There's nothing wrong with being modern and inclusive if you're making a current version of older material. It doesn't necessarily mean there was something wrong with the older material or that it needs to be replaced.
From what I recall, The 2016 Jungle Book mostly hit the same beats as the 1967 version, although in a different order that structured the story less episodically. Completely different from the live action 1994 version, which was basically Tarzan in all but name.
I was there that very weird week too, and I remember seeing this meet and greet. Let's just say there wasn't much of a line. The second time I walked by the characters weren't even there, it was just meet and greet the van.
They've been holding auditions this summer for a new Joe character CM who'll play piano in NOS at Disneyland -
Perhaps you'll like her in Snow White too. How you feel about her real-life persona need not ruin your enjoyment of her performance.
As I've pointed out multiple times already (though people keep ignoring it), her messaging was consistent with what's been said about all the princess-movie remakes. The female-empowerment angle has been Disney's brand for many years now; it's nothing revolutionary at this point.
Again, she will be the lead in the Hunger Games prequel that drops in November. You need to calm down.
You’ve never heard of The Hunger Games???????? That’s hard to believe.I don't think anyone is overheated on this topic, are they? It's a source of bemusement and chuckles for most of us here. The level of PR clumsiness is something to laugh at, not cry over. (Unless you are Rachel Zegler's agent, of course).
I've never heard of this Hunger Games movie, as I didn't see the first one. I'll look forward to seeing how this Hunger Games movie does at the box office this November. It will be fun to track along with Disney's two tentpoles that month; The Marvels and Wish.

It will be the fourth one. It is an extremely successful series.
Curse?????? She won the Golden Globe as Maria in West Side Story. You probably know this just as you probably know The Hunger Games series is a worldwide phenomenon. She was also nominated for 18 additional awards for West Side Story and she won three of them - four in total. She is not a box office curse.
It’ll be interesting to see how this movie does, the series had 4 movies (2012, 13, 14, 15) and they were all linked as one story based on a 3 book series. The first 2 movies did great and then people kind of lost interest but the last still pulled in $650 million. This will be a stand alone based on the 4th book that’s set about 50 years before the other books. Similar to how the Fantastic Beasts is part of the Harry Potter world but not really directly connected to the original story, as such I don’t think it’s going to match the box office of the others, if it can match other add on movies and pull in 60% of the series last movie it could bring in $400+ million, whether that’s enough to turn a profit largely depends on how much they’re spending on it. I cant recall audiences asking for another Hunger Games movie so I could also see this not finding an audience and flopping spectacularly in todays hostile movie market.
There is no Ziegler curse…quite the opposite…it was her pretty unanimous praise for West Side Story that has led to more opportunities for her
I'm not sure they are. I don't see a lot of buzz for it. I know my wife who absolutely loved the books, picked up all the movies, hasn't shown an ounce of interest in it. And she's the target audience. It could do well but It's by no means a guaranteed slam dunk success.
