Dutch comedian ⁢Arjen Lubach responded on Thursday to the cancellation of American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel‘s program, addressing the situation on the RTL program LUBACH. ABC,⁢ a subsidiary of the Disney group, ​pulled kimmel’s show following controversial comments made about the ⁢murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Prior to⁤ the cancellation, President Donald Trump had publicly called for Kimmel’s dismissal due to​ the host’s criticism of the former president.

Trump’s Influence and Disney’s Alleged ‌Subservience

Lubach asserted that Donald Trump is actively working to silence ⁣dissenting voices. He suggested Trump wields notable influence over major ⁤corporations, even extending to entertainment giants like ‌Disney, characterizing‍ the latter as being ‍”like death” for Trump. Lubach’s response took the form of a satirical compilation video, re-editing scenes from classic⁣ Disney films to portray ‌a narrative favorable to Donald Trump.

The parody features several pointed alterations. In Beauty and the Beast, Belle’s father expresses approval of himself and attempts to claim Belle as his own. A scene from Aladdin ‍depicts‌ the titular character surpassing princess Jasmine, with⁣ the American⁢ immigration service, represented as “Ice,” taking Jasmine‍ away.

Satirical References ⁢and‌ Disney’s Silence

The popular song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto is repurposed as “We Don’t Talk About Jeffrey,” a‌ clear reference to convicted billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was known to be a friend of Trump. Furthermore, Princess Anna from Frozen is shown telling ‍her snowman companion, Olaf, that ⁤his existence‌ disproves the reality of climate change.

Disney’s Dutch branch released a statement on⁣ friday indicating they would not be issuing a response to the video.
