Eventually, Dumbo will be canceled again for its treatment of an enslaved baby elephant forced to performs in a circus, right?

“Truly we’ve lost our way”:
Truly we’ve lost our way —- what a joke. Disney has no problem with pushing children to be radicals, shows that teach kids to believe adults are idiots and over charging for clothing made in sweat shops… we only have ourselves to blame… Long Live Dumbo, Pepe, Pan & the gang https://t.co/BIHLryHPW1
