DISNEY Can’t Be Trusted With Remakes! 

The audience cheering only means that the writers are patting themselves on the back and sniffing their own farts.

I genuinely HATE modern day movies and television shows. It’s why I don’t watch tv🤦🏾‍♀️

As a black woman! I can see that Disney is really trying hard for people to look at eachother differently. It’s never let us as different races start to work with eachother from now on because the past is unfixable. It’s always something negative. Because as a person who isn’t racist I don’t look at people and see their race I literally see a human being with the same or different biological features as me. My biggest problem is that this is going to influence children to start looking at eachother different it’s sad..

How the Proud Family handled race and different ethnicities back in the day was wonderful. One of the episodes that showed this was when there was a school project where everyone had to switch households for a time. Penny went to live with a Muslim family. The way they did that episode 👌🏾. The way they did a lot of kids' shows back then was amazing. They didn't go about blaming people, victimizing people, or separating us when we needed to come together. They didn't CONTINUOUSLY bring up racism or privilege. Nowadays, shows are teaching kids how one race are victims and how the other race should be ashamed of themselves. How one race is the privilege and the other is underprivileged and needs all the help and the other none at all. Smh, today's kids are sadly fkd.

As a male white kid, I also watched Proud Family as a child, and the show was a perfect example of how representation doesn't have to, and more over, shouldn't, alienate. If you want people from a different race, sex, religion, culture, to understand you, empathize with you, and support you, you don't do it by turning against them and making them your enemy. This 'us' verses 'them', obsessing over our differences, and demanding the other side to listen to your struggles, while discounting theirs, only serves to further the wedge between us. Racism can only perpetuate if we are cognizant of our racial differences, so why then do we focus on the later when we want to end the former? Drawing a line in the sand, and segregating based on our differences, does not lesson the divisional power of those differences, it eccentuates them, it does not unite, it divides. We are essentially giving power to the racial conflict, when our actual desire should be to de-esculate it.

People who are not racist don’t really see or notice any difference other than skin color and cultures, and appreciate those differences. Big companies like Disney are trying to make people see the differences and be bitter and angry about them.

Another episode this season focused on the character Zoe being asked out by a guy she did not know only likes white girls. Instead of letting her know, the group of friends get angry at her and takes back her invite to a party Penny has every year. Instead of the characters taking accountability for how they treated her, it ends with her proudly saying that he admitted to it and she is no longer going out with him. 🤬

I think about watching "Hey Arnold" growing up, and how it also had a broad range of people represented, and never made it a big deal. Me and my close black friend joked about being Arnold and Gerald when we went back to watch the show later on in high school. I hope they don't reboot that and ruin it.

Yall I just found this out last night... My 15-year-old white niece goes to a school where the majority are black students. At the end of last month, she and other white students started receiving messages thru text and social media saying things like "black history month is almost here yall need to be ready". Then on February 1st, some of the black students started sending their Cash App info to the white students. My niece is going through a lot of stuff right now and just got out of a mental health hospital 2 weeks ago. Now she is being forced to send money to classmates just because she's white and they're black. If she refuses to send money she'll get labeled a racist and beat up. My niece and the other white students are terrified to report this to the school. My sister (her mom) is trying to get screenshots to take to the school board but my niece is scared they will find out it came from her phone. It's not all the black students fault... it's stuff like the new proud family is saying that is pushing these kids to believe they have the right to do this to white students. I still can't believe this is happening... we aren't sure what to do from here.

I remember (as a white young girl) watching the proud family episode about martin Luther king back in the day. I believe penny had somehow went back in time and saw how segregated schools were. Her and her white friend zoe i believe (also was her in this current clip) united. Honestly i think I teared up at the end of that episode when penny did a rendition of MLK’s speech. It was a perfect way to showcase it’s audience a part of our history but showed the power of everyone getting along. United we stand, divided we fall. The rhetoric being taught in this clip of the reboot is inherently divisive.

I'm a white girl, I went to a predominantly black school most of my life. Even if I didn't I believe I would have still loved the Proud Family. I watched it all the time with my friends at their homes during sleepovers, and stuff like that, and also at home on my own. Even as middle schoolers at the time we still loved this show, and That's So Raven, and Sister Sister. We also watched Mary-Kate and Ashley Movies, and Lizzie McGurie, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, 7th Heaven and Evan Stevens etc. I loved that we could all watch things together during that time, and just enjoy them, and not worry about the fact the characters in the shows looked like us or not. I'm not saying that's not cool because me being more of a curvier girl I loved Raven just because she was the only one on Disney Channel that had a body that looked like mine in some way. However, seeing this is very disheartening because the Proud Family was such a GREAT show, and they killed it.

