No one wants social justice talking points (one version anyway) forced fed by increasingly crappy Star Wars films. “Shockingly,” feminizing every film costs you a big chunk of the audience. Weird, right? The people at Disney seem mystified as to why we’re not all grateful to have their oh so enlightened societal views force fed.

Mr. Toad May Be the Odd Amphibian Out at Disneyland - Los Angeles Magazine

Unlike the White House, the House of Mouse doesn’t leak…much, but there has been at least a dusting of intel about Disneyland’s next big project after it wraps up Galaxy’s Edge: modernizing one of the park’s most popular areas, Fantasyland. Expect contemporary characters, rides updated with the latest technology, and easier access for the endless crowds with Hummer-size strollers.

The current regime at Disney seems to have a manic need to remove ANYTHING that is associated mainly with the Walt Disney era of Disneyland. It would be a travesty to remove Mr. Toad. Their greed is disgusting and is ruining a national treasure-apparently they didn't learn anything the last time they attempted to remove Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
