How fucking sad is it that they literally had to change the look of the characters' faces from the comic source because Noelle's art is so hideous.

Nice comparison, although I'd compare it from being a Adventure Time ripoff to being bootleg Anna from Frozen

Still looks a hell of a lot better than the comic though. Which is sad, I agree.

All I know is that Disney still felt like Disney under Eisner. Not this weird eldritch dystopian entity hellbent on harvesting chinabux and children's souls.

For what it's worth all the major studios have been eager to get their big releases officially released in China since the regime no longer heavily restricts how many foreign movies are released there a year. It's not exactly a secret. They all factor it into their budgets and salaries now, guaranteed.

Oof.

EDIT: God, I just read the plot on Wikipedia, and it’s just crammed full of “racial issues” in the plot. Also, look how complicated this family is.

Good thing they're not ruining something good by pozzing it.

But was the shooter disturbed simply because he was told he was evil for being born a white male? Methinks there'd be less cases of school shooters if boys weren't treated like fucking garbage just for being born male.

There's a interesting blog post about a Disney writers and the hidden skeletons in Disney's closet.

Confessions of a Disney writer​

By Stella Paul

For many years, I made my living writing TV shows for Disney. I was proud of my work, considering it a privilege to make kids laugh all over the world. But in light of Disney’s disastrous embrace of pro-pedophilia policies, I’m glad that I grew disillusioned with kids’ TV and walked away from the field.
Every kids' TV writer knows that when crafting a story, you have to be careful about “modeling behavior.” Whatever kids see, they imitate, so you should “model” positive traits in your scripts, particularly when writing for pre-schoolers. Imagine inserting a pint-size Larry David character in your story who was obnoxious, argumentative, and sneaky. Inevitably, you’d get back notes from the story editor telling you to revamp the script to avoid modeling negative behavior.

So Disney’s recent commitment to “add queerness” wherever possible can’t be explained as just trying to teach tolerance and inclusivity. The executives know that by showing “queerness,” they are modeling queerness and encouraging kids to imitate that behavior.
In fact, Disney has had issues with sexualizing children for a long time. Cole Sprouse, a former Disney Channel star, recently noted that he and his co-star brother both suffered trauma from their acting career. He added, “The young women on [Disney Channel] were so heavily sexualized from an earlier age than my brother and I that there’s absolutely no way we could compare our experiences.”

You only need to witness the spectacular flameouts of Disney child stars Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan to wonder what traumas changed them from adorable ingenues into hypersexual vixens. Tracking the endless legal troubles, destructive addictions, and mental breakdowns of former Disney stars has become almost a parlor game, as in this depressing article, “20 Child Stars Ruined By Disney.” What on earth happened to those beautiful kids that destroyed their sanity?

We do know that Disney has a history of exposing their young actors to convicted child molesters. Brian Peck served 16 months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of molesting a Nickelodeon child actor. One year after his release, Disney hired him to work on the children’s series, “Yay, Me! Starring London Tipton” and “The Suite Life of Zak and Cody.” Victor Salva served 15 months in jail for raping and videotaping a boy who was acting in a film he directed. Nevertheless, Disney hired him to direct the film Powder.
And then there’s the case of James Gunn, the hugely successful writer-director of the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films. Disney fired Gunn in 2018 after his disgusting sexual tweets about young boys prompted an outcry. Disney’s honcho publicly proclaimed that Gunn’s tweets were “inconsistent with our studio’s values, and we have severed our business relationship with him.” But that didn’t last long. A few months later, Disney quietly rehired Gunn to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3, after various stars of the series wrote an open letter begging for Gunn to come back. So much for studio values.

Parents are now furious about Disney’s woke agenda to sexualize children and they’re organizing and protesting. Will their consumer boycotts of Disney’s products and theme parks have a long-term impact on Disney’s bottom line? It’s too soon to tell, but Disney’s hostility to traditional family values is not winning them friends and their brand magic seems to be evaporating.

