Disneyland apparently has a problem with a certain Orange Man.
The theme park recently removed and replaced a silhouette of a man, probably Walt Disney, holding Mickey Mouse's hand. Some people thought it looked like Donald Trump.
Yep.
Simply based on the hairline in the silhouette, many people in the replies thought that it looked a lot like Trump.
Disneyland's 70th anniversary celebration is already off to a strange start after a new silhouette installed in the Esplanade suddenly vanished with no public explanation from Disney. The figure, meant to depict Walt Disney holding Mickey Mouse's hand, drew immediate attention for its peculiar hairline — one many said resembled none other than President Donald J. Trump.
Then, just like that, days later, it's completely gone.
Now it's been replaced with a new statue that looks much more like Walt.
I mean ... it does look better. But did we really have to change it because a few people thought it looked like He Who Shall Not Be Named?
The decision to quietly pull the display raises even more questions than the original design did. Was the Trump-like silhouette intended to be Walt Disney? If so, why alter his outline to include such a specific and recognizable hairline? If not Walt, then who? And why would an anonymous figure be holding Mickey Mouse's hand in the first place?
...
Given the intensity of the reaction, it's not surprising that Disney opted to remove the piece. What is surprising (though, really not…) is the total lack of transparency about it. For a company that places enormous emphasis on brand storytelling and emotional connection, Disney has once again opted for a quiet retreat instead of engaging its audience.
Umm, I'm sorry Disneyland blogger guy. Sorry that the multi-billion dollar entertainment company didn't brief you before changing the decorations in their park?
Disney people, am I right?
The TDS from some people over an imagined outline of Trump is just hilarious.
