Did Disney Princesses really need the update? | A look at the Classics 

Exactly. You put it perfectly. Moana is a diverse strong female character, and she is just as beloved as any of the classic princesses, proving that when they do it right no one has a problem with any of that. People just want to be entertained and not preached at by condescending people. "Revise History" I really do believe that's the real goal here. It's not money and it's not because they "care" about marginalized groups or whatever their claim is.

@@ivillu It’s more like trying to fix their image so that they keep up with the current times, but in the process of doing so, they’re destroying their roots, and nobody should forget their roots no matter how scandalous. Walt had his beliefs, so what, he was a man of his time, but that will never change the fact that he was a dreamer, an artist and a businessman, and by combining all of that, he created one of if not the most important animation studio in the world.

@andreabanuelosavila2317 yes, they are. I've been discovering that that's the case for so many movies. It's really unbelievable, and I plan on talking about it on a future video

Dosnt that prove that progression and updates of old stories is natural and not something to be afraid of?

@@mar.s6516 In a way yes, I simply don’t get why there are mottos like “go woke go broke” if we go by that logic, Nimona, Arcane, the Spiderverse movies and Heartstopper should be utter flops, garbage, failures…yet they aren’t. And in a way, many of the things our parents watched and we watched as well are remakes of older material or were progressive for their time. I think the fear is focused more on the how the update is made rather than the update itself.

@andreabanuelosavila2317 well yes, but it also depends on the update. There is such a thing as "going too far"

blah blah blah

@@prowolf633 yes. I had an idea for one and i still have that idea but it wouldn’t fly with disney. probably with dreamworks but not disney. she was a princess i was watching the animated Mulan one night, this was years pre covid maybe 2010 2011, 2012, somewhere in that timeline. Anyway I noticed there were no special needs princesses and to this day there are none still to this day. so i wrote a script about a special needs princess named Natanya. disney should stop remaking movies and start making more timeless strong female animated characters everyone can look up to and admire

@@0deadx21 my bad, I didn't realize it wasn't

​​​​​​​@@ivillu The 2015 remake isn't much better either ... It's much better than the 2021 version,but doesn't compare with the original 1950 film ( no matter how hard some people try to gaslight us to believe it ) ... It does many things wrong in the writing, like making the Stepmother NOT make a bargain with Cinderella, Cinderella makes a dress anyway and is surprised when they " slightly " tear it ...😂😂😂😂 It tried to do Ever After but had zero understanding of how Ever After worked . The prince has more screen time and that's much easier to do in live action than in animation, especially in the late 1940's ( in the original the prince was the biggest obstacle for the animators hence the reduced screen time ), and that's the biggest " improvement " the remake did that people that like it harp on about even though the additional material creates a whole set of problems in the story later down the line ,the Stepmother has a very unnecessary tragic backstory that goes nowhere, Cinderella is supposedly much stronger but makes zero efforts to escape the room she's locked in ( in the case of the remake for more that a few days ... ) ,scenes that were properly set up and well paced in the original are rushed and come out of the blue in the remake ( the Stepmother somehow finds the slipper and Cinderella's true identity ) I could go on and on about the flaws it has, and though not visually as atrocious as the Amazon version ( complete eyesores ) the costume designs are all over the place and incoherent ( the step family dresses very mid 20th century while Cinderella's ball gown is very 1860's inspired and the servants and godmother dress like 1770's , while Cinderella's parents look very early 1800's and the prince loosely 19th century-esc ... ) Visual cohesion in a film I believe is very important and the original animated film had a way more consistent look as well as a much better script, in the remake the guy knows she's a servant yet tries the slipper on upper class woman way higher than her rank ( she met him in the woods in her servant attire , and at the ball confirmed she was the girl from the woods,he also knew her name ) some of whom are of a completely different ethnic background 🙄 ... It pretends to have a more proactive heroin,yet the way she's portrayed makes her come off as an airheaded doormat who always smiles like she's stoned 😂😂😂😂😂 One of the least bad ,but not good by any means ,the colours are also sometimes overly garish and oversaturated

