Disney’s Tower of Terror
So is Disney blocking distribution of Michael Moore’s new film because Disney caters to families of all political stripes and believes Mr. Moore’s film … could alienate many
, or is it rightwing corporate self-censorship? Some have put it down as a Moore publicity stunt, others have said Disney doesn’t want to jeopardize the tax breaks its park gets from Jeb Bush in Florida. However, another Disney theory has been raised on Alternet:
Disney may have another reason… to reject a film that might offend the Saudi royal family: A powerful member of the family, Al-Walid bin Talal, owns a major stake in Eurodisney and has been instrumental in the past in bailing out the financially troubled amusement park. The project is facing a new cash crunch, and Al-Walid has been mentioned as a potential rescuer again.
Sticking with Disney, I guess it’s really true that Americans really don’t have a sense of irony—it’s the only way to explain their latest ride being called Tower of Terror!