As for me, I’m glad to be an ex-Disney writer now. My disillusionment with the entertainment industry began with the 2003 Academy Awards, when Meryl Streep led a standing ovation for Roman Polanski, who pled guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl. What was wrong with these people? Were they all sick? As I learned about Disney’s problems with hiring sex offenders and the predatory nature of so many in the business (Watch the documentary An Open Secret to learn more), I grew increasingly uneasy about participating in a field permeated by pedophiles.
Kids now live in a world of immersive media, spending up to nine hours a day watching or using screens. Their connection to physical reality is diminishing as their saturation in programmed imagery increases. This unhealthy situation leaves their malleable minds frighteningly ripe for exploitation. Adults must wage war to protect their innocence. Taking down Disney would be a major victory in the battle to restore the sanctity of childhood.

No, but it's funny how so many people saying they were canceling their Disney Plus subscriptions this year were saying they were going to cancel them last year when the lady got fired.

Almost like boycotts like these have little-to-no effect and people like her are just props who are discarded when they're no longer useful.

If you don't believe me, look at how big an effect the SBC's boycott of Disney had.

Disney labels Tinker Bell, Captain Hook as 'potentially problematic,' per report


WASHINGTON (TND) — While going through its library of content for films and shows to put on its streaming service, Disney has reportedly labeled a few of its beloved characters as "potentially problematic," according to a report from the New York Times.

Tinkerbell and Captain Hook from the classic 1953 Disney animated movie "Peter Pan" reportedly fall under the category of characters who could possibly require a disclaimer on the Disney+ streaming service, as they could be seen as perpetuating negative stereotypes.

The NYT article says Disney's version of Tinker Bell, based upon J. M. Barrie's 1904 play "Peter Pan" and its 1911 novelization "Peter and Wendy," was flagged for concern because Tinker Bell is jealous of Peter Pan's attention toward Wendy, and because she is "body-conscious."

Captain Hook, who famously has a prosthetic hook where his hand would be, was reportedly flagged because he exposes Disney to accusations of prejudice against disabled individuals due to his villainous nature.
Disney's "Stories Matter" team was responsible for flagging potentially problematic characters and sending their findings to senior leads at the company, current Disney executives reportedly told the NYT.

"Stories shape how we see ourselves and everyone around us. So as storytellers, we have the power and responsibility to not only uplift and inspire, but also consciously, purposefully and relentlessly champion the spectrum of voices and perspectives in our world," Disney's Stories Matter Team says on its website. "As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, we are in the process of reviewing our library and adding advisories to content that includes negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures. Rather than removing this content, we see an opportunity to spark conversation and open dialogue on history that affects us all. We also want to acknowledge that some communities have been erased or forgotten altogether, and we're committed to giving voice to their stories as well."
"We can't change the past, but we can acknowledge it, learn from it and move forward together to create a tomorrow that today can only dream of," the Stories Matter Team says."

Another reported example of a potentially problematic Disney character is Ursula the Sea Witch from Disney's 1989 animated classic "The Little Mermaid."

The NYT article says Disney's team was concerned Ursula could come across as "queer-coded," and therefore her flamboyant behavior is potentially homophobic.

Also, as Ursula is of dark complexion and of a darker, light-purplish skin tone, the villainess was also reportedly a potential target of critics who would see her as a possible racist depiction.


Disney's "Stories Matter" team has been placing advisories on the company's content and products whenever potential problematic content is flagged and acknowledged. The advisory appears before the content is played.

"This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together," the content advisory reads. "Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe."


Examples of content deemed necessary to receive the advisory by Disney include the animated movies "Aristocats" and "Dumbo."

In Aristocats, a cat with slanted eyes and buck teeth is noted by the team to be "a racist caricature of East Asian peoples." In Dumbo, a murder of crows who perform musical number is noted by the team to be an "homage to racist minstrel shows, where white performers with blackened faces and tattered clothing imitated and ridiculed enslaved Africans on Southern plantations."

Peter Pan is also a recipient of the advisory warning, as the team says the animated film portrays Native Americans in a stereotypical manner.

A celebration between the "Indians" and Peter Pan after the titular character rescues Princess Tiger Lily has characters engaging in "dancing, wearing headdresses and other exaggerated tropes, a form of mockery and appropriation of Native peoples' culture and imagery," the team says.

The Stories Matter Team is consulted by third-party organizations, such as the African American Film Critics Association, GLAAD Media Institute, and the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, among various others.

Well, that explains it. And yet, they'll still say jack shit about the censoring of their "gay" and "diverse" (read: black) characters over in Chyna. I can only hope that this company's death is slow and painful.