@@alexp.d3689 If the 1950 film was live-action, it's be one of the laziest _Cinderella_ films in existence. The amount of shortcuts they took because animation is expensive and time-consuming is astounding. I noticed that people who criticize the 2015 film not copying the 1950 film lack critical thinking. Bargaining is not in Lady Tremaine's nature. How was that not clear? She demands, she tells, she doesn't plea or bargain. How the hell is cartoon characters tearing a dress apart because said dress contained their belongings even remotely comparable to having your mother and her dress insulted and then ruined, having insults thrown at you, and then right then and there being forbidden to go the ball, and all with in a matter of seconds? How is Lady Tremaine's backstory unnecessary? The only thing that wasn't shown on-screen is her life with her first husband, everything else she told Ella we saw it. Lady Tremaine serves as a foil to the main character - how Ella could have ended up as a miserable, jealous woman like Lady Tremaine did if she wasn't holding on to her kindness and allowed tragedy and sorrow to consume her. Unlike most "Cinderella" adaptations, this wicked stepmother is actually given depth and narrative purpose. Saying the 2015 film has scenes that are rushed and come out of the blue is absolutely ridiculous. What the hell are your examples? The stepmother finds the slipper and Cinderella's true identity. I guess you missed the scene after the ball where the stepsisters talk about the prince and Lady Tremaine notices that when Ella's back in turned she somewhat resembles the mystery princess, since only her face was enchanted to look different. *WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?* _in the remake the guy knows she's a servant yet tries the slipper on upper class woman way higher than her rank ( she met him in the woods in her servant attire , and at the ball confirmed she was the girl from the woods,he also knew her name ) some of whom are of a completely different ethnic background_ Which "Cinderella" movie are you referring to? In the 2015 film, the prince doesn't learn her name until the end of the movie. Because a broken glass slipper was found but the owner wasn't, the Grand Duke and the Captain of the Guards are send by Kit to search for the girl, and the Grand Duke uses the remaining slipper on every maiden in the land, so her can prove that the mystery princess in not to be found. As Kit is incognito, trying the slipper on women who don't look like Ella is not on him. _come off as an airheaded doormat who always smiles like she's stoned_ Which "Cinderella" movie is that? The 1997 TV one with Brandy? Lily James' Cinderella is the only one who acts like a believable person, almost all the other ones act like play actors putting on a show for children, complete with stupid dialogue, and random nonsense. _One of the least bad ,but not good by any means ,the colours are also sometimes overly garish and oversaturated_ Unless you're only talking about the scenes with the stepsisters, they're suppose to look that way, you uncultured swine. It matches their personalities, being over-the-top and garish. "I could go on and on about the flaws it has." Oh please do cuz so far I've seen *ZERO* What pretentious garbage you wrote. What nonsense. Then again, do not go on. You might as well have written other garbage like, "Why isn't her dress silver? Why isn't she wearing gloves, and choker and jewelry, and bla bla bla."

@angelarysdam2786 Oh yeah, you're right, I just assumed it was Disney, I didn't realize Cinderella was public domain. Either way, they went the same route Disney does, so what I was trying to convey still applies

@@ivillu How the hell do people mistake the 2021 Cinderella movie for a Disney movie? Aside from Disney's name being completely absent, it doesn't match with any of the Disney live-action remakes. The fact that it was a jukebox musical, the main character having a personality that's straight out of a parody film, and the stepfamily not sharing the names from the Disney animated movie should have tipped anyone to freaken check what company or studio made the film. It hasn't even been a decade since the 2015 live-action _Cinderella_ film, so mistaking the 2021 film for a Disney movie doesn't make you clueless, it makes you stupid.

@0deadx21 it does match up with the recent Disney remakes and narratives, with her wanting to be a "business woman" a girl boss, plus you have the actors speaking about "the classics" in several interviews so it's quite understandable for people to assume it's from Disney. I definitely should've picked up on that, but I didn't realize Cinderella was in the public domain, so I didn't think another company could make a Cinderella movie and just assumed it was Disney behind it.

@0deadx21 no need to be an ass though :)

@@ivillu Really? What live-action remake does the 2021 _Cinderella_ film's story and characters resemble the most, if any? Because it seems like a parody of the trend rather than actually fitting in with it. While watching 2021's Cinderella, I didn't get reminded of anything about any of the Disney live-action remakes, not even a little. The visuals, the characters, the dialogue, none of those seem remotely close to anything Disney. How's about people actually follow up on assumptions and search for facts. People are acting like the 2015 _Cinderella_ film didn't happen for some reason and that 2021's _Cinderella_ is a Disney movie with zero evidence on and off the screen. It's embarrassing.

