Even the most popular kids show in the world, Cocomelon, is no longer safe for your children. And that isn’t by accident. Hollywood is a machine hellbent on brainwashing your kids, and we’ve uncovered deep ties between the guys who own Cocomelon and–you guessed it–Disney. Cocomelon’s owner, Moonbug Entertainment, was acquired in November 2021 for $3 billion by Candle Media, whose co-CEOs are two former Disney executives, Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs. Mayer worked at Disney in the 90s, until he left to be CEO of….Playboy.com Staggs also worked at Disney in the 90s and was widely viewed as the heir apparent to Iger, but stepped down after Iger in 2016 extended his contract to remain in his role through 2020. But Mayer and Staggs’ ties with Disney didn’t end when they left the company. In July of 2023, Mayer and Staggs were hired by Bob Iger as consultants to–get this–*help Disney redefine its strategy.* Cocomelon has 172 billion views on YouTube and is the #1 and #2 most popular kids shows on Netflix, and they just introduced two Dads encouraging their son to choose whatever feels right. But we know it’s not about what feels right, it’s about what *is* right.
