Speaking as a former Disney artist, they don't hire any of the original talent that created these classic flicks. They tend to hire their " woke" twitter pals.
Well, glad to see a former Disney artist chime in. Welcome! I agree. You can just tell its a completely different demographic in the creative areas now. And its for the worse. Wokeness is killing the world, and everything that we used to love has been hijacked.
For years now, my non-white friends have been saying that they don't care for representation if it means taking well-known and beloved characters and suddenly making them black; what they would much, much prefer, are NEW characters who happen to be black, brown and are simultaneously well-developed, rounded and interesting characters you get invested in. Anything else feels like tokenism or like it might actually result in a backlash, because people will be sick of race-swapping for its own sake. This is what my black and Asian friends and colleagues have been saying for years - so I sometimes wonder who all this race-swapping is actually for.
i cna come up with new characters for shows or comic books like if you need a comic book villain i can come up with one like a Assasin called Killer Shadow
It's for Disney to pat themselves on the back and they get to satisfy a certain population that does care. And its usually the twitter crowd. Worst is that Marvel already had gay original characters in their comic books they just dont use them. Instead they like easily editable "representation", because they have to satisfy China by removing them. Disney is all about the money and they may as well stop pretending they care about social issues. They're just riding these trends until they need to change to something else.
In my opinion, "the woke mob" should study how Enchanted subverted the classic fairytale tropes from Disney and made self-referential humors in the most entertaining way. I watched the movie as an adult and still love the movie today because I can feel the joy and creative energy that went into the movie. And of course, it never hurts to have Amy Adams in the lead role.
Dude i loved Enchanted as a child and i still do! Wish Disney would focus on making more movies like this. Their older movies is what made my childhood :(
The animation style is quite important for me if I want to watch it, and the style of this movie never appealed to me. I do understand it is an absolute classic, but it's just hard for me to get into it.
I was a Disney fan from the late 80s until very recently. I feel that their moves have become too predictable and boring, even the ones that aren't remakes. On the other hand, I'm beginning to enjoy movies from other studios such as Dreamworks (which I thought it would be inconceivable). It seems to me that Disney entered another dark age like it did in the 70s and 80s. Hopefully Disney will learn from these recent mistakes and bring about a new Disney renaissance like it did in the early 90s.
My favourite Disney movie growing up was Mulan - she's a strong main character, she has a goal, and she uses her feminine strengths to succeed. It's much more progressive as far as gender roles go than all the woke idiots today. Of course woke people now are claiming she's trans because she had to dress up as a guy literally because women weren't allowed in the army 🤦🏻♀️
I think with movies like Encanto, it shows that there are good movies still being made, even if they aren't as financially successful as other projects, but with the way Disney is going, I just want them to go back to making more original animated movies. If they focused less on making a quick dollar and more on creating new stories that do fit into these diverse roles, then they could have their cake and eat it too. How come I'm making more sense than the multibillion-dollar company?
What I like about Encanto is how they made the powers each familly mermber have just part of them it feels so natural. Usually movies and show that have that famillies with powers will behave 95% like normal people and use their powers only 5% of the time in very specific situations.
When you were talking about manly men being “toxic” in these movies and the emotional man being praised, it made me think of a John Wayne movie. As we know, you can’t get more manly than John Wayne, right? So there’s a scene where he wants to take revenge on a group of men who have kidnapped his nieces and raped and murdered one of them, but his traveling companion stops him, though they get into a huge fistfight. What’s really interesting about that scene is that you see the emotion in Wayne’s character - he’s clearly heartbroken about how these girls have been abused by other men, and while this emotion comes out in this urge to avenge them, he’s feeling great sorrow and righteous anger.
John McClane in the Die Hard films always gets upset when innocent people are killed. He beat himself up when Mr. Takagi was shot, he broke down when that plane crashed, he asked for help when he knew a bomb was in a school, he got mad when one of his coworkers was killed, and he got really mad when the cyber terrorists shut down all the power.
Even Encanto had me a bit pissed by the end. The entire family absolutely slandered Bruno when it's obvious that he was literally nothing like they said. Then, in a flip of a dime, they just act perfectly happy around him. They act like they didn't just collectively badmouth him, and he frankly just deserves better.
The funny thing about them race swapping the fairy (why 90% of the race swap are women?) is that they did it for "representing and inclusivity", but they also removed her other scenes from the original movie so the fairy appears only in one scene it's like in the littler mermaid they race swapped Airel to a black mermaid, but they also race-swapped Carlotta, the maid. a black woman is the servent of a white guy. this is so progressive from Disney (the second time a white maid was race swapped to be a black maid of a white prince) even with being Woke disney sucks
It's quite the shame. They can clearly make a great story that represents the culture of the country that it takes place in quite well (Lion King, Princess and the Frog, Lilo and Stitch, Vaiana) but instead they just choose to make the sexuality and skin colour of their main characters a priority. Characters like Mulan or Tiana were done well in this regard because the story focuses more on their characters and the fact that just like everyone else they have struggles and problems too.
About representing the culture of the country it’s from, they can do that with the fairy tales and myths they can find outside of Europe. There are like countless stories that can be made from those original mythologies, whether they’re European or not, into movies.
I primarily like the old Disney cartoons and movies. Robin Hood Cinderella Snow White The Sword in the Stone Alice in Wonderland. I also liked Lilo and Stitch, Beauty and the Beast, The Tigger Movie, The Emperors New Groove, and the Disney short cartoons with Goofy being my favourite character.
Hans as a villain confused me tbh because it came out of nowhere. I wish they had kept the original idea of making Elsa the villain because it makes more sense contextually. Elsa was shut away and taught to bottle up her emotions while Anna got to run free. Maybe Elsa was mad at her parents for treating her differently and caused the storm which killed them and then set off on a years long plan to kill Anna and place the kingdom in an eternal winter to push back on the fearful citizens. Let it go is a good song but that’s pretty much the only thing that makes Elsa palatable. Otherwise she’s a bad sister, an irresponsible ruler, and an example of what not to do when your emotions get the best of you. Elsa acted pretty selfishly in both movies and never even tried to talk to her sister or take responsibility as queen. Their parents kind of sucked but that didn’t mean Elsa had to be. Elsa is pretty much the dress, the hair, the song, and that’s it. Hans had no logical motivation because he could’ve just kissed Anna and saved summer and became prince of Arendelle.
What's really funny about that, is in the original tale that Frozen was inspired by...she actually is the villain well sort of. She's not so much a villian as she's more a malevolent force. The main heroine, yes you heard me right heroine! Saves her bel9ved, not by killing the evil queen, but by showing him the power of her love. That she through all of her struggles uses what she's endured and shows him, she literally thaws his cold heart with the depth of love.
I think they don't take risks is because of cancel culture. They don't want to wake that dragon.But lately it's being proven that this cancel dragon is just a screeching lizard. We are seeing course corrections. Firing of Victoria Alonso, a key creative in marvel and ordering more phineas and ferb are just recent examples. Honestly this is the beginning of the end of an Era and I am relieved
I'm not kidding. Why is everybody afraid of cancel culture? Even some of my friends are afraid of it. People really need to grow some spine, while tact and mild in their approach to not have to fear this cancel nonsense.
I could say both sides can be toxic, like in Lightyear, everyone was talking about the gay kissing scene, how they are disgusted no one should take kids to see that movie. They made it seem like its some big kiss at the end of the movie, I looked it up online to see the scene, it was a woman in the background giving a subtle kiss, it was literally if you blink you could not see it.
