On December 2, 2023, writer Merab Ratishvili shared a photo on Facebook with the description: “Disney made a cartoon about the leader of the Clinton clan, who was exposed in pedophilia. Such immoral entities ruled the US and “taught democracy” to the rest of the world.” The published photo shows an animated poster in which former US President Bill Clinton is on a plane with underage girls. As shown on the poster, the name of the movie should be “Magic Island” and it was filmed by “Pixar”, a company owned by “Disney”. Along with Clinton, the names of Jeffrey Epstein and Guillain Maxwell are also mentioned on the poster.
In addition to Facebook, the photo was shared with similar descriptions on other social networks, including TikTok, Instagram, and X (former Twitter).
The post published by Ratishvili contains a number of false claims. Namely:
- Disney and Pixar did not make the movie shown in the post and therefore the photo is fake
- No one has made official accusations of pedophilia or sexual abuse against Bill Clinton
- The animation shown on the poster does not exist
The websites of Disney and Pixar list all their products, but there is no entry for the animated film shown in the photo. “Magic Island” is also not listed on the Internet Movie Database IMDb, which lists movies and shows announced by Disney Studios.
The mentioned photo was shared on various social media platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, X (former Twitter), and Instagram between October and December, and gained many views. The photo has been allegedly created by artificial intelligence, although the date of creation is unknown. As a result of the photo reverse search, the oldest version is found on a Russian-language forum, where it was uploaded on October 3, 2023, along with similar photos on this topic without captions. The original post provided the following description: As always, we were asleep during a new round of Mime Wars. I am looking for the funniest creations created by our English brothers.” On October 6, the X account RAW EGG NATIONALIST published the same photo. In the description, the user wrote: “Pixar presents “The Lolita Express.” In a few days, the mentioned photo was spread with different decorations and captions, although their content is identical to the information spread by Ratishvili.

No one has exposed Clinton of pedophilia
Rumors about Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the USA, being a pedophile and a sex offender have been circulating in the past, but, in fact, no one accused him of such a case, and therefore, no such charges were officially brought against him.
Such rumors about Clinton were spread because he had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was an American financier and multimillionaire who had close relationships with influential people, politicians, and celebrities of various industries. He spent 13 months in prison in 2008 for having sex with a minor, and in 2019 he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, but before the final verdict, Epstein died in his cell. According to the official version, he committed suicide.
Bill Clinton flew in Epstein’s plane several times in the early 2000s and met him in person many times. In addition, several victims of the multimillionaire mentioned that together with Epstein they also met the former president, including on the island belonging to the financier. However, it should be noted that none of them have claimed that Bill Clinton mistreated them or committed any crime. Nor are they convinced that the former president knew anything about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. In 2019, a spokesperson for the Clinton Foundation said Clinton had “no knowledge whatsoever of his conduct.”
