”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
Collectivize all companies
Ironic for a company that recently made Andor.
You might have already heard its praise, but I wanted to add that it’s not just a political thriller, it’s about fascism. More specifically, it’s about the dilemma of doing nothing and pretending everything is fine or doing something even if it means using the tools of your enemy.
Senator Mothma’s speech at the end was creepily relevant, you just need to replace palpatine for another name.
The article links a screenrecording of the thread, but it’s a Zuck product so to save you a click:

My dudes I’m high and and am the slow reading what kind of backup is this
Thank you, Threads is a garbage pit.
A monarchy where succession is decided by trial-by-combat though?
You’re not wrong but a monarchy isn’t strictly speaking the same as facism so I guess it’s technically plausible
Is it any worse than the American political system really?
That’s like saying AIDS is not as bad as Cancer.
Fair enough
I’d love to see the cheeto do a trial by combat, that would be outright funny

Look if there was a way I could sovcit my way to a golden fringe slap fight I’d take it all the way to the top of the conspiracy (lose a slap fight against the president? That’s a hell of a story). Something tells me it’s more complicated.
I know this dude who lost a slap fight against a toad. He was lynched for treason and running round with other dudes wives and daughters. Imagine how far I could go if I lost a slap fight against a president.

Thats Peter Quill.
Ummm Peter Quill went fasch.
peter quill is a fictional character and i havent seen a guardians movie where he went fasch. is there a comic where that happened?
Think they’re referring to the actor Chris Pratt and comments he has made in the recent past.
Peter quill’s actor.
right, a character being portrayed by a dick. but that doesn’t necessarily make the character themselves a dick.
LoL.
Conservatives support the god damned storm troopers too.
Edit: ICE even aims like them too.
Disney are also really shitty at removing any context in their movies. An interesting scene at the beginning of the movie Encanto a flashback references an unknown conflict in Colombia resulting in the death of the grandmother’s husband. What conflict Disney? Who were the bad guys Disney? Further research by an interested viewer will reveal that it was a civil war involving a right wing of rebels backed by the US, rose up against a leftist government.
Learn from the wisdom contained within our magical tales, child…
NO NOT LIKE THAT!!
“The poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco’s poison. That poison?”
Just replace Kuzco with any number of evil people fucking shit up rn.
Somebody, somewhere, is updating their list of all the old pre-fascism movies and TV shows that will need to be erased from the culture.
Meanwhile, I’m going through this list right now of Best Anti-Fascist Films of All Time
So their whole pre-2025 catalogue? Haha oh my.
Only in America is Hydra the good guys.
is there a non paywalled link?
Doesn’t load for me.
Because of the CAPTCHA? Are you, perchance, a robot?
Paywall.
But don’t worry, someone recorded it for posterity.
Link?
(Was it in the article? I failed to find…)
[With the help of an LLM] Here’s a few worthy quotes:
[Edit: Thanks Susaga for pointing out the LLM lied. Hah. LLMs. Can’t trust 'em. Good lines, pity they’re not true quotes.]
“To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world.” — Genie, Aladdin (1992)
“You think you’re so clever, but you’re just a cowardly, backstabbing, murderous lizard!” — Simba, The Lion King (1994)“A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” — Zeus, Hercules (1997)
“I won’t be a pawn in someone else’s game!” — Pinocchio, Pinocchio (1940)“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” — Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh (1966–1977)“I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing freedom.” — John Smith, Pocahontas (1995)“You can’t own a human being!” — Dr. David Q. Dawson, The Aristocats (1970)The LLM lied. Those aren’t quotes from Lion King, Pinocchio, Pocahontas, Aristocats, or Winnie the Pooh. (Christopher Robin did say that, but not in that specific movie. And it’s not particularly antifa either)
Also, Dr Dawson isn’t from the Aristocats. He’s from Great Mouse Detective, and didn’t say the line there either.
Thanks for that.
You relied on ALie.
It’s linked in the article here
It is recorded as a video in the article (screen capture from scrolling Threads on a phone).
Can’t they just post screenshot, or just paste the text of the quotes? Like I really need to watch a video of this…
iPhone user, so no long screenshot capability except in Safari. Among other issues…