@@anthonyfrias5533 none whatsoever

I completely disagree. If they wanted a black mermaid they could've just made up a new one, it could've even been in the Little Mermaid universe, but changing Ariel was wrong on so many levels. Naomi Scott wasn't terrible, but the way they felt the need to change Jasmine was disappointing.

Jasmine didn't need any changing or fixing, that's the problem. If you think Naomi improved her character then you need to re watch the old animated movie.

​@@Capydapy Actually there were some problems that we didn't see before that needed to be fixed. For instance- the Overdone Orientalism in the 1992 designs...sure there's still a lot of that going on in the remake, but at least they actually bothered to give Jasmine an actual default royal outfit outside of her engagement dress and wedding gown (from King of Thieves) instead of just having her walking around in her underwear for most of the time this time around. Sure it's not exactly what Persian Princesses wore, but at least she's got an actual regal dress now....and the parks now show her in a modified version of her wedding dress (changed to look Aquamarine like her default look so it isn't technically a wedding dress) after people were creeping...at a G-rated park. I mean really she's one of the Standard 6...and the first princess who isn't white and she's immeadiately seen as a "lady of the night"...that's really not good. That actually happened with all the non-white princesses except Mulan, Tiana and Moana. It seems a little sketchy to me. There are some times where things do need to be fixed. Maybe not everything, but getting Jasmine some actual clothes was a needed change...not just for Disney's safety, but for the actresses that play Jasmine in the parks due to occassional weirdos showing up and targeting her most frequently. The other princesses don't have this problem because their dresses cover enough...or when Ariel's in mermaid mode...they'll think "she's a fish out of water". (Literally😂!) Was it necessary to do a whole live action remake? Probably not, but sometimes character redesigns are warranted.

@@ivillu i get it but i have found that its not targeted for the people who are nostalgic of the old ones but to give the story s new life for younger generations and changing karakteristics to make the karakters more inclusive for everyone is great, like you talk about so many changes from already great karakters but they just made them more inclusive of other traits wich where lacking in representation like how belle got her hands dirty, its showing that not al traits have to be feminine its not degrading the original its just making them more inclusive as a rolmodel for everyone

@@Capydapy Anyone who watched the series would know that animated Jasmine would curbstomp live action Jasmine LOL

@kjandthediamonds4457 glad you loved it :)

@dawnie3296 I just watched it for a video, and yeah half decent is the right description 😅 I didn't realize that one was from Amazon

@softbread2073 Thank you so much!

Oh, nvm Realised that you're a bigot Typical opinions from homophobes ig

​@shes_tired girl... why would you comment on something praising it if you didn't really watch or pay attention to it?

@@ivillu i watched majority of it but I needed to ask about that because I personally didn't want to keep supporting someone if our beliefs differed that much I did watch the video- I watched up until you said there are only two genders

@@shes_tired a little hasty on your part to assume after watching half of one video that I would have the same beliefs has you. Especially with the topic at hand. And there are... only 2 genders. But, you're entitled to your opinion, just like I am to mine.

@@ivillu I didn't assume anything, I just don't go around thinking about someone's beliefs until something causes me to think about it I wasn't trying to argue with you about your beliefs, I was genuinely asking. I'm sorry that I was aggressive before (genuinely)

@PhilipMarcYT thank you so much! And yeah, I totally agree. Most of these remakes are total soul destroyers. Pinocchio is one of the worst ones. I haven't seen the Del Toro version. Is it good or just meh? Again, thank you for all your comments it means the world 🙏

@@ivillu Del Toro's Pinnochio is superb although it feels like most didn't bother to watch it (it was released on Netflix, I think, and Netflix movies don't have a good reputation by itself).

@PhilipMarcYT I'll have to give it a watch then

@HeatherNickless-vt8zr you'd say yes? They do need to be updated?

@@ivillu; Yes and they have been doing that and can continue to do so if they feel they should.

@@HeatherNickless-vt8zr they can, and they will. But the ones they've made so far are all pretty bad imo

@@ivillu; Everybody keeps saying that; Why am I the only one contrary to box office claims? Oh, I know, it is because I don't believe in their ratings🙃😅.

Well, if you can't handle the fact that people may have differing opinions from yours, then this channel is definitely not for you ;)
