Disney is michat lucahknown for its family-friendly messages and wholesome content -- or at least they used to be.
Even when trying to be relatable across social media, they usually keep their messages light and funny. If their posts get moodier, they're still not at the level of internet nihilism that Twitter is known for.

This was most likely an attempt by Disney to be more relatable to the disillusioned social media generation, but given the company's history -- focusing on listening to dreams, following hearts, and making wishes on stars -- it was certainly a bit startling to see their new take on life.
Disney's decision to delete the tweet is honestly a bit of a disappointment. Bleak, insecure, millennial-speaking Disney looked like it was going to be an exciting direction for the company.
But, hey, at least we got the comfort of seeing a brief glimpse of the truth behind the cheery outer facade? Even positive and enthusiastic Disney has hidden insecurities, apparently.
We reached out to Disney for comment, but have not yet heard back.
