Huh, so that's why they are called wetbacks!

These Disney's live action remakes are only made to extend the copyright of 'their' versions of classic fair tales once the copyright of the original animated films expire. Milking nostalgia from consoomers is just a bonus.

Couldn't they have simply made more direct-to-video animated movies? Or even included those characters in crossover media like House of Mouse or Kingdom Hearts?

As cringy as the direct-to-video movies were, I'd much rather go back to those.

Either Disney+ is enough to make up for the red, either because of nostalgia or morbid curiosity at the films that bombed, or the people running Disney legitimately don't give a fuck and want to run the company into the ground, purely out of spite at Walt Disney, the man himself.

Walt Disney himself was actually pretty based. An idealist who could see and appreciate the beauty around him, unironically supported family values, was hopeful for the future, and hated, absolutely HATED communism.

Things are going to get interesting next year when Florida's anti-Disney law comes into effect.

He was too naive about some things. Like how he was a staunch defender of semites and yet they still threw him under the bus and declared him a hitler-loving antisemite.

A British white guy.

So the black girl wants to shack up with the cute white boy for a better life, in a country that's 99% white.

 

[Premium Gonzo]

Funny as it is the Chinese one does look a lot better. Why they didn't case a better non mong looking actress is beyond me, if you gonna put a black bitch in there make it a Sudanese woman or something.

I'll still fucking pirate it though.

I saw people on twitter arguing that because the race of Ariel wasn't specified she could have been African. That is despite the fact it was written in the 1830s in Denmark (which was entirely untouched by third world immigration at that point) and there is a good chance Hans Christian Andersen might not have seen a black person in his entire lifetime.

The whole "race wasn't specified" argument is extra bullshit because Ariel isn't even Hans Christian Andersen's character. In his fairy tale, the protagonist was simply "the Little Mermaid".

Ariel, specifically, is entirely a creation of Disney and in every depiction from 1989 until now has looked like this:

Saying Ariel's race wasn't specified is like saying that Sebastian's species was never specified: Nobody has to tell you he's a crab, it's obvious.

 

[GenociderSyo]

Actually it was made quite clear she was white:
"When something like a black cloud passed between her and them, she knew that it was either a whale swimming over her head, or a ship full of human beings who never imagined that a pretty little mermaid was standing beneath them, holding out her white hands towards the keel of their ship."
"She peeped out from among the green rushes, and if the wind caught her long silvery-white veil, those who saw it believed it to be a swan, spreading out its wings."
"He fixed his coal-black eyes upon her so earnestly that she cast down her own and then became aware that her fish’s tail was gone and that she had as pretty a pair of white legs and tiny feet as any little maiden could have. But she had no clothes, so she wrapped herself in her long, thick hair. The prince asked her who she was and whence she came. She looked at him mildly and sorrowfully with her deep blue eyes, but could not speak."
"Then the little mermaid raised her lovely white arms, stood on the tips of her toes, glided over the floor, and danced as no one yet had been able to dance. At each moment her beauty was more revealed, and her expressive eyes appealed more directly to the heart than the songs of the slaves."
"The little mermaid leaned her white arms on the edge of the vessel and looked towards the east for the first blush of morning—for that first ray of the dawn which was to be her death. She saw her sisters rising out of the flood. They were as pale as she, but their beautiful hair no longer waved in the wind; it had been cut off."

For years now, I thought Hollywood would do this stuff to cater to the Chinese market. Didn't expect the chinks to do it themselves. For free.

People who are arguing this are morons who never read the story, yes her race was not only specified but her skin was also compared to a rose petal (some stupid translators got it wrong and translated rose petal as rose leaf). Back then the beauty standard was for women to be pale with a touch of pinkness, and many writers when describing this beauty ideal would compare women's skin to a rose petal. She also had blue eyes.

I didn't watch the trailer, but is Prince Eric still a white dude in this?

Yes, hes played by Jonah Huaer King (dollar store version of Timothee Chalamet), Ursula is played by Melissa McCarthy and King Triton is played by Javier Bardem. The rest of the cast appears to be black/asian mix for that extra diversity effect.

Her voice is beautiful, I'll give her that. The way she sounds reminds me of Adriana Caselotti who sang as the original Snow White.

if we're gonna get all geography/biofacts, I'm gonna be a faggot and point out that the melanin adaptation, which comes from chronic generational exposure to high amounts of UV radiation, would not occur in a population that lives in a place where most sunlight does not penetrate

also black people can't swim lol

Is there a water effect in her voice, though? Maybe it's just shoddy camera feed, but if it's not effects, then she's straining her voice to force herself to have that vibrato throughout the song. The notes are too different, too. Like it wants to sound the same, but then also sound different at once, and it's really off-putting.

And here's the thing: She can actually sing.

She's hitting notes in "Part of That World", but the emotion in those notes don't match the melody and it sounds wrong.
