Their new stuff is going to be the death of them, no one cares about the new Star Wars for example. Imagine some actual old trilogy attractions. They got the license to basically PRINT money with Nostalgia and their approach is...to go for new stuff that no one gives a fuck about or is a slap on the face of the original fans. Go to hell Disney, I'll be sitting here munching on some popcorn while I watch you burn to the ground.
I wouldn't say it pushed no agenda, but it was smart enough to keep most of it in the background and focus on actually telling a solid, worthwhile story first and foremost.
Lil Gideon was a thinly veiled stereotype of Rush Limbaugh.
The two main cops were gay.
In general the 'villains' were always some form of Americana, white men or rich people.
In that sense, though, it was about as 'woke' as the Simpsons before 2020 when they were forced to go 'woke'.
I was thinking with Hank Azaria and the rest of the cast saying that they wouldn't do voices of people that weren't THEIR race - ergo - no more Apu stories.
Little things. Mabel constantly getting things her way no matter how much of a brat she is while Dipper can't get away with nothin', the gay cops. Things like that.
It's more good than bad, but you can definitely tell it was made when the culture war was starting to ramp up.

Meanwhile Universal can't get rid of the ET ride.
Problem is Gravity Falls was amazing and is fondly remembered, so we can't have that as it didn't push no agenda
