Disney+ to Retire Woke Series, Including “Willow” Remake

Disney+ is set to remove a number of its biggest series from its streaming platform, including a high-profile, woke-ified remake of “Willow,” the 1988 Ron Howard-directed swords-and-sorcery movie. The move comes as part of a “content impairment charge” that totals $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, which Disney announced in an earnings call on May 10. The series will be removed for the foreseeable future on May 26.

What’s Being Removed?

Among the victims are “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers,” yet another remake of “Cheaper by the Dozen,” and “The World According to Jeff Goldblum.” However, “Willow” stuck out like a sore thumb because it was a major, recent production with serious backing from the House of Mouse, along with plenty of wokeness baked in, including pushing adult themes and same-sex relationships on your kids.

Why Was “Woke Willow” Cancelled?

The series, which completed its first and only season just six months ago, “was heavily promoted by Disney, but it received a lukewarm reception from fans and critics and was subsequently canceled in March,” according to IGN. While show runner Jonathan Kasdan had expressed hope that a second season would be picked up as recently as March, the axing of “Willow” from the platform entirely seems to preclude that from happening anytime in the near future.

What’s the Backlash?

As John Nolte noted at Breitbart, the failure of “Woke Willow” was entirely predictable, given that the series was “an open attempt on Disney’s part to groom your child, to interfere and manipulate their natural sexual evolution.” Nolte went on to say that “Woke Willow” was “unquestionably one more Disney attempt to destroy the innocence of small children by prematurely exposing them to adult sexuality, including homosexuality.”

Disney’s Losing Streak Continues with Latest Woke Property

Disney’s recent foray into woke culture has not been paying off. The company’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which removed a same-sex kiss from the Pixar movie “Lightyear,” was met with backlash from parents who boycotted the film. Even the “Toy Story” prequel failed to impress audiences. And “Strange World,” which featured the first openly gay teen character in Disney’s history, bombed at the box office.

All in all, Disney lost a quarter of a billion dollars between these three films. And now, it seems that another high-profile woke property is about to be written off by the company. It looks like “broke” is on quite the winning streak at the Magic Kingdom.

Disney’s recent losses show that pandering to woke culture may not be the best business strategy. It remains to be seen whether the company will continue down this path or shift gears to focus on more profitable ventures.

Disney+ to Remove Ultra-Woke LGBT Show and Other Series

Disney+ is set to retire several of its biggest series from its streaming platform, including a high-profile, woke-ified remake of “Willow,” the 1988 Ron Howard-directed swords-and-sorcery movie. The move came as a slap in the face to those who were working on the show, including writer John Bickerstaff. “They gave us six months. Not even. This business has become absolutely cruel,” Bickerstaff tweeted.

Going Broke in the Woke vs. Broke Sweepstakes

According to a Thursday report from Hollywood trade publication Deadline, Disney is set to take a “content impairment charge,” or tax writ-down — which totals $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion — in an earnings call on May 10. The series will be removed for the foreseeable future on May 26. “Disney is the latest media company to purge content from its streaming platforms in a cost-cutting measure as the industry is rethinking costs and strategy in that arena with a renewed focus on profitability. Warner Bros. Discovery removed a slew of series from HBO Max, with AMC and Showtime also undergoing a similar scale back,” Deadline noted.

Victims of the Purge

Much of this “content impairment” being removed from Disney+ is content that viewers may not mind being “impaired” from finding. Among the victims are “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers,” yet another remake of “Cheaper by the Dozen” (this one starring Zach Braff and Gabriele Union) and “The World According to Jeff Goldblum,” in which the seriously daft “Independence Day” and “Jurassic Park” actor attempts (and, judging by the very brief snippets of the series that I’ve seen, fails) to explain the world.

Woke Willow

“Willow” stuck out like a sore thumb because it was a major, recent production with serious backing from the House of Mouse — along with plenty of wokeness baked in, including pushing adult themes and same-sex relationships on your kids. According to IGN, the series, which completed its first and only season just six months ago, “was heavily promoted by Disney, but it received a lukewarm reception from fans and critics and was subsequently canceled in March.”

As John Nolte noted at Breitbart, however, the failure of “Woke Willow” was entirely predictable, given that the series was, in his words, “an open attempt on Disney’s part to groom your child, to interfere and manipulate their natural sexual evolution.”

Conclusion

Between the two of them, Disney lost a quarter of a billion dollars. Now, yet another high-profile woke property is apparently getting written off by the company — meaning broke is on quite the winning streak at the Magic Kingdom.
