Disney's Creative Crisis: The Rumor of a Mexico-Set Sleeping Beauty Sparks Concerns

A Diminished Creative Pool at Disney

The entertainment giant Disney, once renowned for its pioneering storytelling and imaginative characters, appears to be suffering from an acute creative drought. Recent observations highlight a troubling trend: the company allegedly lacks the internal talent capable of developing fresh, compelling stories. Instead, Disney has turned to hiring practices rooted in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, prioritizing checkboxes over creative excellence. Many new hires are accused of being "hacks" or low-caliber individuals chosen more for diversity points than storytelling prowess, leading to a concerning decline in quality across Disney’s recent projects.