@@BuizelCream most people who are "cancelled" usually get harassed online and even go as far as to send death threats. So i understand why a lot of people are scared of getting cancelled. Personally, i wouldn't care and just deal with anonymous people calling me names
I'm actually 26 and remembered when cartoons were enjoyable and taught smth useful. When the rating said "for everyone", they meant it. These days it's definitely for a certain audience only.
I’m only a little under 10 years younger than you and I also grew up with actually good shows, when I was a kid, Disney was still making hits like WALL-E, up, and Toy Story 3.
Disney used to be so beloved and told good stories. It’s so depressing to see Disney change for the worse, focusing on Identity politics and SJW virtue signaling instead of telling good stories. And they even got rid of making villains! They made so many memorable villains but now they’ve just stopped and it’s sad to see everything from Disney just get destroyed
A prerequisite for being a good writer was to be well versed in the classics and drawing inspiration from them. I feel today's writers only interact with people who are of the same mindset and their work is limited by that interaction.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. It's like they want to build their own legacy with no previous foundation which is really sad. They end up making something full of their own biases and lacking any meaning because they haven't experienced stories different from their own worldview or they're rejecting anything of that kind. The only symbolism will always be things that only mean something to themselves and maybe a few of their friends with a few like minded veiwers catching on. It just doesn't work for a general audience and also ends up being very shallow.
I hated Lightyear. They said it was the movie that inspired Andy to buy the toy, how did Andy come away from that movie wanting anything to do with it? I'm in the camp they shoulda just made a more serious version of the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command tv movie/series. Also the Zurg twist was one of the worst things I've seen in a LONG TIME.
As a cat lover I adored Socks. But that was it. And I don't mind representation , but it's supposed to be a 1995 film. And those didn't do that. So it's trying to have it's cake and eat it.
@@paultapner2769 Soxs was the only redeeming quality in the movie. Representation can work but this is supposed to be an outer space movie. In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, you had Booster who was a dinosaur like alien, Mira Nova a blue skinned redhead and XR a robot android as Buzz’s team. There you have your diversity more diverse then Lightyear
@@frostfang7670 What is funny about diversity and in the case of Disney a lot seems to be just adding more dark skinned characters. Sure they add other races in other projects but you ever start noticing its mainly more dark skinned people they add for their diversity checkpoints?
The Little Mermaid was always my favorite. Ariel was adventurous and curious about learning. She's beautiful and sweet. I loved her bright red hair as a child and she was the first princess to save the prince. She wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted. And the whole movies fun and beautiful and wonderful music. I just love it. Plus she a Mermaid. Who doesn't love that? I'm big into fantasy stuff as an adult I have no doubt Ariel helped that along. 😊
@@rubenazul7421If the live action film wanted a good black mermaid so bad, they could've chosen Gabrielle (or Gabriella, I forget) from the TV series. She was Ariel's friend that went on adventures with her now and then and communicated via sign language since she couldn't speak. There was an episode where she made a wish to be able to sing and although it didn't work, it did teach her that she still had great qualities regardless of her physical limitations. Disney really could've won with this character since she was black AND disabled. As long as she wouldn't be used for pity and actually contributed to the plot, she would've made a great addition to the movie. It's a shame she wasn't used since I adored her character as a child.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my all-time favorites as well. It was so experimental and risky for a company like Disney because of its dark themes but it’s also very beautiful and has a moral that leaves enough room for the viewer to sit and ponder it. “What makes a monster and what makes a man?” After all, Frollo is a villain who is fully convinced that he’s doing what’s best for Paris without realizing until it’s too late that he’s only doing what’s in his interest only while Quasimodo’s actions are more thoughtful and empathetic compared to his adopted father. I’ll tolerate the gargoyles any day to watch that movie all the way through. It’s such an underrated accomplishment from Disney and I wish they had tried to do more projects like The Hunchback of Notre Dame instead of the remakes and lackluster social justice checklist movies.
As a 'feminine' man, thank you for speaking about how black and white media's takes on masculinity are. I work as a therapist but I also love camping and the outdoors. Masculinity, confidence, taking a leadership role, and other masculine traits (especially physical ones) are not bad. Anything dont to excess is bad, we just need a good cast and story to highlight where that line might be in masculinity without needing a purely feminine man as a foil, just a well-adjusted masculine male. Also I fucking love Claude Frollo, especially Hellfire. Ive explored other languages of Hellfire and the heavy-handed emotional deliveries are amazing. Edit: I think a great example of a well-adjusted masculine man is George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. Takes charge, provides for and loves his family, is a hero, but struggles with things he cant control. Doesn't take it out on other people as a character trait though. Is willing to listen to others.
As a man myself, I see nothing wrong with admitting that we, as men, have various mental health struggles just like women do. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t lead or be masculine either, but I’d hardly call admitting we as men have our own mental struggles and feelings to be more on the feminine side either.
Aladdin, Hunchback and Lilo and Stitch are my top favorites. They all took chances with themes. Stitch portrayed a very non-traditional family and had space aliens. Aladdin had a snake getting impaled. And well, you know why Hunchback took chances. 😊
Literally went to Disney world this weekend for my bday! But regardless, above all Walt was a family man, he believed in the American dream, he was a true American. It’s so sad to see what’s happening with something people have loved and cherished for literal generations. Walt would be turning in his grave. Oops I mean his frozen chamber lol 😂
As you can probably guess by my username, my most favourite Disney movie is The Great Mouse Detective. It came out at a very interesting time for the Disney studio: not quite before the "Renaissance" era (between this movie and The Little Mermaid was Oliver and Company) but also right after the disasterous failure that was The Black Cauldron. Even if it's just a retelling of the Sherlock Holmes story, but with little critters like mice, rats and what not, it's still a very great movie with wonderful characters, score and animation! It saved the studio after its last financial flop, and I find it sad that many people write this movie off as a product of Disney's last stages of its "Dark era". Still, it's so, SO much better than what Disney does today. God I can't imagine a remake of TGMD with realistic-looking rodents! Yuck!
IIRC, The Great Mouse Detective is based on the Basil of Baker Street series of children's novels who is pretty much the Sherlock Holmes of the mouse world. He and Doctor Q Dawson, run arround solving crimes in the mouse world.
My favorite Disney movie is Tangled and I think it's actually the LAST "classic" movie Disney has made: it has a well-written story and well-written characters (the characters' personal journeys are incorporated into the plot without overshadowing it), it has a real/truly evil villain, a main female character who's both feminine and strong, no feminism, no random POCs in a medieval-fantasy European setting, and the "prince" saves the princess/true (romantic) love saves the day at the end!
When you go far to one side or the other, you can never understand the other side because it's so polarizing to you, and even trying to come to a balanced ideal is highly unlikely to happen.
Interestingly, Avatar 2 (owned by Disney), had a scene where Jake had to apologize for his wife acting up in front of the (male) chief. He also exhibited a lot of masculinity and traditional values, particularly around raising his family right and honoring the tribe's religion and practices. He was a leader, loving father, and a man of some station. I was honestly waiting for some articles to drop about how "problematic" he was.

