News Jessica Rabbit's Car Toon Spin

[lazyboy97o]

They also added a figure in the first scene...needs to be seen to be believed.. Surely they're not finished??





The staging looks awkward. They should have waited till they closed Toontown.. this is just confusing to me.

Who is she telling to “Talk to the hand”? The weasel has his back to her. Is she telling the riders? Whatever she is supposed to be doing she just looks like she is being completely ignored.

So they just covered up a woman who happened to have a certain body shape.

Good job Disney! You tell those women how to act! They need to have decency after all!

Exactly. That's exactly what this feels like. Were they getting complaints? I don't get it.

Just like the changes to Pirates of the Caribbean, I'm sure there were little to no complaints.

Their "solution" to a problem that never existed is more offensive than whatever it was trying to "cover up".

It's not offensive.

The placement of the first Jessica is terrible. What are these people doing?

It's not offensive.

I’m not female but I could at least see how a viewer of any background could genuinely argue that this scene is equally if not more so offensive depending on the eye of the viewer.

The implied suggestion with this trench coat change is that Jessica Rabbit was dressed “indecently” and needed to be covered up. This is more in line with more old school second wave feminist perspective which in some ways shares more similarities with orthodox religious principals of today. I.e. the role of the “male gaze”, questioning gender roles/work, etc.

But this is 2021 now and it’s 3rd/4th wave feminism now. With an emphasis on broader sexual liberation and freedom of choice. Of course it’s been a long time since I took a gender studies course but the takeaway is this is at best a neutral.

Go tell a busty woman she needs to cover up and see what happens.

Good grief

Anyone who thinks that covering up a woman is the new societal norm has never spent more than 5 minutes looking at Instagram's Search & Explore feature.

Jessica Rabbit isn't a real person. She is a character and Disney gets to decide how she is portrayed.

If a real woman decided she wanted to cover up, would you be offended by that? Probably not.

Some of the comments in here are so hyperbolic.

The figure still has a defined waist, and is a busty as ever. If people are worried about her sex-appeal. I’d say it’s still present, in a toontown attraction no less.

This change is so minor, it barely warrants a thread.

Here is the new look for Jessica -

Just watched the video, the only notable addition was Jessica given new dialogue ("You won't get away with this") which ends abruptly.

Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees.

As long as we continue to accept these "minor" changes before long you lose Splash Mountain, the redhead, Trader Sam...

I certainly would hate for those things to happen.

And I've been fine with all those changes...

Disney defender. Not worth my time. Back to ignore.

 

[CaptinEO]

Lets animate a robe over Princess Jasmine, how indecent can they be!

That’s your opinion but it’s a fact that so far almost every change has been a downgrade from a thematic, artistic and entertainment perspective. Jungle Cruise is debatable.

All of them are debatable. They're all subjective.

The fact that you re ok with them being gone is subjective. What replaced them being a downgrade is very much objective for POTC and Jessica Rabbit
