waah waah yourself timmy, the thing that gets people upset is the hypocrisy of all this, because we all know (you included) that disney would NEVER cast a white actress to play the role of tiana if they ever made a live remake of princess and the frog, and she’s just a cartoon princess right?
And the irony is, Disney pretty much threw over the Pixie Hollow characters years ago, and doesn’t even remember Iridessa being Tink’s token-black-fairy friend…
I’m really sick of all this racially charged nonsense. Why can’t we move past this ridiculous singular way of looking at someone? It would be wrong for her to be cast just because she wasn’t white just as much as would be for another actress to be cast for the sole reason that they were white. I am sure that unless the director and producer are complete idiots they chose her because her personality and acting skills matched what they wanted Tinkerbell to be in the Peter Pan story they are telling. Best case scenario is that skin color had nothing to do with the decision because the best way to do things is a meritocracy where you are judged based on your skills, talent, and personality; not on shallow “skin surface”factors such as the color of your skin.
No, they definitely chose her because she’s black and already on an ABC series. Same reason they chose the black actress to play Ariel in that upcoming remake. Let’s not make it too complicated and overthink the reasoning behind the choices.
Dude…You can’t seriously believe that. They totally picked her for the color of her skin. They are trying to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement and, in turn, SCREW the White Fairies Matter Movement!
It is extremely obvious that Disneyland and other parks can open up and do so safely. But Gavin newsome does not care about people losing their jobs and losing their benefits. Since Disneyland has publicly voiced their opinion about opening up at this point Gavin newsome is abusing his power and taking revenge on the park system and the people in California by not opening.
Why can’t they just write new stories and new characters for these talented actresses. That would make more sense to me. Did Disney run out of imagination?
Well if it’s just a “Fairy Role” and the race “doesn’t matter,” I can’t wait to see what they do with Silvermist and Iridessa. Honestly I can’t believe the amount of hypocrisy with all of this.
