How controversial is it of how Disney treats their cast members

Not much. Largely because there are plenty of people who are just happy to work there as well as the idea that it's "the happiest place on Earth", so people aren't looking into it too much.

The fact that so many jobs there don't have unions or pay above minimum wage are red flags. Granted, I don't think cast members are treated as badly as say, Amazon employees, but they could definitely improve a lot

Why does Disney think that the world still wants more Frozen? I’m mad that the Tiana show got canceled, but I bet you that if Disney had the opportunity to make a Frozen show, they’d jump at the opportunity and give it a thousand seasons.

It's definitely still popular, though it's not what it once was.

The Tiana show was cancelled because of the anti-DEI sentiment going around a lot of corporations.

Granted, at this point in time, I don't know hoe profitable TV is for Disney at this point in time.

Maybe Snow White might make numbers overseas but honestly I don’t have high hopes for this movie at all

Unfortunately, that's what we say every year, every live-action remake that hits theaters, and what happens?

It'll probably be a write-off in the end. They spent too much on it despite it being something no one wanted. Might as well mak- a few million dollars rather than have the movie sit in the vault.

also im gonna riff on the lilo & stitch reboot bc it's gonna suck and we all know it BUT. BUT. i will hear NOTHING bad about the lil girl playing lilo. maia kealoha is the cutest little angel in the world and from the trailer it looks like they literally just shook a lilo & stitch dvd until the real lilo fell out. she is a baby and a rising star who looks like she's having the TIME of her life and i hope she made BANK from this and we all protect her forever

Sources confirmed Tuesday that local man James McDermott, despite living on a doomed planet, was mostly concerned about the skin color of people in movies. According to sources, the 36-year-old software engineer, who is an occupant of a world with a devastated ecosystem, dwindling natural resources, and a climate growing more uninhabitable each and every day, spent the majority of his leisure time debating whether certain skin tones were realistic for fictional characters who inhabited fictional worlds on-screen in films and television shows, most of which he did not watch.

Do you have any advice for using non-human creatures and fictional locations to reflect how different people from different places interact? I have an AU where I’m trying to do that.

I'm not really sure what you're asking...

To be honest, it just sounds like a fantasy setting.

I would think that you treat them like human characters and have them interact in a way that's true to them.

Dear humanity,

I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉

The Israeli occupation forces launched drone strikes on my husband, Fayez, and my son, Mohammad.

Although my husband's condition has stabilized, my son is still suffering immensely and urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.

I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too . 🥺 .

I need your help please donate and share, evry contribution, no matter how small, brings us hope in these dark times.

Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.

So I humbly ask you to donate even a little or at least reblog this appeal.

‎‏I am mohammed ayyad of Gazans, living in very difficult conditions because of the war that the Gaza Strip is under. Since the outbreak of the war on the seventh of October we have been evacuating .

‎‏Then the journey of suffering and separation began,because my children were separated and evacuated from our home without covering or clothes., From here they became infected with diseases, and what increased our fatigue was the constant upbringing due to the different areas in which we were displaced, as we were displaced 9 times, and this was very expensive, the last of which was the 9th of this August from Hamad Town. In addition to that, we have lived in the summer season in a tent that did not exceed three meters, closed with nylon, so it is like an agricultural greenhouse atmosphere. It is very hot. All in all, we live difficult days that no human beings can afford

We have no work because of the war, and we do not have any kind of money and this is accompanied by a crazy and horrible rise in prices.

Although water is not suitable for drinking, this is the cause of many diseases

The last suffering is that we are out of Hamad without taking our purposes or our tents and now we are searching the earth in the roads and our children and our elderly parents are suffering..So we use direct donation including what they can or share links fully so people can know our tragedy and pain. Remember a small contribution can make a difference in the lives of many children who are dealing with their health condition all. Leave their details and make them happy with your generous contribution.

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

NOTHING, NO help for days literally not a cent. PLEASE IGNORE the amount of notes as we still need help. The kids need food, If anyone can donate a dollar it helps, every single little bit is useful, it all adds up. I grew up in poverty had a shitty childhood due to fear of no water food or losing electricity or housing times when id never run or play at school or go out much during the summer cause I'd stink from having no deodorant which was very hard for me as a teen

Please yall I'm t rope end, need help desperately. Without my meds i can live but im afraid of my mental state without them same for physical state, too. I have OCD, BPD and severe depression, I suffer from audible hallucinations and visual ones at times and suffer from extreme anxiety and paranoia to the point I can't sleep or do anything. My physical health isn't great what with my thyroid and other problems.

Please I know I beg all the time, I know people are sick of me, but I also know that majority of you are so kind compassionate willing to help. Please if you all donate a dollar or 50 cent, I'd reach my goal by morning.

UPDATE 11/20/24

0/60

Please we have so much shit already we have to deal with not to mention living with the family abuser who constantly debases and insults us. Without my meds, her words are getting to me easier, making me cry and be marked as easy prey. Please I don't even care anymore please help the kids and my family eat this week please.

Hi! I really like your blog and I would like to share some of my thoughts about Wish with you.

First of all, I really do wish (ha) Star’s shapeshifting, including human form, was used in the final movie, along with ACTUALLY DECENT WRITING. However, I don’t like that most people are depicting him as a bland Hot Young White Boy #893648382 when his human design could have had far more potential than that. Yes, I know that many of the concept art depicted him sort of like that, but I feel like his human form should be more creative, cool, and mystical than just a Jack Frost-Peter Pan expy.

Second off, I really don’t like how the soundtrack is generic radio pop when I feel like a traditional, more Broadway-like, more Renaissance-like style would’ve fit right in more with the movie’s aesthetic and time period. With this, and the new Wicked movie’s trailers seemingly pop-ifying the musical’s original songs, I’m just really worried that studios are abandoning Broadway-style show tunes in order to appeal to everyone. I know that many people dislike that style of song, but it always resonated with me so much and I’ve always found it cooler and more fascinating than pop. I get that pop can work sometimes, I just don’t want typical show tunes to die out. Let them be where they work.

Lastly. Back to Star-boy. Once again, while I would’ve liked to see him with the right execution, I am not keen on the idea of him being in a romance with Asha. I’m not anti-romance, and I do feel like they could have a sweet platonic bond, but the idea of a romance doesn’t click with me. I dunno why, but I find it to be kinda strange and wishy-washy. Maybe because she’s a normal human and he’s a genie-like magical entity.

As someone who actually thought Wish was alright, just could have used some tightening in places, I will say most of the songs were a bit lacking. You're right, the problem here was that the songwriters primarily had experience in pop singles and not musical numbers. (At All Costs and Knowing What I Know Now can stay though.)

I could take or leave Star Boy. I've seen some cute fan content, but I also just feel like a lot of people are putting way too much stock into the concept arts and some of the deleted scenes? It's a little hard for me to explain but I see people saying "It'd be a much better movie if Star Boy was canon" and I just think You don't KNOW that, though. On the other hand, while again we honestly don't know if AshaxStar was supposed to be a thing, I will say Wish is yet another WOC-led Disney animated movie with no love story, which... ye a h.

Hello,

How do you do ? I hope to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.

This is the link if you would to read our story well 👇👇