It’s good to see someone who still enjoys Disney but is still willing to call out or critique the bad parts of it. I am actually a fan of Twisted Wonderland, and for those who don’t know is a Japanese mobile game where they make new (mainly male) characters based off of the Disney villains. It’s kind of an obscure part of Disney, and not everyone will like the premise, but for me it’s honestly so good that I would argue that it’s one of the best things to come out of recent Disney and it’s not even from the U.S. Otherwise though, I think most of the other things to come out of Disney are just mediocre to bad, and I never liked the turn they tried going on to try making everything politically correct or doing what is trending rather than making endearing stories. Does Disney deserve to be sorely criticized or even boycotted, yes, at least enough for an acknowledgment that this is current method needs to be changed or adjusted. However, I wouldn’t go as far as to say Disney deserves to grow bankrupt as despite its very controversial it’s business practices has been, they are still responsible for creating other characters and series that are still admired by many people, including myself, and wouldn’t want them taken away from them so soon or abruptly. I just want them to stop the current crap they are pulling off.
The ballet commentary was spot on. The lift is a very dangerous part for the ballarinas and being overweight would NOT help them to get a part because the male counter-part would have even more dificulty to lift them up
I’m a 2008 kid, and my whole life I’ve absolutely loved Disney. Encanto was an absolute gem of a modern animated film. Me and the rest of my theater troupe were completely obsessed with it in early 2022
Hunchback is one of the best Disney movies ever made. I remember when I was little back when it came out they had the puppets/dolls at Burger King or McDonald’s. I had every single one lol
Coming from a 26 year old who grew up in the early 2000s, my favorite thing to do after school, one of my favorite things was to pick out a Disney movie and put the vhs tape in the tv and they were usually the 90s classics. That and lilo and stitch that got me to wear hula dance costumes when I went to the beach one time with my friend. I would even go to Disney world every year until I was 17. It’s such a shame that Disney went from being a good impact on my childhood to something I almost despise
@@Thomasmemoryscentral I heard. I’ve been on splash mountain multiple times and it was truly timeless. I wish I could watch song of the south because I’ve never seen that movie
>strong independent male character OMG get that toxic masculinity out of here!!!11 >strong independent female character OMG so strong and amazing!!!!1 Why are males not allowed?
I so agree. After Tangled Disney went downhill. The Renaissance era is my favorite Disney era b/c that was my era of Disney. I will be 30 in September. During the Renaissance era, there was respect for Walt’s vision but nowadays people at Disney don’t even give Walt Disney a 2nd thought 😞
This nonsense has done much more harm than good to Disney it seems, especially last year. I thought the live-action Little Mermaid would be the most woke thing Disney could pump out (though to me, it wasn’t as bad as their Peter Pan or Mulan “remakes”), but I was surprised when I found that Snow White would be worse, with Disney not only checking boxes for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but also for hiring someone just because she was woke and she could sing. She literally hates the original Snow White and wanted to “feminize” it as much as possible. Then you have The Marvels, and… wow. The presence of cats was the only thing really good about it. The rest of it was just a woke mess. And by the way, I ranked all animated Disney films I’ve seen up to Wish on a tier list site, and I have determined that The Lion King is currently my favorite Disney film, followed by Bambi and Fantasia. I also really enjoyed the original Little Mermaid, Encanto (the only great film Disney has made since 2020), Zootopia, Frozen 1, Beauty and the Beast (the original), The Jungle Book (also the original), Dumbo (still the original), Moana, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (the two that Disney is desperate to butcher next). I thought most of the live-action remakes were fine, especially pre-Mulan, but The Jungle Book is the only one that ever wowed me, though I will say that the Alice in Wonderland remake was also excellent. Thank you for highlighting the horrors of modern Disney. I was worried for them since 2017, and it’s sadly worse than I thought it would be.
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".[1][2] Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities, such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.[3]
my favorite disney animated movie is Tangled, Rapunzel is my favorite princess, Flynn/Eugene is my favorite prince and I hope they don't do a live action remake of this movie because they would definitely butcher and destroy everything i like about it
i honestly like gay rep when it isnt forced. like writing a good well developed character that so happens to be gay, instead of only focusing on making a gay character. like instead of making being gay the whole part of a character, simply make it a factor of that character. same with strong independent women, movies like mulan, brave tangled, etc were so well done with the way they wrote the female characters, they didnt just write the females to be the "strong female lead", but actually gave them depth and a story, and development. now a days i find they just throw rep in without actually making a fully fleshed out character, its so annoying. its as if writing has just been replaced with mindless regressive activism
If anything, the liberal left doesn’t understand the definition of being equal. To them, the definition of equality is thinking that they are most important than everyone else and that they should be higher than, better than, and superior to everyone else. Any comments?
I watched Lightyear with the version where all the woke parts cut. I'd say it's a good movie, how Buzz is portrayed to be first not trusting other people but himself to him understanding that he needs to open for other people especially his teammates.
I was ALL ABOUT Mulan when I was little. I liked how she used her prain to get that arrow w. She wasn't just automatically better like how Disney made her in the live action debacle of a remake.
Yea Disney does not care about children anymore over there own toxic agenda. They are starting to go bankrupt and actually letting go some of the companies they bought out. While I feel extremely bad for the animating team forced to adjust for money the management gets what they deserve.
I'd rather let my kids watch Beavis and Butthead or South Park instead of anything Disney. It's sad when those have better standards than the shit Disney shoves in everyone's faces.
I am a Disney nerd.Pocahontas Hunchback of Notre dame and Beauty and the beast are my favourite Disney movies and i absolutely adored them as a kid too. Yeah i know Pocahontas the story isn’t true and in reality it’s something else but why we have to “cancel”(i didn’t cancel it) a whole movie just bcuz it didn’t happen like that in real life. And like it’s a beautiful movie from which we can learn a couple things too about not judging ppl based on race and Ethnicity(pretty much like what’s happening today still in 2023 ppl judge and put names on others bcuz they’re black white native asian or whatever).In my opinion Belle Esmeralda and Pocahontas are the perfect example of strong women who are feminine dreamy imaginative but also smart justice oriented strong and assertive when needed but not overly bratty and always looking for a fight like woke mobs
Hunchback of Notre Dame was one of my absolute favorites as a kid. Its still one of my favorite movies of all time. They took a huge risk with that one, and it really paid off for them. On the topic of the live action movies, while I don't like any of them really at all and think they're all generally soulless to just plain bad, I actually do like the Alice in Wonderland ones. They may not be that great of movies, but they at least tried something different, which I appreciate, even if it didn't quite work out well.
I know it's not a Disney movie but have you ever seen "The Last Unicorn?" It is my favorite animated film and just one of my favorite movies in general. I would highly recommend it!!! P.S. "Hellfire" is my favorite Disney song as well❤
I've been reading a book series about a group of retired military men who take on mercenary contracts -- it's time-killing reading, nothing earth-shaking but enjoyable. But the men deal with loss (three original characters are dead, a fourth permanently disabled as a result of their missions), with the stress and uncertainty of what they're doing (they're hired by the government, but strictly "unofficially"), one character's wife just had a baby, and another's adult son just joined the group. There's more REAL emotion and vulnerability in these characters in popcorn books than in most recent Disney movies.
I love Disney, but they have been declining in recent years. I really did enjoy Encanto & Turning Red though. I loved Frozen. Dreamworks pushed things to the next level with Puss in boots the Last wish.
Dreamworks is doing WAY better than Disney nowadays! Puss in Boots, though he’s a cat, is super masculine, bad@$$, brave, and has a deep voice, just as men should be!
I think Disney should make more movies from traditional fairytales like they used to (like a Hansel and Gretel animated movie for example). Also, I’ve really wanted to see for a long time (live-action Tomorrowland doesn’t count) movies based on original rides/stories from Disney theme parks. Would I love to see an animated space mountain movie with brand new, original characters? Heck yes I would!
