I heard it was bad, but this is just awful. This is like if you got the smuggest rich white kid in hollywood to rewrite Lilo and Stitch to fix the “plot holes” or whatever.
A lot of the disney movies from the 90s and early 2000s could have prolematic messaging and themes (and sex-pest characters) but modern Disney is actively harmful, their attempt to sanitise everything, to smooth everything over, is looking increasingly…I don’t know if…“pink fascist” quite makes sense, but it’s the words I want to use to describe this, wholesome, family-friendly fascism with token POC and willfully ignoring any important context or more importantly, subtext of the original movie.
The original movie also had deleted scenes where the tourists are openly racist to Lilo and she ends up yelling out, “Tourists! Prepare to die!” And Stitch eats that shit right up. It was an openly anti-colonialist movie that they’ve absolutely shat on. And speaking of plot holes, Nani would have been able to study marine biology in Hawaii for free. So why would she abandon her sister in order to travel?
