Disney deleted a Thread because people kept putting anti-fascist quotes from its movies in the replies (www.theverge.com)

”Share a Disney quote that sums up how you’re feeling right now!”

That’s what Disney posted on Threads the other day, and people immediately replied with lines from Star Wars, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and even Mary Poppins. The throughline between all the quotes: they were pretty pointedly anti-fascist and clearly aimed at the current administration

Encanto isn’t about the conflict, though.

It would seriously break the flow of the story if they took time to explain the geopolitics of the area.

The original comment reads more like: they could've used an abstract conflict without specifics allowing to identify it

I would add: maybe that was intentional, also maybe they thought that the US were on the side of good in that case

It’s war, there is no side of good.
