Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
Yeah, lord-of-sith , that's right. But keeping the iconography comes first to me. But I would also argue most people don't think The Princess and the Frog was that good a film and if Disney just made better films with POC characters that would make beloved POC characters. I think it's a little more...

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
Lord-of-sith , you're right about a lot. But I would say Disney should be making original characters who are underepresented races instead, and ones that will be cared about more, just like Disney's Divinity said. Oh absolutely, and in an ideal world that would be what's happening. But I see the va...

I'm sorry, I had edited my post to soften that wording because I didn't want the "you" to seem as you specifically, but a general you. I've said similar things before myself. I appreciate it. Glad we can find common ground here. It can be very difficult to gauge the tone of posts, so ofte...

What are the odds we get Neeson and McDiarmid cameos? I'm gonna guess pretty high.

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
I thought we were having a discussion about it for the past page. The problem is it often doesn't come across like you want a discussion, but that you just want to scare people you disagree with into silence because you might be about to break out the R word. For better or worse, intimidation tacti...

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
It would be nice if everyone in general would stop accusing others (directly or indirectly) of being sexist/racist/homophobic etc. "Calling someone out" is actually against the rules as it's a form of personal attack. You can express your position and your perspective on something without...

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
Well, for The Princess and the Frog, they would disqualify any actress who wasn't black for Tiana. I just wanted a red-haired white actress because I wanted what I felt was an important iconic visual of the original that the remake should keep, just like Maleficent had to keep her horns and Cindere...

Thanks for calling me pathetic, when it was about much more than your post. I have followed this thread since it was started, so I've certainly seen enough posts to inform my opinion. I am aware of your other posts, but it doesn't take away the bad taste your most recent post, as well as many others...

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
They cast a beautiful black woman who has an amazing voice to play the character whose most important characteristic is her one-of-a-kind beautiful voice. And yet I am seeing multiple suggestions for different actresses who are of course white (ATJ is technically latinx, but even herself has said sh...

Re: Funko POP! Disney
From your list, I would say the most surprising omissions (aka ones I'd predict we'll see made at some point) are Lady Tremaine, Frollo, Mother Gothel, and Hans. I could see any of them being convention or Hot Topic exclusives.

Re: Cruella (Live-Action)
Okay, so I've been a huge fan of the Cruella character my entire life. Like, dressed up as her for halloween as a 6-year old and watched the animated and Glenn Close versions over and over. To this day I am still a huge fan of this character. So, I was really interested in seeing this trailer to see...

Re: Mulan (Live-Action)
I haven't read any of this thread to know the board's consensus on this movie (though I'm guessing it's negative), but I wanted to pop in and say I didn't mind this movie. It wasn't amazing or an all-time classic, but it had something unique. As I was watching it, I had this strange feeling, somethi...

Re: Hercules (Live-Action)
I agree not everything needs to be a cinematic universe, but Hercules and greek mythology lend themselves to it pretty naturally. I'm honestly shocked Disney hasn't made these live-action adaptations they're own "Disney" cinematic universe yet. It'd be a train-wreck of course, but I'm surp...

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
I agree. She definitely has it in her to do the role well, it'll just come down to whether that comes to fruition or not. I don’t personally think it’ll even come down to McCarthy. It’ll be the directors choice whether she plays the role as creepy and malevolent or campy and not intimidating. She’s...

Re: The Little Mermaid (Live-Action)
Whether you enjoyed the movies or not (and I completely understand those who don't) I think it's unfair to say that Maleficent was portrayed as a halloween costume and "way overdone." Jolie was fully committed to the role and took it very seriously, and I think that shows in her performan...