I love how you point out the emotional support animals, something a lot of people miss. I'm a big animal person too, but seeing how woke types get attached to them is beyond creepy at times and obviously worrisome from a psychological standpoint. Plus I've known far too many who end up neglecting their dog's need for lots of exercise and outdoor activity because, well, THEY neglect exercise and outdoor activity😯🙄🫡
Yes I thought I was the only one to have noticed this with Disney thank you for bringing it out in one of your videos keep up the good work we love you
The race swapping thing is really weird. If they want to include more black characters and/or other races, they should create new movies and characters. Being inclusive is a great thing, but they don't need to change everything in order to accomplish this. I grew up in the 90s, so thankfully I got to watch all the good Disney movies. All on VHS!! 😊
Disney used to be a king of movies but now is slowly getting covered by DreamWorks and Nintendo. Sad to see what happening to them. All the people want are good stories and characters. is that to much to ask :(
Disney is bleeding and I'm happy... I'm not emotionally attached to anything, not even when my favorite group split up, and my favorite band's lead singer died. I moved on throughout the day as if it's nothing... when things are ruined for me, I just leave them be or just let them die. And that's Disney.
My favorite movie is Lilo and Stitch because of the great story telling. I also adored the Hawaiian music and dancing as a kid and still do. I think Lilo and Stitch also did a great job at representing woman with another figure besides skinny at the time. Nani looked like a healthy normal woman. I also think they handled showing the appreciation of the Hawaiian culture by actually including a dance that was made along with the actual language. Disney stopped taking risks and became dull pretty quick. I get that they wanted to also jump in the wagon of bringing nostalgia and remaking movies especially during the pandemic, in order to get more views. I just hate that they continue and continue to just remake a movie too many times. The only remake I liked was Maleficent the first movie. Trying to be inclusive is starting to be annoying because instead of focusing on a character and growth they are now focusing on if this character will come out or not. Your race, gender, and sexuality is not your whole identity. I wish more people could understand that and get an actual hobby and work on self growth.
it feels like Disney actually promoted diversity in its golden age: Alladin, Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, Emperor’s new groove, Anastasia, the Princess and the Frog, Snow white, Hunchback, etc… without even trying to make it the whole point of the film! and now it is completely opposite: “different” in an alike way characters and cliché.
Just found your channel... thank YOU for what you create! And no... don't really watch too many of the newer movies from Disney... 😔My favorite? Probably the original Mulan... just so fun... good music... a real hero who learns to face her weaknesses while learning about her strengths.💕
Glad to hear that the transgender story is your favorite. It's very inclusive of you. I'm not transgender myself, but I am glad when other peoples' lives are less horrible.
I think I sort of gave up on new Disney films after the live action Mulan, and started sticking to the classics. However last year I saw Encanto in a film class and adored it. It has to be my favorite Disney film ever.
Disney stopped being brave a long time ago. I always say that western animation peaked in the 90s & early 2000s, & I have yet to see anything that proves me wrong. (I attribute the miracle of Encanto to the people behind it not Disney. Still holding out hope for Dreamworks.) Fortunately, Disney is loosing money hand over fist, & will no doubt soon perish. What’s sad is that it’s going to do so a shell of its former self.
I loved the Del Toro Pinocchio. They didn't play it as safe as Disney did. I also have more fun with Pokemon and other Japanese stuff because Japan is mostly old-fashioned with certain things and there's hardly any woke shit there and that's why I love Japan and respect them more than my own country America.
I watched Lightyear because I love the Toy Story movies. I was very disappointed to find it seemed to just be a movie designed to shove a message down my throat. The gay-couple kiss scene, for example. Ok, cool.. but what did it contribute to the story? It was a scene that seemed to only be put in the movie so they could check a box on their inclusion checklist but contributed nothing to the story.
I guess Cruella and Maleficent were greatly done showing the other side of villainhood giving more thought to every sides of a story, not a protagonist who seems perfect but I feel they will not make any such kind of movie.
I actually watched Cruella. It was way better than I thought. It also let you understand how Cruella went from being a decent person to slowly becoming the thing she hated when she was younger.
@@icedriver2207 yes exactly, that was even not expected even fashion was at the next level and looked good than what we just see these days, classic That movie let us think why the villains we thought were bad once and why are who they are. People can make them turn worst and the new woke culture is doing nothing else I feel, I went off the map but tho.
In defense of Strange World, the gay relationship was introduced in the movie very subtle. The main plot was the estranged relationship between the father and son. The movie is not bad, just generic.
You should check out Everything Everywhere all at once. That movie has a lesbian character. However, it’s done WELL! It’s not just to mark off a checkbox. Having diversity is fine, but STORY ALWAYS comes first.
I've watched Lightyear, and I'd say I was satisfied. I didn't find it as woke-heavy as many other of their movies, and I think the plot was enjoyable. But Toy Story 3 will probably still be one of my favourite Disney movies.
I wasn’t even alive when the old Disney movies were made and even I miss it😭 I have hope for the Hunchback live action. I’ll be so sad if they mess it up. I heard rumors they were gonna cast a non Romani woman for Esmeralda🙁

Speaking as a former Disney artist, they don't hire any of the original talent that created these classic flicks.
They tend to hire their " woke" twitter pals.
Oof it hurts my heart.😵💫😬
I can believe that since blank check was everything wrong at the start of modern disney's self degradation.
How's that working out for them?
@@bobhope5114 sadly they clearly don't care. This kinda nonsense happened when I was up at MTV animation back in the day.
Well, glad to see a former Disney artist chime in. Welcome! I agree. You can just tell its a completely different demographic in the creative areas now. And its for the worse. Wokeness is killing the world, and everything that we used to love has been hijacked.
For years now, my non-white friends have been saying that they don't care for representation if it means taking well-known and beloved characters and suddenly making them black; what they would much, much prefer, are NEW characters who happen to be black, brown and are simultaneously well-developed, rounded and interesting characters you get invested in. Anything else feels like tokenism or like it might actually result in a backlash, because people will be sick of race-swapping for its own sake. This is what my black and Asian friends and colleagues have been saying for years - so I sometimes wonder who all this race-swapping is actually for.
THIS!
i cna come up with new characters for shows or comic books like if you need a comic book villain i can come up with one like a Assasin called Killer Shadow
It's for Disney to pat themselves on the back and they get to satisfy a certain population that does care. And its usually the twitter crowd. Worst is that Marvel already had gay original characters in their comic books they just dont use them. Instead they like easily editable "representation", because they have to satisfy China by removing them. Disney is all about the money and they may as well stop pretending they care about social issues. They're just riding these trends until they need to change to something else.
It's for the brainwashed woke people who virtue signal, and can brag about how inclusive and amasing it all is.
Nobody cared about representation until they were told they should care about representation.
In my opinion, "the woke mob" should study how Enchanted subverted the classic fairytale tropes from Disney and made self-referential humors in the most entertaining way. I watched the movie as an adult and still love the movie today because I can feel the joy and creative energy that went into the movie. And of course, it never hurts to have Amy Adams in the lead role.
They completely abandoned that in the sequel
@@OscarMPG1 ouch
@@qwmx then SKIP the Disney plus sequel
@@inazuma3gou define woke and what is the woke mob you are talking about?
Dude i loved Enchanted as a child and i still do! Wish Disney would focus on making more movies like this. Their older movies is what made my childhood :(
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is such an underrated classic. One of my favorite animated movies of all time. Thank you, Misha.
