CEO Bob Chapek said in a statement, "The killing of George Floyd has forced our nation to once again confront the long history of injustice that black people in America have suffered. It is critical that we stand together, speak out and do everything in our power to ensure that acts of racism and violence are never tolerated." Okay – but can any amount of money end racism and violence? I don't think so.

Splash Mountain, a popular attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, features Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox, characters from the 1946 Disney movie Song Of The South. James Bascomb, Hattie McDaniel and many others who appeared in the film said it is not racist – but Disney refuses to release the movie on DVD or Blu-ray or make it available on Disney+. Following the death of George Floyd, many Disney fans now want to see Splash Mountain re-themed to feature Tiana, Disney's first African American princess. What a fine idea. Maybe Disney can also have a black Donald Duck, a black Olaf and seven black dwarfs.

In Orange County, home of Walt Disney World, there have been 6,056 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 53 deaths.

Disney's Mulan has been delayed multiple times this year because of the coronavirus outbreak but audiences will finally be able to see the blockbuster soon. It just may not be in the theaters.

The film will be available on September 4. Mulan will be released simultaneously in theaters in markets where Disney+ is not available and, of course, where theaters are open.
