    Not sure I'd agree that 1937 was that great compared to today.

    The two bright spots were probably the Snow White movie and The Hindenburg,

    I was only joking

      First, I hate/love watching that video George posted. She is SO SMUG before she even answers the question, and even more smug after she gives her cute little "it's no longer 1937" line. Well guess what, maybe it should be 1937. Cultural/media/society morals were better. Not perfect, but better than the wasteland that we see today.

      Second, can we pause and even ask why she's all about snow white "being the leader was was born to be?" Most people would be better off being a good person they are born to me, and most people are absolutely not meant to be a leader. Not in a bad way, but why is there such an emphasis on being a "leader"?

      Third, so they went from a production that had 1 dwarf among 6 other magical creatures... to ANIMATED dwarfs? Somehow Disney has gone from employing 1 dwarf to now cutting that acting role completely.

        She's the daughter of the freaking Queen, you numpties. Obviously she's the leader she was born to be (subject to Prince Philip saying it's OK, obviously)

        If the Grimm boys had wanted her to be common, they'd have made her a shoemaker or a prostitute or something.

              OK, but it was written down over 100 years before Disney, and I'm guessing she was most likely a princess before that.

              I do think it's a shame that Disney didn't feature the evil queen donning red hot slippers and dancing until she dropped dead at the end of the movie. That's freaking inspiring leadership!

                She was indeed, and it's integral to the story. Quite obviously she wasn't a princess "only because some guy somewhere in history" arbitrarily made her so.

                Your overall point's valid, I'm just a nitpicking ass.

                      @LuFins-Dad LOL that is truth

                      Now that they are back to the dwarves (animated, where is the outrage from the midget community?), the movie looks extra animated... almost like they have real actors in a Roger Rabbit type of environment. The acting also looks broadway over-the-top, but who knows.......

                          Funny, I actually spelled it Dwarfs then changed it so that I wouldn't be corrected.

                              No, remember that Disney stepped in and made them pretty much redo the entire thing. I’m sure there will still be a little wokism in the movie, but nowhere near what it was going to be.

                                    She's a single girl who "communes" with farmyard animals and lives with 7 blokes, and you're worried about homosexuality?

                                    It's just possible you've got issues.

                                          She's killing her career, no studio will risk their money on her, or at least we can hope. There are few people who represent the "rich, vocal, woke-out-of-touch, tolerant except for views I disagree with, insulated NY bubble" category more than her... she was probably surprised when Trump won, too.
