Disney appears to be retreating from the cultural and political wars after years of backlash.

The multi-billion dollar company has recently taken an active role in moving away from explosive political issues, indicating a change in priorities. For example, the company confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday that it would be removing a transgender storyline from the upcoming Pixar animated series “Win or Lose.”

“When it comes to animated content for younger audiences, we know that many parents would prefer to discuss certain topics with their children on their own terms and schedule,” a spokesperson said.

This contrasted with what has been seen as a focus on diversity and inclusion in its films in recent years, which some blame for 2023’s string of box office flops and disappointments. As it finds increasing success with non-political films like “Deadpool & Wolverine” and the recent “Moana 2,” experts believe this could be a shift back to entertainment.

“Disney offers one product: entertainment,” Charles Elson, former director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, told the Los Angeles Times. “It shouldn’t be about politics.”

Beyond entertainment, Disney was cited as a factor in ABC News’ recent settlement with President-elect Donald Trump earlier this month. Trump sued the Disney-owned news company for defamation after host George Stephanopoulos repeatedly claimed on-air that he was “liable for rape” when he was actually liable for “sexual abuse,” which “new” has a different definition York Law.

Instead of continuing a costly lawsuit, ABC News and Trump agreed that ABC News would pay $15 million to a Trump presidential foundation and museum, as well as $1 million in legal fees. This move was met with backlash from more liberal commentators who believed the company was pandering to Trump.

“When you go into politics, you make a statement,” Elson said. “And when you come out, it also becomes a statement.”

“You don’t want to argue with the head of a government that regulates you,” he added. “Politics is bad for business.”

CEO Bob Iger shared this opinion in an interview with CNBC earlier this year.

“I think the noise is kind of muffled. “I’ve been preaching this in the company for a long time before I left, and since I’ve come back, our number one goal has been to entertain,” Iger said. “The bottom line is that our goal is not to incorporate messages into our films and television shows as some kind of top priority. They have to be entertaining and the Disney company has to have a positive impact on the world, whether it’s promoting acceptance and understanding of people of all kinds, great.”

“But in general we need to be an entertainment-first company,” he added.
