>>149271297 (OP)They never did. For god's sake their first production BEFORE Mickey Mouse was created is the Alice Comedies. A show that is Amphibia BEFORE the creator of Amphibia was born, a show about a human girl who goes to a world of cartoony animals.
Disney has ALWAYS been for girls. The only boys who like Disney are extremely young like toddlers. And it doesn't take long for boys to quickly outgrow Disney's feminine soft inoffensive lame trash media because Disney is the most unmasculine company ever.
Disney may have made history expanding the reach animation has in terms of technological details like bringing sound, color, theatrical productions eventually but their media is not something that entertains boys and men by and large. Accept it. Disney is for girls until they die. Anime delivers more cool violence that boys want to see.
