When Disney takes to twitter, we are used to getting pics of the new hottest merch at the parks, recipes for those cute little Diney-fied snacks or maybe even a quiz or two about which Disney Princess you are.The internet has reacted in every way possible after Disney sent tweeted out a meme featuring a lifeless Pinocchio with a caption that was a tad morbid yet still rather relatable.
The internet has reacted in every way possible, but in this macabre post from the ever magical and happy company, it seems Disney may have finally found their meme game. The gravity of the tweet was further intensified as Disney captioned the post: “Makes no difference who you are.”
Here is a look at the deleted tweet:

A lot of the comments discussed how so many of Disney’s movies from classic to modern are already dark and is this is nothing new for disney
“More than half of all Disney movies since 1937 have featured a primary character with a dead, missing, or single parent.”

You never watched Pinocchio, Gargoyles, Toy Story films, The Little Mermaid, Hunchback of Notredame did you? Sometimes the most brightest of cartoons have the darkest themes.

Many found it relatable and funny and took it in good humor.
