Curious what examples you see of Disney or other producers losing money pushing ideology.

It's all over the conservative media platforms. They keep repeating it so people will think it's true. It's not.

I've tried to find the proof but failed. Maybe I misremember something. Maybe it's my wishful thinking.

Although I'm pretty sure I've read something that impertinent pushing of current US values causes aversion and losses in the viewers. Such things are really hard to find, you won't ever find this on a first page of CNN or BBC because it is an inconvenient truth.

But I've found the confirmation that the first point (using big numbers and meta-script) is successful and increases revenue of Disney.
