I think it’s sad that the idea of “woke” has become so mainstream now that it’s mentioned like it’s a real (negative) thing. All it really means is empathetic which is a virtuous thing.
Just because YOU can’t imagine what it would be like to be a trans person, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, and be inclusive, so it disgusted me how fast Bud Light turned its back on its trans spokesperson.
I see the same happening with Disney, a tendency to back off and cave to the unenlightened, the anti-“woke”, the “asleep” as I call them. All in the name of profit. And that’s sad. But once I saw Iger’s comments about the ongoing strikes, I got it. We live in a capitalist society. Profit is all that can EVER matter here.
So we’ll keep trundling along as a species until we civil war, climate change, nuke, or AI ourselves into oblivion, and we’ll have a Black Snow White or trans beer spokesperson only when it gets the stockholders what they want (that second megatacht or whatever).
So “woke” people, be louder than the “asleep” people or we’re going to keep getting straight white male barf forever and ever ad nauseum until the day we’ve done ourselves in.
“Woke” is pushing a political and social agenda, demanding that those who disagree must comply and accept. That’s why so many strongly object.
More importantly, this agenda regarding sex and gender should NOT be pushed on children and invade the entertainment intended for children.
Most of us honestly don’t care what adults choose to do in their private lives. I simply choose not to patronize any source pushing this agenda on me, and object to sexualizing children.
I consider the live remakes a mixed bag. Beauty and the Beast and most others are OK, but I really liked Aladdin. Since they couldn’t replicate the brilliant Robin Williams, they let Will Smith be himself, which worked very well.
Some remakes were unnecessary, like the Lion King and Jungle Book. Most of these remakes are not enough to make me pay to see them in the theater.
Remakes lack originality. While I understand the studio is trying to ride the popularity of the original animated movies by making a live action remake, the whole point of the popularity of the original is, it was original. There are MILLIONS of stories, children’s books, what have you, out there that can be made into a movie. We don’t have to keep rehashing the same old plot lines. Movies are a way to escape the troubles in our lives , just for a few hours.
Here’s an 💡 idea: why not start making big budgeted ‘animated remakes’ of classic live action films like GONE WITH THE WIND or THE LONGEST DAY for instance…? When you “think about it”…Disney’s beautifully produced animated 1951 film version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND was actually “a remake” of several earlier “live action films” based on the ‘same story’. This ultimately “led” to the newer and fabulously produced “live action remakes” of the LEWIS CARROLL novels many decades later from the WALT DISNEY STUDIOS…! An “animated version” of WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOLFE…maybe…? 😨…just food for thought…😂…!
I don’t see the need to make any “live action” movies that a based on stories mostly about animals. All you’re getting is CGI and voices of famous actors. How is that different than the classic animated versions? Don’t get me wrong, I love the Aristocats, but I don’t think any remade version is going to be better than the original, especially the music.

Agree. Obviously, woke is a real thing.
