Renowned Disney director John Musker criticized The Walt Disney Company for prioritizing political messaging over storytelling in recent films.

Musker emphasized the importance of compelling characters and engaging stories over pushing a woke agenda.

He noted that classic Disney films focused on characters and storytelling rather than messages.

Recent box office disappointments and subscriber losses have been attributed to this shift in focus.

Films like 'Lightyear' have faced criticism for prioritizing messaging over story.

Pixar's CCO Peter Docter suggested that the film's failure may have been due to asking too much of the audience.

Musker's call for a course correction highlights the need to prioritize storytelling and characters.

Disney has yet to respond to Musker's criticism.