The animation style is quite important for me if I want to watch it, and the style of this movie never appealed to me. I do understand it is an absolute classic, but it's just hard for me to get into it.
I was a Disney fan from the late 80s until very recently. I feel that their moves have become too predictable and boring, even the ones that aren't remakes. On the other hand, I'm beginning to enjoy movies from other studios such as Dreamworks (which I thought it would be inconceivable). It seems to me that Disney entered another dark age like it did in the 70s and 80s. Hopefully Disney will learn from these recent mistakes and bring about a new Disney renaissance like it did in the early 90s.
I want Disney gone from the face of the Earth.
@@garymathis1042 I just wish they would go bankrupt so a person with common sense can buy it and fix it.

The last good movie from Disney was Raya and the Last Dragon

Disney’s mindset:
🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️=💵
My mindset: 🇺🇸=🇺🇸
thats nearly true they just forgot there is -1 multiplyer there
My favourite Disney movie growing up was Mulan - she's a strong main character, she has a goal, and she uses her feminine strengths to succeed. It's much more progressive as far as gender roles go than all the woke idiots today. Of course woke people now are claiming she's trans because she had to dress up as a guy literally because women weren't allowed in the army 🤦🏻♀️
I think with movies like Encanto, it shows that there are good movies still being made, even if they aren't as financially successful as other projects, but with the way Disney is going, I just want them to go back to making more original animated movies. If they focused less on making a quick dollar and more on creating new stories that do fit into these diverse roles, then they could have their cake and eat it too.
How come I'm making more sense than the multibillion-dollar company?
What I like about Encanto is how they made the powers each familly mermber have just part of them it feels so natural. Usually movies and show that have that famillies with powers will behave 95% like normal people and use their powers only 5% of the time in very specific situations.
When you were talking about manly men being “toxic” in these movies and the emotional man being praised, it made me think of a John Wayne movie. As we know, you can’t get more manly than John Wayne, right? So there’s a scene where he wants to take revenge on a group of men who have kidnapped his nieces and raped and murdered one of them, but his traveling companion stops him, though they get into a huge fistfight. What’s really interesting about that scene is that you see the emotion in Wayne’s character - he’s clearly heartbroken about how these girls have been abused by other men, and while this emotion comes out in this urge to avenge them, he’s feeling great sorrow and righteous anger.
John McClane in the Die Hard films always gets upset when innocent people are killed. He beat himself up when Mr. Takagi was shot, he broke down when that plane crashed, he asked for help when he knew a bomb was in a school, he got mad when one of his coworkers was killed, and he got really mad when the cyber terrorists shut down all the power.
Even Encanto had me a bit pissed by the end. The entire family absolutely slandered Bruno when it's obvious that he was literally nothing like they said. Then, in a flip of a dime, they just act perfectly happy around him. They act like they didn't just collectively badmouth him, and he frankly just deserves better.
That's the classic disney "Happily ever after!!" Ending
Tbf, their hatred towards him gave way to a bloody good song.
Sorry but, I think Encanto is the last good Disney movie 😢
@@peter.parker4 For now, it sure seems that way.
@@Unknown-hb3id Yeah, true
The funny thing about them race swapping the fairy (why 90% of the race swap are women?) is that they did it for "representing and inclusivity", but they also removed her other scenes from the original movie so the fairy appears only in one scene
it's like in the littler mermaid they race swapped Airel to a black mermaid, but they also race-swapped Carlotta, the maid. a black woman is the servent of a white guy. this is so progressive from Disney (the second time a white maid was race swapped to be a black maid of a white prince)
even with being Woke disney sucks
@@qwmx but Eric is a man and we all know that only women can be race-swap. duh
More women are race-swapped because the disney progressive activists are predominantly women (including the transmen, non binary, whatever the f)
define woke.
🤔 I never made that connection before, your right it is 90% females being race swapped....
@@qwmx nah they should of made him Mediterranean, he has always looked Phoenician to me, we generally reside in Lebanon and lower Greece.
It's quite the shame. They can clearly make a great story that represents the culture of the country that it takes place in quite well (Lion King, Princess and the Frog, Lilo and Stitch, Vaiana) but instead they just choose to make the sexuality and skin colour of their main characters a priority. Characters like Mulan or Tiana were done well in this regard because the story focuses more on their characters and the fact that just like everyone else they have struggles and problems too.
Most of the movies you mentioned with minority representation were animals - even Mushu in Mulan. So there is that perspective as well.
About representing the culture of the country it’s from, they can do that with the fairy tales and myths they can find outside of Europe. There are like countless stories that can be made from those original mythologies, whether they’re European or not, into movies.
I primarily like the old Disney cartoons and movies.
Robin Hood
Cinderella
Snow White
The Sword in the Stone
Alice in Wonderland.
I also liked Lilo and Stitch, Beauty and the Beast, The Tigger Movie, The Emperors New Groove, and the Disney short cartoons with Goofy being my favourite character.
@Rachel Wood I agree.
All are classics I love. I prefer the old Disney WAY more than the new Disney.
@@rachelwood4664SO IS ROBIN HOOD 😭😭😭
Hans as a villain confused me tbh because it came out of nowhere. I wish they had kept the original idea of making Elsa the villain because it makes more sense contextually. Elsa was shut away and taught to bottle up her emotions while Anna got to run free. Maybe Elsa was mad at her parents for treating her differently and caused the storm which killed them and then set off on a years long plan to kill Anna and place the kingdom in an eternal winter to push back on the fearful citizens. Let it go is a good song but that’s pretty much the only thing that makes Elsa palatable. Otherwise she’s a bad sister, an irresponsible ruler, and an example of what not to do when your emotions get the best of you. Elsa acted pretty selfishly in both movies and never even tried to talk to her sister or take responsibility as queen. Their parents kind of sucked but that didn’t mean Elsa had to be. Elsa is pretty much the dress, the hair, the song, and that’s it. Hans had no logical motivation because he could’ve just kissed Anna and saved summer and became prince of Arendelle.
What's really funny about that, is in the original tale that Frozen was inspired by...she actually is the villain well sort of. She's not so much a villian as she's more a malevolent force. The main heroine, yes you heard me right heroine! Saves her bel9ved, not by killing the evil queen, but by showing him the power of her love. That she through all of her struggles uses what she's endured and shows him, she literally thaws his cold heart with the depth of love.
I think they don't take risks is because of cancel culture. They don't want to wake that dragon.But lately it's being proven that this cancel dragon is just a screeching lizard. We are seeing course corrections. Firing of Victoria Alonso, a key creative in marvel and ordering more phineas and ferb are just recent examples. Honestly this is the beginning of the end of an Era and I am relieved
I'm not kidding. Why is everybody afraid of cancel culture? Even some of my friends are afraid of it. People really need to grow some spine, while tact and mild in their approach to not have to fear this cancel nonsense.
I could say both sides can be toxic, like in Lightyear, everyone was talking about the gay kissing scene, how they are disgusted no one should take kids to see that movie.
They made it seem like its some big kiss at the end of the movie, I looked it up online to see the scene, it was a woman in the background giving a subtle kiss, it was literally if you blink you could not see it.
@@BuizelCream most people who are "cancelled" usually get harassed online and even go as far as to send death threats. So i understand why a lot of people are scared of getting cancelled. Personally, i wouldn't care and just deal with anonymous people calling me names

I’m only a little under 10 years younger than you and I also grew up with actually good shows, when I was a kid, Disney was still making hits like WALL-E, up, and Toy Story 3.
