117. Blocked means you won't see it
According to these articles it does not appear that Disney is interested in selling the distribution rights to anyone. They clearly stated that they intend to block the film. That means they intend to keep it away from audiences everywhere. That is censorship. Disney could very well keep the film out of theaters and off shelves during a lengthy court battle lasting past the election. After the election it won't have anywhere near the same impact as it would if it were seen today. Short of getting our hands on some bootleg copies things are look kinda grim.

For everyone who is dissapointed by this, there are equally those who will be overjoyed. Our country is pretty much split down the middle. So I don't think boycotting disney will help. A protest, might embarrass disney but I don't know if it would change anything. Letters, maybe. It's too early to tell, but I've got a bad feeling about this.

And about the election in November, too.

Hopefully I am wrong.
