Wow.
All of you here, no matter what side you’re on, take all of yourselves way too seriously.

Could you be more specific about how you think we should inject more humour into the conversation?

Really…?!
I can explain my joke to you, but, I can’t understand it for you.
Figure it out on your own.

I think most of the people contributing to this thread are making what they consider to be serious points, even if they disagree with each other. But you seem to be saying there’s something funny at the heart of all this that everyone is missing. That’s what I’m asking you to explain. I don’t mind if you consider me dumb for missing the joke!

 

[LittleBuford]

The only romantic relationships involving a man and a woman seem to be preexisting ones. Before Disney decided to go away from straight romances. Even then some of the preexisting ones involve females that want to put their careers ahead of their family (Mrs. Incredible).

Anna and Kristoff’s wasn’t preexisting.

I’m surprised to see Strange World on your list given that it features a cutesy sequence in which the mum and dad are acting all loved up. I can only assume you haven’t seen the film for yourself.

Elemental, meanwhile, is entirely centred on a heterosexual romance, though I suppose your “non-human” clause means we would have to (conveniently) discount it.

(There are numerous other films on your list that don’t hold up to scrutiny, but I doubt going through them individually would achieve much.)

Whoa you found one in the past 11 years, I guess it checked enough boxes to make it through.

I was just tryin’ to be silly and lighten things up a bit, that’s all. It’s in my nature.
Sorry it didn’t go over as such.

LOL I was reading that whole list and was seriously gunna respond before seeing some of y’all already did. Totally failed to prove a point with just the first 2 most recent films on that list

I know it was parenthetical, but I didn’t intend the following (which you included in your quote) to be ignored:

[LittleBuford]

In Frozen 2 it was.

Why was the original Frozen on your list?

 

[ParkPeeker]

Maybe you should read more carefully. I said humans and "Gunna" isn't a word.

Ok I’ll give you that one… still, Laughs in strange world

 

[ParkPeeker]

Idk how you watched strange world and came up with that conclusion when it’s shown in the first like 10 mins

Oh wait it was too “woke” for you to watch my bad

 

[LittleBuford]

Oh yeah, I was going to go from Coco, but changed because there's so many without a man/woman relationship. So there's 2 out of the 11 years. What a woke fail by Disney.

Let’s be clear. There are only “so many without a man/woman relationship” if you discount films with preexisting relationships (why?) and those in which non-humans stand in for humans (again, why?). But if you just, you know, watch the films without such strange criteria in mind, most of them actually do feature heterosexual romance.

And for what it’s worth, Coco, too, may not make the best starting point for your list, since Miguel’s human (albeit dead) grandparents are shown falling back in love, which surely qualifies as a new relationship.

Watching films is a thing of the past. Now we just post angrily about them and hope no-one is around to point out that we don’t know what we’re talking about.

Have you seen the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid?

While Zegler's comments about the original Snow White kinda rubbed me the wrong way, they were very off-hand/flippant comments during casual interviews over a year ago and shouldn't be taken that seriously. The backlash and dogpiling and online harassment Zegler has received is a disgrace. There's an entire YouTube industry now of people profiting off bashing Rachel Zegler.

The worst part is, Zegler can't even defend herself or the movie, as speaking about the film would be a violation of the Actors' strike, so she just has to stay put and listen to millions of people bashing her without the ability to fully speak up for herself.

Ehhhhh, maybe it's better Zegler not throw anymore ill-advised fuel on the fire. Sometimes silence is a good defense itself.

Also, you shouldn't be discounting Homosexual romances, either. That is the very definition of discrimination. Or is it only romance if it's man-woman?

What homosexual romances? In Strange World a main character has a crush on a guy who is featured in one short scene at the beginning of the movie and is featured in a montage at the end of the movie. They do not hold hands or kiss, like the straight couple featured in the movie. In Lightyear, a supporting lesbian character is seen — in the middle of a montage showing the passage of time — kissing a spouse that has no lines and is not seen anywhere else in the movie.

Disney has never focused on a gay "romance," and suggesting that straight romances have been pushed aside in favor of gay ones is laughable.

BTW in the list another example of romance is Felix and Calhoun in Wreck-It Ralph. Male and female, met during the film - it’s even a “love at first sight” thing and even get married.

They fail the human requirement.
