    Is Disney just going to keep on bombing in the box office forever?

    Does everyone have to be the first something for Disney? First black actress, first gay character, first trans character etc. Disney needs to concentrate on the story instead of all this inclusive crap

      It was still a great movie, there’s nothing wrong with inclusiveness to tell a story. I guess someone will get offended in some way but I am really happy for these kids.

      WTAH. Disney is doing this so kids grow up knowing no matter what, exclusion is an unhealthy road to travel. Noah was chosen for his acting ability – he just happens to have Down’s Syndrome. Try to be a kind human being.

    Good for Disney for being inclusive and pushing the previous boundaries.

    I’ll be more excited when this kind of news isn’t even considered news anymore. Just another actor in another role. THAT will be true progress and inclusivity.

    I would love to see more people with all sorts of differences.

    I thought that Noah was wonderful in this movie. I hope to see him again in other movies!
