Disney has axed an animated episode about a transgender child who plays sports with a girls’ team. The show is called “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.” An episode schedule for 2025 was to be called “The Gatekeeper” but Disney will not air it now.
The episode was about a transgender boy playing on the girls’ volleyball team and facing discrimination for it. One of the episode’s creators reportedly said this and then deleted it on the app Blue Sky:
“So guess I finally got hit with one of the projects (episode) I worked on is getting shelved because of which party that won the recent election. It breaks my heart knowing this impactful and amazing is now about to be consider a lost media episode.”
Is it because of the election or is it because a new report from the United Nations that showed that “over 600 female athletes in more than 400 competitions have lost more than 890 medals in 29 different sports” and maybe now the rest of us can see that this isn’t right, even Disney executives?
Disney is also facing calls to replace Rachel Zegler as Snow White in the upcoming feature film for saying that she wishes President-Elect Trump and his supporters “never know peace.” Disney fired “The Mandalorian” actress Gina Carano for expressing a conservative opinion but she did not wish harm on anyone. Imagine a Hollywood actor wishing harm on a Harris supporter.
Will Disney move forward with this obnoxious actress who hates 50.2% of the country? Back to the Future was re-shot with a new lead late in the game, although the movie previews had not been released. There’s a first for everything.
