I thought it was very well done! I’m guessing the biracial couple of Jim Drear and Darling and others throughout the movie, rubbed people the wrong way. And they feel like it’s a bit forced on them. Not just in this movie, but other Disney remakes as well.... But hear me out- I believe what Disney is doing is actually pretty great! I believe what they’re trying to do is make it look like how life would’ve and most importantly should’ve been like without slavery without segregation and without racism. I think it’s beautifully done! And it shows a lot of heart that went into it. If you look at it from that point of view, I believe you will love the movie even that much more! Plus let’s not forget, it’s also based in New Orleans not Orange County... Let’s also not forget one thing, this its a children’s movie. Most of us want equality in our world and we strive for it for the most part. I can’t speak for all of us, but I assume most of us don’t want our children too see the color or someone’s skin to be looked at as a issue of class and where they should rank in our society. And that is exactly what Disney is doing is trying to do. They’re progressively taking that in and moving forward instead of moving backwards or staying stagnant. And before some of you get your Panties in a twist after looking at my last name, know a I’m a upper middle class caucasian woman and I married a biracial half Hispanic man; hence the last name. So I see both sides.
