News Live-Action Tangled Remake in Development

The reason I say "human shield" is because it feels like they only cast people of color as Ariel and Snow White so that if anyone complained about the remakes, they and their fans could simply go "you just don't like it because you're RACIST!". Which is exactly what they did.

I never saw Disney do this.

As far as the fans, people can and do say just about everything. Some of the stuff I’ve seen on social media surely fits the label.

And that's not a slam at Halle Bailey, who I'm sure did a great job as Ariel.

Yep, I agree and completely get what you're saying. There's a reason why they decided to do a P.O.C. Ariel rather than just do Princess and the Frog. They wanted to have that built in excuse if it was terrible. These are the same people that called the fans bigots before the Obi-Wan series even premiered. So they could make the show The Reva Show guest starring Darth Vader and Obi-Wan.

Please show the receipts… I don’t remember any such stances

If they cast right with this one. Things have really changed for the better. I guess a company needs to be hit in the wallet (or purse) a certain amount of times, before they relent and do what's right.
