Interesting how the subpar Disney movies that have come out in the last year (i.e. Mulan remake, Cruella, Raya and the Last Dragon) have been “premier access” where you have to pay extra to see them, but the Pixar movies (i.e. Soul and Luca) which are generally pretty decent are able to be watched at no extra cost.
Disney and Pixar’s more recent character designs are just… *chef’s kiss* We love to see these diverse character designs with distinguishable features and varying proportions 🥺🥺
Disney 1994: Tries to copyright the phrase Hakuna Matata. The Swahili rightfully calls them out.
Disney 2017: Tries to copyright Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican religious holiday. They get called out on their bullshit pretty damn fast and cease on their attempt.
Disney 2021:They now want to copyright an ancient Norse pagan deity.(READ BELOW)
EDIT: Apparently the Norse deity thing was misinformation: Thankfully it seems they are only trademarking the fictional Marvel versions of them. The other shit they did is still real, though. Don’t ever forget they tried to do that.

the worst part about this is the young girls commenting on this video things like “what do you expect 13-15 yos to look like” like….kids…….i’m not saying to put on your dora shirt and put your hair in pigtails i’m saying that a 13 yo wearing a full face of makeup and making thirst traps is not normal
[Video Transcript: A video of a white girl wearing heavy make up with a caption saying “are u mad I’m 13 or are u mad I look better than u at 13?” The video cuts to a black woman saying “Listen I’m not here to tear down this child, but I just want to start like a discussion that needs to be had. I feel as though social media has been manipulating young girls to want to have sex appeal or want to be sexy, to the point of no return. And really it is normalizing pedo behaviour. And that’s what they do not understand. It is very sad that these young girls don’t have people their age to look up to, that is not trying to fit this sexual narrative.” The video cuts to the white girl again and the women continues “Like without make up you look 13 and that’s perfectly fine. And by no means is this me victim blaming, but this is the introduction to something way bigger that you all need to understand. And this is why these predators can say “Oh I didn’t know she was this age”. You have girls this age trying to compete with grown ass women. And this is being glamorized to the point that you have minors that say they cant’s wait to be 18 so they can be S workers. Like, no you all need to stop. End]
This isn’t just a bad remake or cash grab issues. It doesn’t matter how good or bad this film turns out to be. The very premise of it is deeply at fault. The original Spirit is a film about a horse who couldn’t be tamed bonding with a Lakota man in friendship and mutual respect.
This… no. Just no. Turning it into a young white (oh, i’m sorry, the PR team keeps pointing out she’s ‘half-mexican’) girl saves the wild horses is just awful. Truly disgustingly awful.
There was so much more to Spirit. Spirit was never even really about horse-wranglers being bad. It was about colonization and persecution and attempted erasure of Native American culture. The stripping of freedom. The atrocities committed against native tribes all across America. Spirit being torn from his family, like so many Native families were forcibly torn apart. The way the US soldiers were seeking to break his spirit and tame him so that they could exploit him for profit, as was done to so many Native tribes.
Spirit was never just a horse movie. It was always about so much more.
And they took it and made it into a white girl saves the wild horses from the big bad horse-wranglers movie.
This might make me sound totally and completely insane but I swear to god Soul 2020 changed me as a person. I cried at the end and once it was over all I could think was “holy shit I’m alive I can hear music playing and feel my dogs fur and see my Christmas tree and I’m breathing and my heart is beating and I am alive”
