Disney has recently been trying to avoid approaching hot-button political issues such as removing a transgender storyline from an upcoming animated series.

Walt Disney Co. and its chief executive have made a sharp pivot since doubling-down on diversity and inclusion efforts in the wake of George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis four and a half years ago.

Disney ’s recent decision to pull a transgender storyline from one of its upcoming movies appears to be its latest attempt to avoid generating political controversy after the company became the center of a debate over “wokeism” last year.

The 1st animated presentation of an NBA game will be shown on ESPN2 and also stream on Disney+ and ESPN+ this Christmas.

There's a Christmas Day basketball game at Walt Disney World, featuring Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Wemby. An animated game, anyway. The real game takes place at Madison Square Garden, where Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs face the New York Knicks in a game televised on ABC and ESPN and streamed on Disney+ and ESPN+.
