Arrr, in a grand misfortune to the post-apocalyptic rendition o' Walt Disney’s empire, the copyright hath finally expired fer the company's flagship mouse. Aye, mateys, now ye be free to plunder the likeness o' that famous rodent without fear o' walkin' the plank!
In a humorous tone, the author discusses the recent expiration of the copyright for the iconic Mickey Mouse character. They mockingly refer to Disney's attempts to extend copyright protections for Mickey, only for him to turn 95 and be set free. The author finds it amusing that Mickey is now being portrayed as a horror character in two upcoming films, suggesting that Disney should have depicted him humiliating company executives instead. They also jest about Disney's recent struggles, particularly with their woke approach to filmmaking and their failures at the box office. They mention the live-action remake of "Snow White" as an example, criticizing the decision to modernize the story and remove elements like true love and the prince's role. The author humorously comments on the controversy surrounding the reshoots of the film, where the dwarves were transformed into multi-racial "magical creatures." The article also highlights the mockery Disney has faced from shows like "South Park," which parodied the company's woke agenda. The author concludes by stating that Disney's stock has significantly declined and suggests that the company is trapped with Mickey Mouse as its troubles continue to mount. They also criticize the leadership of Disney, particularly Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, for driving away fans and investors with her leftist agenda. The article ends with a play on words, stating that Disney's piece of the world is getting smaller.
