Apologies for the length of the post, perhaps I'm old, but has PC gone mad???
A revamped version of Disneyland's famed Snow White ride is drawing backlash for portraying the 'true love's kiss' scene, which critics say undermines lessons about consent by portraying the Prince kissing Snow White while she is asleep.
'A kiss he gives to her without her consent, while she's asleep, which cannot possibly be true love if only one person knows it's happening,'
In the new movie, Rachel Zegler (a Latino 'actor') has been cast as Snow White “People are making these jokes about ours being the PC Snow White, where it’s like, yeah, it is — because it needed that,” says Zegler
The Snow White remake won’t have its title character waiting around for a prince to come to save her. Zegler says that Snow White is “dreaming of becoming the leader she knows she can be, and the leader that her late father told her that she could be"
Photos from the Snow White set revealed that the seven characters accompanying Snow White weren’t all dwarfs. They were actors of different heights, races, and genders.
I give up!!

Disney’s last eight studio releases have made a combined loss of $900 million.
Simply put people are voting with their feet and don’t want to watch this nonsense.
It’s not just Disney either. Amazon recently spunked away a record amount on their terrible Tolkien fanfic series “Galadriel: Warrior princess” that everyone hated.
Clearly this generation is the most intelligent and perceptive of all time Every single epoch of yore was racist, sexiest or inappropriate For sure, the most arrogant in human history . It can only be right

…or young girls aspirations have moved on from just looking really pretty to attract a prince?
Disney have made some real turkeys recently but the move over the last two decades to strong female leads is a positive one.

this interview is fantastic, the woke individual trying to stand up for the movie whilst being told he's wrong by the person he trying to 'defend'. It sums up this world

I’m not sure that’s entirely true. I think if you surveyed a hundred 18 year old women asking if they wanted to meet a tall dark and handsome man and be swept off their feet the answer would be a resounding yes. I think the attraction of a fairytale romance will never die out especially for young girls. You only have to look at the amounts spent on clothes, make up, hair, lashes, lip fillers, nails etc or the popularity of vacuous programmes like love island to see young women still aspire to look pretty, more so than ever I’d say. The pressures to look perfect are insane these days.

Certainly you’re right for some but I’m not so sure it’s the norm.
I’d also say that with social media and Love Island type things going in on, the need is even greater for positive female role models whether in business, sport or even Disney princesses that don’t need a man to make their dreams come true.

It’s called childhood One of my granddaughters wanted to be a princess. She’s over it now and was kidding us all along the way No damage done

One that wants girls to have choices.
You can’t be what you can’t see.
Disney however seems to be of the opinion that the choice to romance and marry and set up a family is an undesirable one. They are of the belief that a strong woman is an emotionless joyless husk who doesn’t need any attachments whatsoever and runs around kicking the asses of anyone who stands in her way.
Compare and contrast Galadriel in the Peter Jackson films versus the Amazon mess. She exudes power and grace in the Jackson trilogy and doesn’t even pick up a weapon. Yet she is still an equal partner of her husband the lord celeborn who was inexplicably written out of the Amazon mess because strong wommin need no man.

Which of the 14 official Disney princesses (all of whom appear live in their parks and whose back catalogues are constantly available on their streaming services) do you think are emotionally joyless husks?

I'm not sure that is true, there hadn't been a female Prime Minister, until there was one. I'm sure there are many examples of women becoming thinsg they couldn't see.
For me, why re-write a story? Why not just write a new one. Why can't Snow White and her Prince have a daughter? Why do women's roles have to be competely altered in new storylines so they are unrecognisable?
Why can't they write modern fairytales? Don't they have the talent?

I think that’s an excellent point, Cat.
On one hand they are stories so by their nature they can be messed with but why bother?

As I said earlier, it's getting better all the time (thankfully) and that's in part to do with female role models.
That's all I've really been saying in this thread; real life examples raise aspirations.
The fact I've had push back speaks volumes.
Your comments,Gwyn,with respect can be misinterpreted. My point is kids are smarter than we think . We teach them to do the wrong things. These days, my generation is being demonised but not by them though.
