Do you dream?
The kind of princess dream of wearing crystal slippers under a quilt?
Or put the birthday crown on your head and fantasize that you are a prince,
Fight Air Dragon Daydream of marrying the beautiful princess of your dream lover.
I believe that many people yearn for beautiful fairy tales when they are children.
"In the end, the prince and princess live happily together~"
However, once the fairy tale dream maker Disney.
Gradually began to "blacken".
Now it seems that he is very keen to create "childhood shadows"!?
Remember the animated film The Little Mermaid released in '89?
The live-action version will be released in May this year.
Harley Bailey, the heroine of the live-action version of "The Little Mermaid", shared her joy for the first time.
"A dream come true"
Found it different?
The Little Mermaid is played by an African-American actor, not the cold white-skinned red-haired beauty in the impression.
Emmm, watched the trailer,
At first, I saw the swaying figure and shining scales.
A mermaid should be like this, right?
Then, things are not simple.
What's going on with this dirty braid!
Atlantis version of Ocean has hip hop?
There is even some dim picture.
You can't tell the actor from the background without looking closely.
I wanted to ask the prince.
Can you see The Little Mermaid in the sea?
The trailer was released, and the external network exploded directly.
Some netizens even used AI to change their faces and restore the original Little Mermaid.
However, it was banned for special reasons.
Recently, the casting of The Little Mermaid sisters has also been exposed.
I imagine that Aquaman's daughter can be so wonderful.
To be honest, Halle Bailey has the strength and the curry.
At the same time, it is in line with the original intention of "everyone can be a princess".
However, the contrast with the original is huge, and it is no wonder that the audience is uncomfortable.
In the minds of the audience, perhaps the mermaid should be like this?
Even if the skin color is different, it is beautiful and mysterious enough!
A live-action version of "The Little Mermaid".
It seems that you can smell a faint fishy smell from the actors.
You can even see the impact of nuclear wastewater on the ocean...
This wave of Japan is fully responsible?
Casting like The Little Mermaid is not precedented.
Last year, Disney released a live-action version of "Pinocchio".
The role of Blue Fairy is played by British actress Cynthia Elivo.
The original animation looks like this.
Very classic fairy godmother image.
In fact, the words of African American actors must be used.
You don't need to appear with such a shocking image!
But this fairy godmother is at least female.
The following is the new version of the fairy godmother launched by Sony.
was hotly commented by netizens: The devil changed to his own mother and did not recognize it!
Cinderella's fairy godmother in 2015 is like this.
By 2021, the fairy godmother became like this?
What a big guts!
Speaking of Disney, in fact, Disney has also refused to allow black people to appear in classic plays.
In 1997, ABC released a Cinderella movie featuring people of color.
Disney executives tried to cast Cinderella as a white man, but the producers refused.
Cinderella actor Brandi Norwood was a teen idol at the time.
She is also the first black princess in Disney's history.
The fairy godmother is the famous Whitney Houston.
For a while, the movie became famous and had an extraordinary influence.
But how does this sister look like a frog princess.
It simply can't be brought into the plot of Cinderella.
Maybe Disney was really stimulated at that time.
Begin to learn the same, regardless of it, look who black who?!
Even Disney's first princess, Snow White, has to make trouble when she comes out of a live-action version!
Go straight to Snow Black!
The live-action version of Snow White is played by Rachel Zeegler.
OK, not an African-American princess, changed to a half-blood?
Guess who is the Evil Queen?
Gal Gadot, family, Wonder Woman!
Sister, you are the most beautiful, Snow White is not as beautiful as you.
Seeing such casting, it's hard not to believe:
The main reason why Snow White has a bumpy fate is that there are too many villains around her...
On March 1, the live-action film "Peter Pan and Wendy", a remake of Disney's 1953 classic "Peter Pan", also released a trailer.
Played by African-American actress Yara Shahidi as Tinkerbell.
She shared the incident on ins.
The actor of The Little Mermaid, Halle Bailey, also came to the scene for the first time to express support.
Compared to the 90s, today's starring of actors of color in classic white classics does not get a lot of support.
With the creation of Disney, Disney's princesses have more people of color, but fewer than white princesses.
Perhaps, compared to creating new characters, the cost aside, whether the audience can accept the new characters is a big problem.
And having actors of color star in classic plays, although it will cause controversy.
But this is a more cost-effective option.
In fact, it has nothing to do with politics, aesthetics, actors...
Disney may not want to dream.
Creating new characters for people of color is difficult.
Just using actors of color to star in classic movies is enough to satisfy those girls' princess dreams.
Disney "perfunctory" them with the high-grade black of "everyone can be a princess".
It is not costly, but it can stand on the moral high ground.
Maybe dreams are not worth anything at all...
But we still expect Disney to tailor their princess dreams for different girls.
