    Not even remotely true. Disney pulled the episode in March 2019 after the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland premiered.

        Correct. We don’t need to make stuff up to hate Disney, there’s plenty enough to hate already

        Brooks told The Wall Street Journal: “This was a treasured episode. There are a lot of great memories we have wrapped up in that one, and this certainly doesn’t allow them to remain. I’m against book-burning of any kind. But this is our book, and we’re allowed to take out a chapter.”

        Death of the author, Brooks. You don’t get to tear a page out of an already published book.

        That said, Disney’s decision not to show that episode is a separate one. Both parties suck tbh
