Disney Launches Internal Attractions Diversity and Values Review Team

Multiple sources have reached out to me today to inform of a new review board being assembled to look at Disney Parks shows and attractions for elements that do not align with as of yet not public principles. My sources do not know if the review board has been filled or by whom. They do both...

If they're that worried about the Neverland Indians, why not just remove those figures that are in the ride for 2 seconds (at least in the MK version)?

Also kinda off-topic but still relating to PPF and PC changes, but why hasn't there been a renovation in the 40 years that Cory Burton's been voicing Captain Hook to make him the voice actor in MK's PPF to replace UNKNOWN 1955 DISNEY STUDIO EMPLOYEE that sounds nothing like Hans Conried?

Why weren't they willing to hire Corey Burton (who does a pretty good Paul Frees impression) to play the Auctioneer in the 2017 Pirates refurb?

Something going on with Disney and Corey Burton?

For Small World why not just have every country represented by people in business casual attire working in cubicles?

My love of country music began with an interest in the Country Bear Jamboree. Here's a good country song with a timely message.

So let's change the one ride that is about brothership, peace and humanity living together as one for some more tribal, segregated and PC.

I finished my long Star Wars marathon of movies and animated shows. Last night I finally watched The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. My review:



They produced it as a comedy, right? Right????

In other news, Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano in Season 2 of the Mandelorian?!?!?!?! I hope so. It's the fandom's most desparate hour. Help us Dave Filoni, you're our only hope.

I just...NOW...learned about the Hans Kristoff Anna Sven thing (Hans Christian Andersen). Am I the only one late to this party?

Wait, what?

Huh. Is this a "for real" thing? Or just someone reaching?

Apparently it was an intentional Easter Egg by the film makers.

That is about right.

 

[DrAlice]

That is about right.

At this point, all you can really do is laugh. And then, go cleanse your mental palate with a rewatch of Empire or The Mandelorian.

EDIT: I didn't think that Disney could top the ridiculousness of "helicopter light sabers" or "hyperdrive space whales" from Rebels. Oh how naive I was.

Not at all. I just now learned about it from you.

I kind of love it.

I haven't seen it yet, having missed it in the theaters. I've hovered my thumb over the button to watch TRoS on D+ a bunch of times, but I just can't quite punch it yet.

This may be the most eloquent film review I've seen in years.

Oh, it's highly entertaining if you view it as comedy. Grab your favorite beverage, set your sarcasm to maximum, and your expectations on low and you'll have a good time.

Did you roll your eyes at the kiss scene like we did???

 

[SuddenStorm]

Did you roll your eyes at the kiss scene like we did???

I groaned.

 

[Curious Constance]

I groaned.

I mean , what was with that anyway? They were so desperate to portray the female as the strongest, bestest, can physically kick the butt of any guy she meets, and then they have her KISS a murdering, delusional psychopath??? Whatevs.

What do you mean? That was the best lesbian kiss ever.
