Disney released “Fantasia” in 1940. It was Walt’s magnum opus. Maybe I’m more attached to it than most because I’m a cartoonist and a storyteller, but I’ve cherished how Disney created a vision. My favorite segment was the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” Mickey is Merlin’s assistant, and lazy mouse. He tries to do more than he’s capable of, and uses tools he cannot control. It seems to be the perfect, albeit, sad metaphor for modern Disney — with a bit of a twist.
In my version, Mickey tries to load up on the wokeness BS, but instead of “making magic,” he manages to step on one rake after another.
A relative of Walt Disney has threatened fire and brimstone. No matter: this battle, much like Mickey’s eight decades ago, will end in disaster.
Right now, when it matters most of all, they will stand for those values with every fiber of their being. Yeah guys like Rufo can try, but Disney is so much bigger, means so much more to the American people than that little punk can ever hope to mean. END//

The House of Mouse has overplayed its hand.
Oh, Boy! cried Mickey. OooooH, BOY!
