Internet Reacts to Walt Disney World’s ‘Cannibalism’ Tweet

Walt Disney World doesn’t really seem like the place “where dreams come true” anymore, based on the company’s latest tweets. Over the weekend, the official account for the theme park shared what was intended to be a heartwarming message about family, but it sounded more like Disney was advocating for cannibalism.

“A great meal tastes even greater when you throw in one secret ingredient: your family. #FamiliaFirst,” the tweet in question read.

Shortly after the Walt Disney World account shared the message, Twitter shot back with a swift reaction.

One social media user immediately pointed out the mishap with hundreds of other users following suit and sharing hilarious memes and GIFs. “This phrasing suggests cannibalism,” the user wrote.

Naturally, one Twitter user shared a GIF of the most infamous cannibal in cinematic history, Hannibal Lecter.

The brief clip shows actor Anthony Hopkins wearing the iconic face mask as seen in the Academy Award-winning 1991 thriller, The Silence of The Lambs.

In the movie, Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter is a notorious cannibal that would cook his victims and serve them to unsuspecting guests. Based on Disney’s latest tweets, the character would have been able to get work in the theme park’s kitchens.
