Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

I heard the new streaming service keeps crashing. I was going to sign up and get the free week just to watch old Simpsons episode to see what they censored out of them but I think I may wait.

My gut tells me their stress test in the Netherlands wasnt rigorous enough because the Dutch are lazy

Occasionally it says what I’m trying to stream is malformed data, but it’s mostly been working fine for me

People are still hung up on the ‘main character poc’s in disney movies always turn into a nonhuman’ ex: Brother Bear, Princess and the Frog. But they forget that the transformations themselves are the crux of both stories and all characters learn more about themselves while being something else. But nah, that’s racist. Soul sounds like it’s its going to be a nice introspective character driven movie, I’d watch it.

Any word if it downloads with yt-download or whatever?

No: to them the only way for POC to be represented is to not be characters

To keep the cycle of Jedi autism a-flowin', Disney+ has made yet another entirely new edit for the "Han shot first" scene from Star Wars: A New Hope, due to this being the latest version made by George that he wanted used right before the acquisition.

Now it's Greedo who shot first, by a...surprisingly wide margin in comparison to all of the other previous edits.

Disney+ features yet another recut version of the cantina showdown with Han Solo.

Just goes to show, no matter who's heading it, no matter how many people involved with the movies either leave or die of old age: changing this one scene and never getting the thing right will forever be a universal constant.

(Debated on whether or not to post this in the Star Wars Griefing Thread, but figured it'd fit here, since we were talking about Disney+ changes.)

Why does George keep feeling the need to ruin this

 

[Notgoodwithusernames]

The whole thing is just stupid. George thought the scene made Solo look like a cold blooded killer..... except it doesn't. Greedo was pointing a gun in his face Han was totally justified in shooting him

 

[UnKillFill]

And yet he had no problem with Indiana Jones shooting a guy with a sword.

When Star Wars came out George didn't plan Han to get the girl
After he got the girl he wanted Han to always be a good guy

 

[Trilby]

What's in The Ugly Dachshund that's not politically correct?

Someone probably smoked a cigarette.

Or is this a generic label being slapped on everything pre-2010?

Wouldn't surprise me if they'll go that direction with these.

 

[Someone in a Tree]

Someone probably smoked a cigarette.

Maybe the word “wiener” is used a lot.

Probably, who knows what they scrutinize in these older films.

 

[Thank Fuck For Evil Otto]

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

Not just cropped, but vertically compressed as well! What hackery!

Disney Plus Warns Users Older Movies Have ‘Outdated Cultural Depictions’

The newly launched Disney Plus has no shortage of content, ranging from original animated classics to live-action remakes and “Star Wars” offshoot “The Mandalorian.” With that deep library, Disney is offering a warning that some of the streaming platform’s older content has “outdated cultural depictions.”


Films like “Dumbo,” “The Aristocats,” “Lady and the Tramp” and “Jungle Book,” some of which were made nearly 80 years ago, offer a disclaimer saying,” “This program is presented as originally created. It may contain outdated cultural depictions.” Since its initial release in 1941, “Dumbo” has been criticized for including a version of vocal blackface, while “The Aristocats” and “Peter Pan” have been the subject of scrutiny for racist depictions of characters.


Before such movies plays, another message appears that reads, “The cartoons you are about to see are products of their time. They may depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in American society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. While these cartoons do not represent today’s society, they are being presented as they were originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed.”

No plug forthcoming. Let’s be clear, Disney did harm. A lot. The only question is how to best address this. If the consensus from those directly harmed is that we need stronger wording you will receive no argument from me. Many have referenced the WB. Here is that wording. pic.twitter.com/X9aGjXv97o

Disney’s controversial 1946 film “Song of the South,” which inspired the ride Splash Mountain and features the song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah,” is entirely absent from the platform, presumably due to criticism for its depiction of freed slaves.


Disney Plus currently offers over 500 films and television shows. Since its launch Tuesday, the streaming service has signed up over 10 million users.

Apparently the r/movies thread on this article was so inflammatory that they locked it:

Better that they warn you about the outdated cultural depictions in the films than outright censoring them. Now you don't have to watch it if you get offended.

 

[Manwithn0n0men]

So sitting and thinking more and more....Nothing in the Vault is really something I view as particulary rewatchable. All the Nostalgia bait stuff was like "Man...I remember when this was a thing"

My final judgement: Dont get this till it has a better volume of stuff

 

[AnAspieWithAVengeance]

I might give this a miss and cherry pick shows via 3rd party sites. That or Disney can be smart and use the DVD/Blu Ray route for their shows.

*now it's your own fault when you get offended.