Disney used to be so beloved and told good stories. It’s so depressing to see Disney change for the worse, focusing on Identity politics and SJW virtue signaling instead of telling good stories. And they even got rid of making villains! They made so many memorable villains but now they’ve just stopped and it’s sad to see everything from Disney just get destroyed
@Holly Clara branch: NO IT WAS SINGING!
@hollyclaraI loved Cruella. It was supposed to tell the story from when she was younger and still growing. They never de-villainized her
A prerequisite for being a good writer was to be well versed in the classics and drawing inspiration from them. I feel today's writers only interact with people who are of the same mindset and their work is limited by that interaction.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. It's like they want to build their own legacy with no previous foundation which is really sad. They end up making something full of their own biases and lacking any meaning because they haven't experienced stories different from their own worldview or they're rejecting anything of that kind. The only symbolism will always be things that only mean something to themselves and maybe a few of their friends with a few like minded veiwers catching on. It just doesn't work for a general audience and also ends up being very shallow.
I hated Lightyear. They said it was the movie that inspired Andy to buy the toy, how did Andy come away from that movie wanting anything to do with it? I'm in the camp they shoulda just made a more serious version of the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command tv movie/series. Also the Zurg twist was one of the worst things I've seen in a LONG TIME.
As a cat lover I adored Socks. But that was it. And I don't mind representation , but it's supposed to be a 1995 film. And those didn't do that. So it's trying to have it's cake and eat it.
@@paultapner2769 Soxs was the only redeeming quality in the movie. Representation can work but this is supposed to be an outer space movie. In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, you had Booster who was a dinosaur like alien, Mira Nova a blue skinned redhead and XR a robot android as Buzz’s team. There you have your diversity more diverse then Lightyear
@@frostfang7670 What is funny about diversity and in the case of Disney a lot seems to be just adding more dark skinned characters.
Sure they add other races in other projects but you ever start noticing its mainly more dark skinned people they add for their diversity checkpoints?
The Little Mermaid was always my favorite. Ariel was adventurous and curious about learning. She's beautiful and sweet. I loved her bright red hair as a child and she was the first princess to save the prince. She wasn't afraid to go after what she wanted. And the whole movies fun and beautiful and wonderful music. I just love it. Plus she a Mermaid. Who doesn't love that? I'm big into fantasy stuff as an adult I have no doubt Ariel helped that along. 😊
And now you hate it, because she is black
@@rubenazul7421That's not Ariel, that's Halle Bailey. 🙄
# F@ck 2023 # '89 43VA
@@rubenazul7421If the live action film wanted a good black mermaid so bad, they could've chosen Gabrielle (or Gabriella, I forget) from the TV series. She was Ariel's friend that went on adventures with her now and then and communicated via sign language since she couldn't speak. There was an episode where she made a wish to be able to sing and although it didn't work, it did teach her that she still had great qualities regardless of her physical limitations.
Disney really could've won with this character since she was black AND disabled. As long as she wouldn't be used for pity and actually contributed to the plot, she would've made a great addition to the movie. It's a shame she wasn't used since I adored her character as a child.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of my all-time favorites as well. It was so experimental and risky for a company like Disney because of its dark themes but it’s also very beautiful and has a moral that leaves enough room for the viewer to sit and ponder it. “What makes a monster and what makes a man?” After all, Frollo is a villain who is fully convinced that he’s doing what’s best for Paris without realizing until it’s too late that he’s only doing what’s in his interest only while Quasimodo’s actions are more thoughtful and empathetic compared to his adopted father. I’ll tolerate the gargoyles any day to watch that movie all the way through. It’s such an underrated accomplishment from Disney and I wish they had tried to do more projects like The Hunchback of Notre Dame instead of the remakes and lackluster social justice checklist movies.
As a 'feminine' man, thank you for speaking about how black and white media's takes on masculinity are. I work as a therapist but I also love camping and the outdoors. Masculinity, confidence, taking a leadership role, and other masculine traits (especially physical ones) are not bad. Anything dont to excess is bad, we just need a good cast and story to highlight where that line might be in masculinity without needing a purely feminine man as a foil, just a well-adjusted masculine male.
Also I fucking love Claude Frollo, especially Hellfire. Ive explored other languages of Hellfire and the heavy-handed emotional deliveries are amazing.
Edit: I think a great example of a well-adjusted masculine man is George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. Takes charge, provides for and loves his family, is a hero, but struggles with things he cant control. Doesn't take it out on other people as a character trait though. Is willing to listen to others.
As a women I want to find a feminine man that’s not a crackpot crazy person. Tea time Victorian men are still men.
As a man myself, I see nothing wrong with admitting that we, as men, have various mental health struggles just like women do. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t lead or be masculine either, but I’d hardly call admitting we as men have our own mental struggles and feelings to be more on the feminine side either.

Favorite Disney movie is The Emperor's New Groove. It absolutely made me laugh out loud.

Encanto and Hunchback of Notre Dame are definitely up there in high quality Disney movies.
As you can probably guess by my username, my most favourite Disney movie is The Great Mouse Detective. It came out at a very interesting time for the Disney studio: not quite before the "Renaissance" era (between this movie and The Little Mermaid was Oliver and Company) but also right after the disasterous failure that was The Black Cauldron. Even if it's just a retelling of the Sherlock Holmes story, but with little critters like mice, rats and what not, it's still a very great movie with wonderful characters, score and animation! It saved the studio after its last financial flop, and I find it sad that many people write this movie off as a product of Disney's last stages of its "Dark era". Still, it's so, SO much better than what Disney does today. God I can't imagine a remake of TGMD with realistic-looking rodents! Yuck!
IIRC, The Great Mouse Detective is based on the Basil of Baker Street series of children's novels who is pretty much the Sherlock Holmes of the mouse world. He and Doctor Q Dawson, run arround solving crimes in the mouse world.
My favorite Disney movie is Tangled and I think it's actually the LAST "classic" movie Disney has made: it has a well-written story and well-written characters (the characters' personal journeys are incorporated into the plot without overshadowing it), it has a real/truly evil villain, a main female character who's both feminine and strong, no feminism, no random POCs in a medieval-fantasy European setting, and the "prince" saves the princess/true (romantic) love saves the day at the end!
I agree completely agree with you. After Tangled, Disney went downhill
When you go far to one side or the other, you can never understand the other side because it's so polarizing to you, and even trying to come to a balanced ideal is highly unlikely to happen.
In Iran we call it falling from that side of roof
But only one side gets to cancel things they find offensive/disagree with. I'd say that's a problem.
Interestingly, Avatar 2 (owned by Disney), had a scene where Jake had to apologize for his wife acting up in front of the (male) chief. He also exhibited a lot of masculinity and traditional values, particularly around raising his family right and honoring the tribe's religion and practices. He was a leader, loving father, and a man of some station. I was honestly waiting for some articles to drop about how "problematic" he was.

It’s good to see someone who still enjoys Disney but is still willing to call out or critique the bad parts of it. I am actually a fan of Twisted Wonderland, and for those who don’t know is a Japanese mobile game where they make new (mainly male) characters based off of the Disney villains. It’s kind of an obscure part of Disney, and not everyone will like the premise, but for me it’s honestly so good that I would argue that it’s one of the best things to come out of recent Disney and it’s not even from the U.S.
