celeb news Disney to move away from films with progressive messages, says CEO Bob Iger

[terrorblade]

[Beyonnaise]

This conversation is getting so exhausting. Their movies suck now mostly because the ideas are just unoriginal and boring and most things just feel like a rehash. It has very little to do with their tokenized "diversity".

 

If people en masse were boycotting Disney movies because of ~wokeness~ aka characters not being all white straight men, why was Coco a smash just a few years ago? Because it was actually an interesting story and well crafted within a rich cultural fabric. Same with Encanto last year (though the plot was meh). The Marvels didn't flop because the leads were women, as much as incels would love that to be true. It flopped because The Avengers franchise is so overdone and tacky at this point, because to understand it you have to keep up with the hundred different multiverse universes through flop Disney+ shows nobody watches or cares about, and because it looked terrible and uninteresting.

Well duh, about time, Flop Iger.

[mael]

Sure, okay, whatever?

One of the greatest Disney animated films of the 90s is literally about how an institution of religion served to push white supremacy and xenophobia by outcasting the destitute, unhoused and nomadic within historical Paris.

Conservative after flopped

This evil company just keeps getting worse oof

They never had these issues when they released Shakira’s Zootopia

Yikes if true!

 

If Beauty and the Beast (1991), Mulan (1997), That's So Raven (2003-2007) and SO MANY others were made today, SNOWFLAKES would've cried "WOKE! POLITICAL! RADICALIZING KIDS!"

 

Racebending also existed back in the day like the Black Muses in Hercules (1997) and even in non-Disney kids' movies like an Asian Lost Boy in the Peter Pan sequel Hook (1991), Black Becky in A Little Princess (1995) off the top of my head. And not a single kid CARED!

 

It's only a problem NOW because Dump's presidency has emboldened SNOWFLAKES to be loud and proud about their own PARANOIA and BIGOTRY, ew!

What Disney movie celebrates progressive values?

[Trent W]

Just create better stories

 

Changing the races of characters is not enough, is weak pandering and it even makes minorities uncomfortable.

 

Coco and Encanto were a massive success because they are original newer stories

Disney has destroyed themselves. Drop the remakes. Also Disney+ is a mess. It’s slow, the layout is rotten, and the content is not great. 
 

I won’t forgive them for ruining Hocus Pocus 2. 

[FlyOnTheWall]

Disney always had periods of flopping but came back strong after like in the 50s with the silver era, the 90s with the renaissance or the 10s with their revival era so I hope for them this current period is just another time history repeats itself and they're able to come back again in a couple of years with iconic movies, critical and commercial success. Don't care for the company as a whole but I will always root for the hundreds of artists and creatives working for them, investing sweat and tears, especially on Pixar and the Walt Disney Animation Studios.

This was the golden era of Disney, anything beyond that shouldn't have happened

 

And instead of creating new princesses/characters they just race swapped half of that image 

 

Almost all their new original movies with poc characters were smashes.

The problem has never been progressive messages but the way they only focused on making it "woke" while ignoring the plot and the characters

 

Came in here to post exactly this

Nobody cares if movie is woke. The problem was that they were horrible

It’s a little both you make a billion when everyone sees your movie and that include racist homophobic sexist conservatives 

 

Barbie celebrated women

Its not really worth for one small scene of take a letter of lgbt out of the hat to mention their sexuality in passing then never be seen again.

 

the one time they had the lead be gay, it was a terrible movie that was so bad they gave up on it. Thus making the any effort they make disgenous.

Encanto ain’t even 2 years old this generation just needs constant content to complain about. The fact that 2019 was barely 4 years ago and was the biggest year in Disney history. The company will be fine. Be fr.
