Lot to unpack here.Moana was a beautiful film visually, I just thought the story needed work. Let's not forget to mention the absence of a villain, just a slightly awkward yet beautiful Disney film. How would Disney benefit from creating a sequel to a film that was and will likely never be bigger than Frozen? What, will Moana and her clan of wailers venture off to some latin foreign land or vise-versa? I don't know...
Oh! And I almost forgot to mention... Lin Manuel again? I'm not a fan of his at all.
PS: There were absolutely no Puerto Ricans living in London during Mary Poppins' time.

Maybe it’s just me since I’m hispanic and I live in a mostly latino dominated city, I look at him in the movie and think he’s gonna bust out with “Hay papa! Whatcha doin’ with Maria?!” to one of the young characters.He's not Puerto Rican in the context of the movie. Just another cockneychimney sweeplamp lighter.
Oh well... it is the PC era in Disney films nowadays.
I'm just not a fan of the cultural and historic inaccuracies. I've seen it in all the current live action remakes, Cinderella with Brandy... yeah cute made for television movie but who even remembers that?It's been 22 years since the 1997 TV adaption of Cinderella with its colour blind casting. This is not anything new or recent for the company.
Spaniards came to Hawaii in the 1700s and there are a lot of interesting stories associated with that throughout Hawaiian history. (Now I'm assuming the story is using Hispanic and Latino interchangeably, which I realize is controversial.)I'm just not a fan of the cultural and historic inaccuracies.
It's Europeans being erased from their history, so that's okay.Maybe it’s just me since I’m hispanic and I live in a mostly latino dominated city, I look at him in the movie and think he’s gonna bust out with “Hay papa! Whatcha doin’ with Maria?!” to one of the young characters.

There were also no witches left in England at that time to be magical nannies since they burnt them all.PS: There were absolutely no Puerto Ricans living in London during Mary Poppins' time.
lol. It’s a fictional story, I don’t mind that. I just don’t like mixing fiction with real life inaccuracies.There were also no witches left in England at that time to be magical nannies since they burnt them all.
I did read one story where his father was quoted as saying it's a sequel, so that's a giant grain of salt. Regardless, happy to see Lin-Manuel in talks for another Disney flick.Bad clickbait title. The text of the article says it's a 'follow-up' with including Lin since he was involved in Moana.
It is *not* a sequel.
Other news outlets do not call it a sequel.
Yep. Magic Kingdom even had a royal coronation for her because she is (or was?) the first Latina Disney Princess, all branded by Disney themselves.So I was all sorts of confused. Didn't we hear about the first Latina princess coming to Disney a while ago in Elena? Then you read the article, and it states first Latina FILM princess, and then talks about Elena. Weird title to that article.
It is a big deal for young Latinas and Latinos seeing stories and characters that represent them. Regardless of the medium (books, tv, movies, video games, etc.).
(ETA: I agree that the headline of that article is inaccurate/misleading.)
It’s the label of being the “first of its kind”... that shouldn’t really matter. There will always be traits in a character that a young male or female will find regardless of race, color, or species for that matter.It is a big deal for young Latinas and Latinos seeing stories and characters that represent them.

Given your previous comments about PC-ness, I think I will have to agree to disagree with you and step away.It’s the label of being the “first of its kind”... that shouldn’t really matter.
