Michael Moore is blasting Disney for releasing a patriotic film after refusing to distribute “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

The movie company had said that it didn’t want to release Moore’s Bush-bashing flick because it didn’t want to be involved in politics, then it distributed “America's Heart & Soul,” a pro-America film that is being promoted by Move America Forward, a group that had tried to block’s Moore’s flick.

“Disney joining forces with the right wing kooks who have come together to attempt to censor 'Fahrenheit 9/11' must mean that Dumbo is now in charge of the company’s strategic decisions,” Moore said in a statement posted on his web site. “First, Disney tried to stop the movie from being released and now it is aligning itself with the very people who are trying to intimidate the movie theaters from showing the movie. Even Donald Duck would tell you this makes no sense.”
