Disney shaped our perspective of the world as a child. Disney's characters, movie plots, outfits and castles are all etched in our minds forever. The Disney stories are also chock full of wisdom as cartoon characters have shared pearls of wisdom over the years. According to statistics, Walt Disney became one of the largest media powerhouses when it bought all the media assets of 21st Century Fox for $71.3 billion, per Investing.com. It was a modest animation studio that became the most influential media giant. Disney expanded from TV to film companies, theme parks and merchandise. We all love the content Disney produces but sometimes even Disney has come up with horrible life lessons and promoted wrong concepts.

They encouraged old-school thoughts and philosophical ideologies that evolved people were not ready to accept.
