I get that but there is no reason to point it out. The two dont go hand in hand. This notion that they only cast a Latina actress because of her race and to be progressive is just as bad a thing to perpetuate. Is it not possible that she got the role in her own merits? He can be upset about dwarfs without saying anything about the actress. If hed be fine with dwarfs as long as the lead was white because then at least it wouldnt be just half progressive then hes wrong.He didn't say that she was cast as a token in their bid to be progressive. He said it was progressive that she was cast. Quite a difference between those two things.
I get his point, I disagree with his idea. We need to stop acting like a Latina getting this role is just because theyre trying to be progressive. Its worth noting because this is new for the industry. Breaking down walls and allowing anyone to play any role regardless of their race is a good thing that needs to be normalized. (The fact that there will be people questioning a Latina Snow White [as someone itt already did] means we arent quite there yet). But a Latina playing Snow White is not the same as deciding not to cast little people.
disney sucks and everything they touch turns to ash
their main business is farming out stuff they own the rights to, made by ppl more talented than they ever were.
even the best stuff they just fucking stole (Aladdin, lion king, little mermaid).
toy story was great as pixar was just starting out... didn't take long for disney to ruin that studio either.
Hope no one mentions Tiptoes to him - He'd lose his mind...
You are seriously complaining about their classic 80s and 90s movies being stolen. LolThey are stolen they haven't had a fucking original idea their entire existence. Even Steamboat Willie was stolen.

i'm trying to think of any artist in any field who has had a truly original idea during the life of disney, inc. i'm having a hard time
all art steals from previous art, is how i;ve always thought of it
