Is Disney Leading a New Wave of Artistic Censorship?

Disney is well-known for its ability to appeal to the masses without issue; that is, until recently. Disney has not had many issues with its ability to be progressive and with the times. However, in recent years, Disney has come under fire for its artistic censorship. This censorship can be seen when Disney changes the content of films overseas to appeal to overpowering governments; as such, a Harvard article is titled Rated C For Censored Walt Disney in China’s Pocket. It can also be seen on a more local level, with Disney (allegedly) practicing censorship in Pixar films over LGBTQ+ relationships. Most recently, Disney has come under fire for funding lawmakers who support the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in the state of Florida.
