[Upthevibe]

17. Kick. N/T

[Tetrachloride]

18. If people get a taste for something other than Disney, .. national parks, other streamers, this will take the Disney

aura down a notch. Backlash is the first step.

Maybe Disney doesn't care about money as much as something else. And / or ....

Maybe Disney doesn't know what they care about.

[BonnieJW]

27. They've already lost foreign tourists.

Now they're losing the people here. I don't think too many maga families can afford a Disney vacation.

[Tetrachloride]

31. Indeed.

[BattleRow]

47. I wouldn't go there under any circumstances,ever.

[Emile]

19. K & R

[Fil1957]

20. Doesn't matter. They'll just lie and say left wing groups were responsible without any evidence. They're good at lying

and making stuff up.

[ashredux]

21. I just canceled my Disney+ account. I feel great.

[dem4decades]

52. I just realized I have Hulu, i can cancel and say it's for Jimmy.

[tanyev]

24. Maybe they should have been more concerned about the reaction from their customers

than the reaction from one angry toddler in the White House.

[twodogsbarking]

25. Disney controls way too much. This video isn't garbage. Trust me, just once.

[Chi67]

26. Yep

They need to be reminded who pays them. And it ain’t Trump.

[dawgdan]

28. Disney

Boycott Disney, hit em in the pocketbook.

[Tree Lady]

29. I finally got to my desk and canceled Hulu

I had no ads so it was almost $20 a month. I plan to donate the amount to southern Oregon PBS.

People here were saying there was no choice to say why you quit, my drop down of choices had other which I hit and window popped up to say why, I said two words. Jimmy Kimmel.

[BidenRocks]

34. I cancelled Hulu

Then I joined a fitness center.

Walt would not recognize his company.

What is happy about Star Wars soldiers and dead and wounded.

Mickey is saying :wtf!

[republianmushroom]

32. Fuck the duck, Donald Duck, that is.

[BattleRow]

46. Pluck the duck...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. FAFO

They got high on Trump farts and it clouded their judgement.

[TommieMommy]

35. Rumor is Disney employees work for low wages, Long hours and difficult conditions

[TommieMommy]

44. I love that movie 👍👍

[Javaman]

56. The mouse has long been anti-union

I knew an animator that worked for them years and they used to call their managers “dis-nazis”

[wiggs]

37. How do we know Disney is freaking out? Maybe they are fine, thinking of all the

cancelations are worth the future deals. Maybe they are picking up subscriptions from RWrs. Maybe they already factored in the backlash.

I haven't seen any statement from them or published cancellation numbers or drops in revenue. Seems like hopeful speculation

I don't believe this was a spontaneous decision or discussion by Disney...they've been following the news, they've heard from the administration before, they know who is on the WH enemies list. And were prepared.

I support a continued boycott and an even more widespread boycott/strike, so I'm hopeful as well about what people are doing; i just don't know what effect it is having yet.

43. Disney lost $2.64 Billion in market cap in the 3 days since they canned Kimmel.

Disney closed at 115.23 on the 16th.
Disney canned Kimmel on the 17th (Wed.).
Disney closed at 113.76 on the 19th, down 1.47 from Tues, a loss of market cap of $2.64 billion in three days.

[obamanut2012]

51. It was pretty spontaneous by Iger

[SickOfTheOnePct]

62. We really don't know if they're freaking out or not

All speculation.

Less than market cap is down less than $3B, so about 1.5%; not nothing, but they've seen much worse.

I'm pretty sure that their quarterly reports show streaming numbers, so I would expect to see a big drop there, which is the opposite of what they forecast at the end of Q3 FY25.

https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/the-walt-disney-company-reports-third-quarter-and-nine-months-earnings-for-fiscal-2025/

~54% of their profit comes from the Experiences segment (theme parks around the world, Disney Cruise Line, and Disney Vacation Club), so if people cancel vacations (which I'm guessing most people won't do), they could take a hit there.

It's going to have to shake out over the next quarter or two to really see the impact.

40. Looks like the mouse got caught in the trap.

54. Even my brother, a reformed Republican (now a Democrat), and someone who takes great pains to remain politically neutral

Has canceled his subscriptions to Hulu and Disney. Americans are seriously angry about this major assault on the First Amendment.

Say what you will, Americans deeply love the Constitution.

[Warpy]

55. I am SO glad to see this

especially the news that it's happening offshore, also. That's the part I don't think Disney was expecting. They were prepared to deal with a few liberal soreheads here, but the fact that this is spreading is freaking them out.

Remember"Turn on, tune in, drop out?" I suggest we update that for a new maniac in the White house:

Turn it off
Tune them out

Drop their asses.

[Beartracks]

57. Remember: It's not just "TRUMP's authoritarian plans," but the plans of the REPUBLICAN PARTY as a whole. n/t

[summer_in_TX]

59. I wish she had been more accurate.

I like her forcefulness and articulation. But Disney does not have any merger in the works that needs FCC approval. Nexstar does, and Nexstar is not owned by Disney.

There's been some talk about Disney selling ABC to Nexstar, but I don't know how far it has gotten.

[Takket]

60. even their most devoted vloggers are turning against them..........

https://www.glamour.com/story/the-jimmy-kimmel-and-disney-drama-has-some-superfans-dumping-the-mouse

As a fan, Marzec has been outspoken online about her disappointment with the corporation’s decisions in recent months, and plans to not post any content about the brand for now. However, she urges other Disney fans and creators to not give into infighting over the situation with Jimmy Kimmel and Disney. Everyone, she says, should be given the space to figure out how to handle the situation for themselves.

“Everyone is coming to terms with it at different speeds, and the most important thing we can do right now is hold space for each other and be kind,” she says.

Cuevas notes that in this space, Disney creators have more power and influence than some may expect. She wants to use her voice and platform to make a change.

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism. I had to make my stance clear and hope that this starts a movement and gets Disney to make some changes.”

[KentuckyWoman]

61. They should have consulted Target.

Target decided to cater to the very loud but small minority and found out the hard way the quiet majority will just shop elsewhere.

Disney is learning that now. I boycott with my wallet, not my social media account.

[vapor2]

63. Did they not anticipate any consequences?

[vapor2]

65. Love this gal, anyone have her name ?

[orangecrush]

68. Ann Onymous?

[BidenRocks]

66. There is very little of Disney left.

Disney found out the problem in adapting American history into a 'feel good' experience.

Song of the South ring a bell? Censorship?

Now it's Star Wars and stupid animation which I never would watch.

Knotts Berry Farm is pretty nice without the baggage.

[Aussie105]

67. Disney, Musk, Israel, Trump all have one thing in common.

They rely on the goodwill of their customers, the people that are watching, their supporters.

Attendance to Disney attractions will go down.
Tesla will lose sales.
Israel will lose status and cooperative help from other countries.
Trump will slump at the next election.

Did they all think that support from their customers was immutable? That it couldn't dissipate with any wrong moves?
Must be nice to be that self assured and dumb at the same time!

Bigwigs at Disney: We built Disney into what it is today!
Me: Actually, the money you convinced your customers to spend did that.
Unconvince them, and watch your revenue stream suffer.
