Yeah, I find the disambiguation page to be unnecessary. Radio Flyer should link directly to the article on the company, with a disambiguation link to the movie at the top of the company page. --

Weak Oppose. I'm not convinced that there is a primary usage. So since the current setup does not break anything, leaving it along is OK.

Support. Just because you make a movie about something doesn't give you the right to the name. It would be like changing the name of Niagara Falls to Niagara Falls (falls) just because someone made a movie about the falls.

Support. This article existed before the movie. Therefore when the movie article was split off a disambiguation page was not needed, only an "otheruse" template at the top of the page. According to
Radio Flyer (film) the movie only made $4.6m so was not particularly significant. I would say that a still-going company is the primary usage ahead of a fifteen year old box office failure (even one with big stars in it).

#18 production
I just removed the following sentence from the article:
While there have been dozens of different versions over the years, the "#18 Classic Red Wagon" with which the company is forever associated has been in continuous production for more than 70 years.citation needed
A sourced sentence along these lines would be good, but the company did not make wagons 1942–1945, so the present form is wrong as well as being uncited.

Manufacturing locale
As a new editor just pointed out, the toys are now (some/all?) manufactured in China. There were a few news articles at the time discussing Radio Flyer as a great American company betraying its founding principles / forced to offshore by burdensome regulation / whatever. We should have a paragraph on that, probably under #History. Anyone else should feel free to write it, as I am unlikely to find the time in the near term.
