Next up on the woke left’s target list is apparently the Disney character Tinkerbell as the groomers at Disney are dumping the character at its parks.
According to Longview News-Journal, Disney World has dumped the famed Peter Pan character from its meet-and-greets because the character was “flagged internally for its controversial portrayal in films.”
Tinker Bell, a character from Disney’s (DIS) 1953 “Peter Pan” movie, first disappeared from Disney World during the Covid pandemic, along with every other character, as closures shut down the entire resort. When the theme park reopened, Tinker Bell never returned, and now her signage has reportedly been removed from Town Square Theater at Magic Kingdom, the only location where she used to conduct meet-and-greets with fans.
Banners at the theater now only inform guests that they can meet “Master Magician Mickey Mouse,” and the only other places to spot Tinker Bell at the resort is during the Festival of Fantasy Parade, where you can see her waving at fans on the Peter Pan float. Fans can also see her take flight over the Magic Kingdom Park after the “Happily Ever After” fireworks show.

Tinker Bell has reportedly faced scrutiny from Disney’s Stories Matter team ahead of the debut of Disney+ in 2019. The team reportedly flagged and labeled the character to Disney executives as “potentially problematic,” claiming that she is “body conscious” and “jealous of Peter Pan’s attention,” according to a 2022 report from The New York Times.
Tinkerbell may be “problematic,” but apparently drag queen dressed up as women and men pretending to be female characters is not problematic at all.
As The Blaze notes:
Disney has in recent years reportedly taken to having transvestites assume the roles of certain iconic female characters in its parks. Apparently, the company — growing increasingly synonymous with box office bombs — saw an opportunity to deprive actresses of at least one more female role at the Magic Kingdom: Tinker Bell.
Too true.
