Disney was trapped in a growing boycott, because fans and celebrities Disney Plus and Hulu subscriptions in protest.
The controversy started after ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live Show had suspended after the host’s comments about the shooting on conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Many viewers claimed that the company silenced the criticism of former President Donald Trump, which caused a global anger.
The reaction quickly spread online with hashtags such as #canceldisney and #cancelhulu trends while people placed screenshots of their cancellations.
A large number of subscribers said they would not return, even if Disney lowered his prices and showed the depth of frustration.
Celebrities added fuel to the movement, as Tatiana Maslany encouraged her Instagram followers to also cancel Disney services.
While Misha Collins confirmed on X that he ended his subscription and wanted Wheaton to encourage a national cancellation day, while Noah Centineo shared the proof of his own cancellation on Instagram.
However, the decision to draw Kimmel’s show came after Nexstar Media refused to air ABC -Gelioderde Enterprises.
FCC chairman Brendan Carr also criticized the comments, which Disney placed damage, among other things. But instead of the calming situation, the suspension led stronger criticism of proponents of free speech, political commentators and entertainment fans.
In addition, industry experts warned that continuous cancellations can damage the streaming income.
The company tried to recover customers with discounts, but subscribers showed little interest.
Observers said that Disney’s reputation was now at stake, and many waited to see if the company would change his attitude or bring Kimmel back.
