On October 7th, I wrote this in a post entitled Disney’s New “Wish” Movie is Demonic...
After losing nearly a billion dollars on four 2023 movie flops, Disney’s fortunes may be about to change. The trailer for its movie Wish has reached well over 70 million views across different platforms as of the end of September. That makes it Disney’s most-viewed trailer since 2019’s Frozen II. To put this in perspective, Frozen II’s box office take to date is about a billion and a half dollars. As of September 30th, the Barbie Movie’s global box office total is now more than that. Based on the views of the Wish trailer, the film could potentially equal or even exceed those numbers. The hyper-woke executives at Disney must be giddy with delight in anticipation of the movie’s upcoming November 22nd release date.
Well, I was wrong... Over this past Thanksgiving weekend, Disney’s newest movie, “Wish,” was a spectacular failure at the box office (a good thing). The film brought in only $8.3 million on the first day and a cumulative five-day total of $31.7 million. When compared to its $400 million budget, that is a world-class disaster.
Compare that to 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick… in just its first three days in North American theatres, the sequel earned an estimated $124 million in ticket sales. The Tom Cruise-led action film generated $719 million in 2022 ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada alone. Its overall take is already well over $1.5 billion.
Now the question is, was it a flop because Disney has become a box-office joke, or was it because people weren’t willing to pay the hefty ticket prices to take their kids?
Perhaps it was because it was yet another recycled Disney plot?
Or maybe it was because of the movie’s you-can-be-your-own-God message? Not the Bee’s Joel Abbott agrees that the story has an anti-God message. He wrote…
“In a way, it could be interpreted as a retelling of Eve in the Garden, except with the secular spin of Eve (Asha) overthrowing the god-king character in order to
create her version of utopia. Asha is faced with the very same questions about the king in her world as Eve is asked in the creation story: ‘Did God really say?’ and ‘Is God good?’ Asha and the creators of this story have deemed the answer to be ‘No.’ For Christian parents (and perhaps other Abrahamic faiths as well), this sort of anti-religious messaging is a no-go.”
Abbott would be right...
Disney continues to push their sick worldview and political agendas on children despite the fact they are experiencing billion-dollar-plus losses. Even after this past weekend, Disney shows no signs of making a course correction. They seem intent on sailing straight into the rocks until they sink the ship…

Dopey big businesses who project diversity-inclusion-equity-accessibility (DIE-Ea?) under environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) rubrics can go pound sand. The leaders of these crummy Marxist-crony capitalist fusion matrix monsters fed by the Fed willfully order the killing of entrepreneurship. Thus, they are simply WOKE.
Except, like all the other ‘Captains’ at the helm of the world’s doomed fleets, they have no intention whatsoever to ’go down with the ship’!
Instead, like Satan’s angelic hosts and countless humans before, they have been deceived into believing that ‘the way up, is down’; that they can and will realize individual ‘triumph’ (which is ultimately all that matters in the Satanic realm) through the destruction of God’s order and all that is good within it...