Otherwise though, I think most of the other things to come out of Disney are just mediocre to bad, and I never liked the turn they tried going on to try making everything politically correct or doing what is trending rather than making endearing stories. Does Disney deserve to be sorely criticized or even boycotted, yes, at least enough for an acknowledgment that this is current method needs to be changed or adjusted. However, I wouldn’t go as far as to say Disney deserves to grow bankrupt as despite its very controversial it’s business practices has been, they are still responsible for creating other characters and series that are still admired by many people, including myself, and wouldn’t want them taken away from them so soon or abruptly. I just want them to stop the current crap they are pulling off.
The ballet commentary was spot on. The lift is a very dangerous part for the ballarinas and being overweight would NOT help them to get a part because the male counter-part would have even more dificulty to lift them up

Zippity Do Da, Zippity Eh. My oh my, what a wonderful day 🎶
I’m a 2008 kid, and my whole life I’ve absolutely loved Disney. Encanto was an absolute gem of a modern animated film. Me and the rest of my theater troupe were completely obsessed with it in early 2022
Hunchback is one of the best Disney movies ever made. I remember when I was little back when it came out they had the puppets/dolls at Burger King or McDonald’s. I had every single one lol
Coming from a 26 year old who grew up in the early 2000s, my favorite thing to do after school, one of my favorite things was to pick out a Disney movie and put the vhs tape in the tv and they were usually the 90s classics. That and lilo and stitch that got me to wear hula dance costumes when I went to the beach one time with my friend. I would even go to Disney world every year until I was 17.

I so agree. After Tangled Disney went downhill. The Renaissance era is my favorite Disney era b/c that was my era of Disney. I will be 30 in September.
During the Renaissance era, there was respect for Walt’s vision but nowadays people at Disney don’t even give Walt Disney a 2nd thought 😞
Appearance, voice and message everything is perfect.
This nonsense has done much more harm than good to Disney it seems, especially last year. I thought the live-action Little Mermaid would be the most woke thing Disney could pump out (though to me, it wasn’t as bad as their Peter Pan or Mulan “remakes”), but I was surprised when I found that Snow White would be worse, with Disney not only checking boxes for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but also for hiring someone just because she was woke and she could sing. She literally hates the original Snow White and wanted to “feminize” it as much as possible. Then you have The Marvels, and… wow. The presence of cats was the only thing really good about it. The rest of it was just a woke mess.
And by the way, I ranked all animated Disney films I’ve seen up to Wish on a tier list site, and I have determined that The Lion King is currently my favorite Disney film, followed by Bambi and Fantasia. I also really enjoyed the original Little Mermaid, Encanto (the only great film Disney has made since 2020), Zootopia, Frozen 1, Beauty and the Beast (the original), The Jungle Book (also the original), Dumbo (still the original), Moana, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (the two that Disney is desperate to butcher next). I thought most of the live-action remakes were fine, especially pre-Mulan, but The Jungle Book is the only one that ever wowed me, though I will say that the Alice in Wonderland remake was also excellent.
Thank you for highlighting the horrors of modern Disney. I was worried for them since 2017, and it’s sadly worse than I thought it would be.
Love your content. We need women like you help bring normalcy to this wokeness that is screaming for attention.
the majority of americans form both sides hate this wokeism
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".[1][2] Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities, such as sexism, and has also been used as shorthand for some ideas of the American Left involving identity politics and social justice, such as white privilege and slavery reparations for African Americans.[3]

my favorite disney animated movie is Tangled, Rapunzel is my favorite princess, Flynn/Eugene is my favorite prince and I hope they don't do a live action remake of this movie because they would definitely butcher and destroy everything i like about it
i honestly like gay rep when it isnt forced. like writing a good well developed character that so happens to be gay, instead of only focusing on making a gay character. like instead of making being gay the whole part of a character, simply make it a factor of that character. same with strong independent women, movies like mulan, brave tangled, etc were so well done with the way they wrote the female characters, they didnt just write the females to be the "strong female lead", but actually gave them depth and a story, and development. now a days i find they just throw rep in without actually making a fully fleshed out character, its so annoying. its as if writing has just been replaced with mindless regressive activism
@TheGlassesPro i agree, im so sad it got cancelled cause it was actually a really good show with great representation
If anything, the liberal left doesn’t understand the definition of being equal. To them, the definition of equality is thinking that they are most important than everyone else and that they should be higher than, better than, and superior to everyone else.
Any comments?
I watched Lightyear with the version where all the woke parts cut. I'd say it's a good movie, how Buzz is portrayed to be first not trusting other people but himself to him understanding that he needs to open for other people especially his teammates.
Uhhhhhh.....how did you find that edited version of the movie?
the woke parts? ah yea rhe lesbian kiss that last a few seconds, “woke” literally means acknowledging prejudices and discrimination

Yea Disney does not care about children anymore over there own toxic agenda. They are starting to go bankrupt and actually letting go some of the companies they bought out. While I feel extremely bad for the animating team forced to adjust for money the management gets what they deserve.

I am a Disney nerd.Pocahontas Hunchback of Notre dame and Beauty and the beast are my favourite Disney movies and i absolutely adored them as a kid too. Yeah i know Pocahontas the story isn’t true and in reality it’s something else but why we have to “cancel”(i didn’t cancel it) a whole movie just bcuz it didn’t happen like that in real life. And like it’s a beautiful movie from which we can learn a couple things too about not judging ppl based on race and Ethnicity(pretty much like what’s happening today still in 2023 ppl judge and put names on others bcuz they’re black white native asian or whatever).In my opinion Belle Esmeralda and Pocahontas are the perfect example of strong women who are feminine dreamy imaginative but also smart justice oriented strong and assertive when needed but not overly bratty and always looking for a fight like woke mobs
At least Pocahontas isnt one of the Renaissance films having a remake created
Hunchback of Notre Dame was one of my absolute favorites as a kid. Its still one of my favorite movies of all time. They took a huge risk with that one, and it really paid off for them.
On the topic of the live action movies, while I don't like any of them really at all and think they're all generally soulless to just plain bad, I actually do like the Alice in Wonderland ones. They may not be that great of movies, but they at least tried something different, which I appreciate, even if it didn't quite work out well.
I know it's not a Disney movie but have you ever seen "The Last Unicorn?"
It is my favorite animated film and just one of my favorite movies in general. I would highly recommend it!!!
P.S. "Hellfire" is my favorite Disney song as well❤
I used to watch it growing up! It was amazing and a darker movie
Its Jeff Bridges and America does the Music!!!! ❤❤❤
I've been reading a book series about a group of retired military men who take on mercenary contracts -- it's time-killing reading, nothing earth-shaking but enjoyable. But the men deal with loss (three original characters are dead, a fourth permanently disabled as a result of their missions), with the stress and uncertainty of what they're doing (they're hired by the government, but strictly "unofficially"), one character's wife just had a baby, and another's adult son just joined the group. There's more REAL emotion and vulnerability in these characters in popcorn books than in most recent Disney movies.
I love Disney, but they have been declining in recent years.
I really did enjoy Encanto & Turning Red though.
I loved Frozen.
Dreamworks pushed things to the next level with Puss in boots the Last wish.
I LOVE Dreamworks.
Dreamworks is doing WAY better than Disney nowadays! Puss in Boots, though he’s a cat, is super masculine, bad@$$, brave, and has a deep voice, just as men should be!
I could not agree more! I never saw that one but I REALLY want to!
why do they always have to make live action films? lol why can't they simply create new films?
Lazyy
That non binary bison was probably going to higher the bar for Disney, I'd expect to see more non binary "things" from other animation studios too.
