HOW DARE YOU DISNEY
Look they already had me with Naveen Andrews as Jafar. What the FUCK is this
(Also Jasmine's actress is goddamn beautiful )
AHAHAH Apparently he is called "Hot Jafar"
Seriously, Hot Jafar is so a thing. Oded Fahir played him on OUAT proper and man. Just going all in in every adaption.
Which reminds me I should rewatch ouat:iw cause it's on disney plus.
aproclivity: man they just are collecting all the hotness for one evil man.
i've been rewatching OUAT because Robert Carlyle is also my brand of hot
in his own little squirrely way
holy shit the Prince Ali scene knocked it out of the park
like 1/2 disney parade 1/2 original movie
and all the extras looked so jazzed
OH MY GOD TYHE BOLLYWOOD DANCING
also something that baffled me about the outrage about Disney trying to work with China to make Mulan marketable there is - they do that now? With different cultures? Trying to make it respectful to that culture. I wonder like if a lot of that was just anti-China sentiment.
We have a lot of political problems with China, but that's not a good reason not to make a movie about a Chinese hero something respectful :\
and from what I saw it was super fucking well done, and remarkably feminist for the subject matter (the time period, etc.)
Also I watched Cruella and i don't get the hype
it was okay but it wasn't a GREAT movie.
it was The Devil Wears Prada with a Disney spin
my unpopular opinion: the whole point of cruella de vil is that she's cartoonishly evil
if they wanted to make 101D less sexist they could start by not reducing all the heroines to equally cartoonish ciphers
the nannies were robbed and smushing Missis and Perdita into one character was a disservice to both
