Disney’s shareholder meeting is fast approaching on April 3, and things are really heating up as Trian Partners CEO Nelson Peltz takes aim at Disney’s “woke” infection. Peltz, a Trump supporter and vocal critic of Disney’s slide into left-wing messaging, is making waves with his push for greater control over the entertainment giant.

Peltz is not holding back, questioning why Disney feels the need to pander to identity politics with things like “all-female casts” or “all-black” casts. He argues that audience members just want to be entertained, not bombarded with political agendas. And you know what? He’s absolutely right. Disney should focus on delivering top-notch content instead of pushing divisive narratives.
In response to Peltz’s criticisms, Disney’s board has resorted to name-calling, labeling Peltz a “bully” and dismissing his perspectives. But let’s be real here, Disney’s recent track record speaks for itself. The company has been floundering, with plummeting stocks and streaming services bleeding money. It’s clear that a shake-up is needed.
Peltz, with his “Restore the Magic” campaign, is offering a lifeline to Disney, advocating for a return to the creative brilliance that made the company legendary. His call for change has garnered support from notable figures like Elon Musk and former Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter. It’s time for Disney to prioritize storytelling over woke politics.
Come April 3, shareholders will have a crucial decision to make. Will they stick with Disney’s current downward trajectory or opt for a much-needed revival under Peltz’s leadership? The choice seems clear: it’s time to put the magic back in the Magic Kingdom and steer Disney away from the pitfalls of political correctness. It’s time to make Disney great again!
