So yesterday the other site shared a photo looking into the show kitchen, at the chocolate machines in there. These were from Savage Brod, so the machines had their logo on the front which is accompanied by an image of an indigenous.

So anyway, that site pointed out that it seems odd amongst all the inclusivity… and well… today that logo is covered up.

It really was an oversight that needed fixing. The company itself has already been in the process of rebranding.

A major oversight… the sad thing for me is the people on the FB post from the other site lamenting cancel culture / wokeness.

Sorry folks, caricatures of people used for companies logos, specifically by companies not run by the group or persons depicted on the logos, don’t pass the sniff test and need to go.

I want to know who saw the post and sprang into action so quick? Local leadership? Someone higher up? They obviously read the sites, just never saw something actioned so fast.

I know I keep saying this in multiple threads, but Disney has really been so all over the place recently in terms of quality.

From one project to the next it can go from more or less classic Disney quality to something which suggests they've forgotten all the principles on which they built their reputation.

Disney has been working very hard to get rid of offensive, harmful images and connections ever since the Spring of 2020. They've done a decent job of it too despite a small number of people attempting to demand that the things removed be restored.

This action was taken across the board, across all divisions including consumables, marketing and social media. They're still settling into a new normal, takes time.

having finally seeing it in person, i’m not that impressed with the new look. the 1 thing that disappointed me the most was i didn’t see the large mickey head rice krispy treats anywhere, of the balls of krispy treats either plain or partially dipped in chocolate. i can only guess they stopped making them.

They haven't figured out how to put M&Ms or Snickers in them yet without the chocolate melting.

I definitely noticed some projects are more “thoughtfully” constructed or put together depending on the location.