“There’s something called gravity”…Mischa this is why you’re great.
I think Disney should make more movies from traditional fairytales like they used to (like a Hansel and Gretel animated movie for example). Also, I’ve really wanted to see for a long time (live-action Tomorrowland doesn’t count) movies based on original rides/stories from Disney theme parks. Would I love to see an animated space mountain movie with brand new, original characters? Heck yes I would!
I love how you point out the emotional support animals, something a lot of people miss. I'm a big animal person too, but seeing how woke types get attached to them is beyond creepy at times and obviously worrisome from a psychological standpoint. Plus I've known far too many who end up neglecting their dog's need for lots of exercise and outdoor activity because, well, THEY neglect exercise and outdoor activity😯🙄🫡
Mulan was great back then man I miss being a kid I’m nostalgic
Disney should cast Misha as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Alice in Wonderland! Disney would be a success once gain!
Yes I thought I was the only one to have noticed this with Disney thank you for bringing it out in one of your videos keep up the good work we love you
The race swapping thing is really weird. If they want to include more black characters and/or other races, they should create new movies and characters. Being inclusive is a great thing, but they don't need to change everything in order to accomplish this.
I grew up in the 90s, so thankfully I got to watch all the good Disney movies. All on VHS!! 😊
Disney used to be a king of movies but now is slowly getting covered by DreamWorks and Nintendo. Sad to see what happening to them. All the people want are good stories and characters. is that to much to ask :(
Disney is bleeding and I'm happy... I'm not emotionally attached to anything, not even when my favorite group split up, and my favorite band's lead singer died. I moved on throughout the day as if it's nothing... when things are ruined for me, I just leave them be or just let them die. And that's Disney.
You have great taste Misha. I’ll be honest, I’ve been avoiding the recent Disney movies instead of giving them a chance which is really silly of me.
Ur not missing out trust me haha
Give them a chance and you will regret it. She's being overly kind, I promise you.
Fortunately we still have Dreamworks.
@@thefieryspit7764 I disagree. I don't think you're being silly. You're simply being sane.
DreamWorks 🗿
Lori Lightfoot voted mayor in The 1st place is absolutely Insane
My favorite movie is Lilo and Stitch because of the great story telling. I also adored the Hawaiian music and dancing as a kid and still do. I think Lilo and Stitch also did a great job at representing woman with another figure besides skinny at the time. Nani looked like a healthy normal woman. I also think they handled showing the appreciation of the Hawaiian culture by actually including a dance that was made along with the actual language.
Disney stopped taking risks and became dull pretty quick. I get that they wanted to also jump in the wagon of bringing nostalgia and remaking movies especially during the pandemic, in order to get more views. I just hate that they continue and continue to just remake a movie too many times. The only remake I liked was Maleficent the first movie. Trying to be inclusive is starting to be annoying because instead of focusing on a character and growth they are now focusing on if this character will come out or not. Your race, gender, and sexuality is not your whole identity. I wish more people could understand that and get an actual hobby and work on self growth.
it feels like Disney actually promoted diversity in its golden age: Alladin, Lilo and Stitch, Mulan, Emperor’s new groove, Anastasia, the Princess and the Frog, Snow white, Hunchback, etc… without even trying to make it the whole point of the film! and now it is completely opposite: “different” in an alike way characters and cliché.
Just found your channel... thank YOU for what you create! And no... don't really watch too many of the newer movies from Disney... 😔My favorite? Probably the original Mulan... just so fun... good music... a real hero who learns to face her weaknesses while learning about her strengths.💕
Glad to hear that the transgender story is your favorite. It's very inclusive of you. I'm not transgender myself, but I am glad when other peoples' lives are less horrible.
My favorite would have to be Treasure Planet, and honestly I have stopped giving Disney my money.
If Disney were alive today he would be disgusted as to what his brand has turned into
I think I sort of gave up on new Disney films after the live action Mulan, and started sticking to the classics. However last year I saw Encanto in a film class and adored it. It has to be my favorite Disney film ever.
Disney stopped being brave a long time ago. I always say that western animation peaked in the 90s & early 2000s, & I have yet to see anything that proves me wrong. (I attribute the miracle of Encanto to the people behind it not Disney. Still holding out hope for Dreamworks.) Fortunately, Disney is loosing money hand over fist, & will no doubt soon perish. What’s sad is that it’s going to do so a shell of its former self.
Losing not loosing 🎉
Modern Disney I like: Moana, turning red, Luca, Enchanto, and Coco.. My favorite disney movie is Princess and the frog.
Del Torro is not American, that's why his Pinocchio is better.
Same reason was Capcom produces better games, and manga better comics.
US decadence.
I loved the Del Toro Pinocchio. They didn't play it as safe as Disney did. I also have more fun with Pokemon and other Japanese stuff because Japan is mostly old-fashioned with certain things and there's hardly any woke shit there and that's why I love Japan and respect them more than my own country America.
The Italian 2019 Pinocchio was really good,I never knew the original story was so dark. I also saw the 40's classic, the animation was wonderful!
I literally stopped paying for Disney. It’s so sad what has become of that lovable company. Thank you for your videos, love your work ✝️💙
ah a christian, hows wantinf kids dead workinf out?
What really bothers me is how all the classic Disney movies get a disclaimer at the start saying how they apologize for the stereotypes.
Tangled and Moana were the last good Disney animated movies and the last good Pixar film was Inside Out.
I watched Lightyear because I love the Toy Story movies. I was very disappointed to find it seemed to just be a movie designed to shove a message down my throat. The gay-couple kiss scene, for example. Ok, cool.. but what did it contribute to the story? It was a scene that seemed to only be put in the movie so they could check a box on their inclusion checklist but contributed nothing to the story.
Yeah that wasn't necessary.
I guess Cruella and Maleficent were greatly done showing the other side of villainhood giving more thought to every sides of a story, not a protagonist who seems perfect but I feel they will not make any such kind of movie.
I actually watched Cruella. It was way better than I thought. It also let you understand how Cruella went from being a decent person to slowly becoming the thing she hated when she was younger.
@@icedriver2207 yes exactly, that was even not expected even fashion was at the next level and looked good than what we just see these days, classic That movie let us think why the villains we thought were bad once and why are who they are. People can make them turn worst and the new woke culture is doing nothing else I feel, I went off the map but tho.
@@icedriver2207 things she hated and changed later in life not as a child or being a minor which was better.
In defense of Strange World, the gay relationship was introduced in the movie very subtle. The main plot was the estranged relationship between the father and son. The movie is not bad, just generic.
You should check out Everything Everywhere all at once.
That movie has a lesbian character.
However, it’s done WELL!
It’s not just to mark off a checkbox.
Having diversity is fine, but STORY ALWAYS comes first.
Everything Everywhere all at once is absolutely amazing!
First Kung Fu movie to win best picture! I was so happy!
Didn’t they already do a live action hunchback back in the 90s with Salma Hayek as Esmeralda?
I've watched Lightyear, and I'd say I was satisfied. I didn't find it as woke-heavy as many other of their movies, and I think the plot was enjoyable.
But Toy Story 3 will probably still be one of my favourite Disney movies.
I wasn’t even alive when the old Disney movies were made and even I miss it😭
I have hope for the Hunchback live action. I’ll be so sad if they mess it up. I heard rumors they were gonna cast a non Romani woman for Esmeralda🙁
I miss the Eisner era.
Same! Disney went downhill when Iger took over
The new Pinocchio from Del Toro was AMAZING
