When Disney posted on its official Threads account, 'Share a Disney quote that expresses how you feel right now!', users began quoting lines from films such as ' Star Wars ,' 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame, ' and ' Mary Poppins .' However, technology media The Verge points out that the Disney quotes quoted by users were 'all very explicit anti-fascist lines.'
Whether Disney felt it couldn't handle the anti-fascist quote well or feared incurring the wrath of those in power, it deleted the post following the response in the reply section.
However, a resourceful Threads user shared a video recording of Disney's original post and its replies, revealing the exact lines that were quoted.
One of the lines quoted by the user was from Barbie in ' Toy Story 3, ' who said, ' Power should come from the consent of the governed, not from intimidation! '
Other lines and scenes that were particularly frequently shared in the reply section were discriminatory lines and scenes such as 'White men are dangerous' from ' Pocahontas ,' the scene in which the swastika flag appears in ' The Sound of Music ,' and Sebastian's line from ' The Little Mermaid ' that 'the human world is the worst.'
