Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

Song of the South was never going to make it anyway.

I wonder if I VPN it if it will be on in other countries

That would be interesting if some country like Japan or Europe gets it anyway.

Don't see where this Song of the South adoration here is coming from. Aside from the race controversy the film is just mediocre, nothing really worthwhile to watch.

Other then classic disney animation of classic african american folk tales [which was hyper racially progressive for its day]

He's not non-human he's a disembodied spirit. The movie is about a dude dying and possibly being in some suspended state between life and death. Most of the movie is supposed to be told via flashbacks.

And all the arguments about not having enough black MCs always ties back to people not wanting to see the movie but people wanting to buy shit to show off on social media like worshiping some golden calf. Disney has plenty of non-white MCs especially considering that the majority of their characters are non-human to begin with.

These retards think you can just force people to like a character if you throw enough cash behind it, Star Wars already proved that to be not true.

I think if it weren’t for the fact that it has some really great (and famous) songs, there would be a lot less people calling for its release.

Classic African-American folk tales as collected by a white guy and retold in dialect that today reads somewhere between impenetrable and offensive, remember.

The Splash Mountain gift shop, about a decade back, sold copies of modern retellings of the Uncle Remus tales that aren't in impenetrable dialect, so I can't fault Disney for not letting kids know the history behind them.

The fact that it has the reputation it does is why anyone wants it released, period; Disney's squeaky-clean reputation doesn't mix with racism, after all.

back when it came out everything was collected by a white guy

Except it's not good enough, and will never be good enough, because the non-human characters are pretty much universally white-coded. And non-whites literally can never identify with someone white. Or something. If you ask I swear that's basically the answer they'll give.

It also works in reverse too, in that whites can never, ever, ever identify with non-white characters, except for them because they're woke and understand. Same thing applies for gender and sexuality too. I especially hate the latter line of a thinking because by their logic that means I can never watch a movie or show (or read a book) with a male protagonist and be able to like or identify with them in any sort of way.

Entertainment just gets ruined because of this over-thinking.

I found the thing about how Bill Nye used to be one of those wandering entertainer people at Disney World before he did the live action bits for the Back To The Future cartoon.

I’m not sure where I saw it, but Disney+ will present The Simpsons in its original aspect ratio. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow if that’s true.

Aaaaaand it looks like The Simpsons is zoomed in for a widescreen presentation even though it looks like Disney’s older films and TV shows are shown in 4:3. Hopefully they’ll fix this, but it’s pretty disappointing that Disney is showing a lack of care with something they acquired as opposed to something they created.

Not hard to find Song of the South in HD online if you really want it, some fans did a scan of a 35mm print, has damage from age but still looks a hell of lot better DNR nightmare disney did to the blu rays of sword in the stone and many other pre 90s animated movies from them, they are even doing it with the shot on film Marvel stuff with the new 4k blu rays

Spoiler: Disney DNR fuckups

They also crop some of them for some reason

What they did to Sword in the Stone was a travesty.

In the case of Robin Hood being cropped, I'm sure that was merely due to the "open-matte" approach they had with that film (as was the case in those days), it could be seen both ways and Disney chose the cropped widescreen approach.

From what I've seen in updates, Dumbo is left alone on there, but is giving an advisory notice for it's description (stating "outdated cultural depictions"), I suppose that was the best they could do than to drag Leonard Maltin out for another go. Several others films are said to have these warnings too!

well Robin Hood also has DNR so still a bad job either way.
As for the disney+ disclaimers that better than what they did to fantasia

Oh well, a lot of the "Xerox-employed" films pretty much are ruined thanks to it.

Yes, poor Sunflower.

And, honestly, that is the right way to do it. That’s not too far off from what the Looney Tunes DVD releases did back in the day. Acknowledge that the movie was a product of its time and allow the parents to determine if they want to show it to their kids.

What's in The Ugly Dachshund that's not politically correct? Or is this a generic label being slapped on everything pre-2010?
