Or, alternatively, take a character like animated Mulan, suck every piece out of her that made her relatable, and turn the secret to her success from "hard work and refusal to fail" to "magical chi powers" or whatever
I assume you're looking for an answer more sophisticated than money?
`
Disney was trying to get that Chinese bankroll, and they have assumed that the people in the West are not only stupid, but only a quarter as concerned with social justice as they pretend to be.
`
They gave Mulan magic powers like she's Naruto or some shit, more or less obliterated the roles of characters like Mushu and Shang Li (<-which a lot of people suspect is because people think he was bisexual), filmed next to concentration camps -- and thanked the people responsible for the concentration camps in the credits, and then lied about it iirc.
`
Mulan's actress herself had the strange audacity to condemn Hong Kong for fighting back from oppression WHILE she herself is a dual-citizen of both China and America
Not to mention Disney has actively and repeatedly censored or downplayed any indication that black people exist on their movie posters marketed in china-- including on movies like Black Panther. Because, idk about the rest of China, but the CCP is apparently actually racist (if the previously mentioned concentration camps hadn't made that abundantly clear). And Disney is apparently more than happy to accommodate their racism and atrocities in every possible way
Boy, you done tripped and falled down the rabbit hole. This was only scratching the surface of what a shitty, horrifying face Disney hides just beneath the surface of "the happiest place on earth"
`
Just to help drive the point home again, though:
`
Disney fired Gina Carano for saying that Nazis taught people to hate the Jewish, and what a dangerous practice that is.
`
Iirc (and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) Disney still has, or did have, a guy who compared the children being kept at the border to Nazi concentration camps. And nevermind the fact that the photo the guy used wasn't even from an American facility iirc.
So, in Disney's eyes:
-Torture; Murder; Rape; Kidnapping; Mutilation; Sterilization; Racism; Imprisonment; Censorship; Erasure; Propaganda; Racism (they double down on it, so why not); Police Brutality; Subjugation; Black-Bagging; indoctrination; "homophobia" -- That's all FINE. Encouraged, even. They will THANK you for it.
`
-Someone they dislike saying that teaching us to hate and bully each other is bad, though.. That's a bridge too far. That's gotta stop
`
`
[The point of all this not being Gina Carano either, btw. She just makes a great contrast for how sickeningly hypocritical Disney really is]
Uuuuuuuuuuggggghhhh......I'm glad I'm not giving any money to Disney anymore.

I'll say I won't pay too much attention to what the actress says about Hong Kong. I doubt she has much of a choice because another actress supported them and then she disappeared.
I mean, unless the CCP actively pressured her to make statements against Hong Kong [which would be a very weird move politically on their part since CCP usually tries to make things like that "disappear" not draw attention to them] she absolutely DID have a choice to not say anything at all
`
I can agree that is, admittedly, a possibility they did pressure her to do it, but I'm a bit of a skeptic.
`
If that IS what happened, than that just makes it even worse. Disney either supporting the subjugation of an entire country... or supporting the subjugation of an entire country AND promoting a more or less hostage situation
