The Realist’s Take
Lights, camera, acción! Disney’s gone all out, making sure that no Latin rhythm or Hispanic heritage is left uncelebrated this month—and let’s face it, year-round. From salsa-stepping shows on ABC to cultural deep-dives on Disney+, it’s an entire theme park of multicultural celebration. So, if you ever felt your entertainment menu was a bit too vanilla, Disney’s saying, “Hold my churro!” and spicing things up!
