The Dutch television show Lubach <\/i>delivered a scathing assessment of Disney\u2019s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> from U.S. airwaves.<\/p>\n Lubach<\/i>, hosted by comedian Arjen Lubach, spared no punches when discussing the Federal Communication Commission\u2019s successful push to get Jimmy Kimmel Live! <\/i>shut down<\/a> in a clip published to Youtube on Friday. Lubach has the benefit of being far outside of President Donald Trump\u2019s jurisdiction, as the program airs on the Netherlands TV station RTL. The perspective from a television host outside of the U.S. was unforgiving on the censorship and compliance of the last week.<\/p>\n \u201cSo Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s show has been cancelled by Disney, because Donald Trump and a helpful bureaucrat are silencing everyone who dares criticize him,\u201d Lubach said. \u201cTrump has broken the will of these companies.\u201d<\/p>\n The video, which has now gone viral on TikTok<\/a>, is subtitled in English. Lubach\u2019s assessment is one of the harshest televised criticisms of Trump and Disney, which resonates louder amid the silence from prominent American shows like The View.<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cEverything has to be exactly how Trump likes it,\u201d Lubach continued. \u201cEverything has to be MAGA now.\u201d<\/p>\n Lubach then introduced a glimpse into Disney\u2019s future under Trump\u2019s authoritarian rule. It includes several reimagined classics that more closely align with the MAGA political objectives.<\/p>\n \u201cOur Nation is changing,\u201d the screen reads. \u201cIn order to ensure the continued provision of high quality work to our audience, the Walt Disney company acknowledges the necessity of adapting our content.\u201d<\/p>\n Lubach\u2019s MAGA-adaptations include the Disney logo with the Trump tower added in the background, the lyrics of \u201cHakuna Matata\u201d to \u201cHakuna MAGA-ta,\u201d Belle\u2019s father saying \u201cyou\u2019re so hot, if you weren\u2019t my daughter, I\u2019d probably be dating you,\u201d and Aladdin and Jasmine getting snatched off of their magic carpet ride by ICE.<\/p>\n It didn\u2019t stop there. The Encanto <\/i>song \u201cWe Don\u2019t Talk About Bruno\u201d was changed to \u201cWe don\u2019t talk about Jeffrey,\u201d including a haunting insert of Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s face under Bruno\u2019s hood. We also see Bambi\u2019s mother say \u201cTrans women are women,\u201d before being killed and roasted on a spit. The cast of Frozen<\/i> are now climate change deniers, and FCC chair Brendan Carr gets turned into a particularly compliant animated car for an alternate version of Cars.<\/i><\/p>\n The segment ends with the words \u201cThe new Disney. It\u2019s a small world after all.\u201d<\/p>\n The live studio audience cheered for Lubach\u2019s new Disney, which highlight just how fragile<\/a> the Trump administration has become. The segment is getting similar love online. In the comment section of the video, which has been viewed more than 300,000 times, people expressed their approval of the content calling it \u201cperfect,\u201d \u201cwell done,\u201d and something that would \u201cnever be shown on American TV.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWow, they would never show something like this on US TV. I envy people who live in free countries,\u201d one person wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