I knew I smelled a rat when I watched the first episode, and one character's whole personality was going "sheeeeesh" 🤒 and then the new character that is all about activism 🤢 now this? 🤮 One of my favorite Christmas specials is the proud family one about Kwanzaa. It's just about the Proud Family learning about it, then, the family that taught them weren't real and led them to a homeless white family for Oscar to get the dad a job. A wholesome story celebrating black culture and togetherness of white people and black people. What. A. Difference.

I grew up on The Proud Family and I hate how the reboot has ruined it. Also, Lacienaga is a latina. Why does she need reparations?

Disney has ruined a lot of childrens childhoods

I feel like people often forget the slave trade was a TRADE. You know what that means? Africa was not only giving black people from their country but was TRADING THEM for goods. This was a business transaction they should be asking Africa for reparation too. Smh Either way it's old as hell and we need to move on. As a black person I'm so tired of this bull always trying to shove this victim mentality onto black people.

Remember that the Disney producer who was BRAGGING about her “not at all secret gay agenda” was a “Proud Family” producer.

THE FACT THAT THEY CAN EVEN MAKE THIS SCENE HONESTLY PROVES HOW DIFFERENT THE WORLD IS. WAY TO KILL YOUR MESSAGE.

Let Disney learn by loss of profit. This is ridiculous

It's so weird to me when they say we never had diverse shows until now. Like, as an also biracial (latina/white) 90s kid/Y2K teen I grew up watching The Cosby Show, Hangin with Mr. Cooper, Sister Sister, The Proud Family, The George Lopez Show, Taina, Smart Guy, My Brother & Me, Gullah Gullah Island, Jett Jackson, Kenan & Kel, and many many more (that's all I could think of off the top of my head). The reason I think no one ever realizes that is because they were never made into this huge ordeal about the first ever show to do this, or have that etc. They were just really good shows, we dont associate with them with diversity, we just associate them with good tv we grew up on. And yeah as a mixed kid it was awesome to watch shows like Taina and characters like Carmen from George Lopez etc go through their quinceanera or issues dealing with immigrated generational family dynamics, but it never felt super forced or like some sort of after school special tv show where theres a character for every minority group. Again, they were just characters going through a story and you could identify with them in some way no matter who you were - which to me is kind of half the point of wanting diversity/inclusion etc in your stories.

In the late 90s and early 00s; Nickelodeon, Disney and cartoon network were incredibly diverse. I'm 29 now. My generation had great shows with valuable lessons. Race wasn't even spoken of on the shows. Yes there were characters of all different backgrounds, but it wasn't really acknowledged cuz they taught us to look at each other as individuals and not by color. This shit is getting crazy

Because they hate you and your childhood experiences. They hate the past, they want to "fix" it all.

i dont get whats happening with disney they do diversity well in the modern age, look at moana, soul, the incredibles, encanto, pocahontas, mulan , aladdin to name a few, its like when they try tell a good story they succeed when they try to lecture they lose, just keep doing the good stories

Surprised they didn't turn them into the Pride Family

I can't believe we live in a world where Beavis and Butthead (reboot) is better than The Proud Family (reboot)

Thanks for this. I am a white, retired K teacher who taught many minority children how to read, do math, write and study science. I was just called "rich, white B" over and over by 2 big high school dudes in my upstate NY town, all the way down the street for 2 blocks, from across the street. Thought about turning back but stubbornly continued on my way. 66 years old.

As a Hispanic I demand reparations for the enslavement of my people in 8th century by the Moors. Or dose reparations only work for some people .

Funny how they act like it’s ONLY black people who were slaves even though that’s not true at all and there was Chinese as well as other races who were enslaved as well…..that’s disgusting. Everyone needs to make sure their kids don’t see this garbage. Have your kids watch only the old school stuff that was wholesome and taught life lessons until all this craziness passes!

The OG proud family was one of my favorite Disney shows back in the early 2000s when I was a kid.

10:09 I respectfully disagree, this show isn't attempting to solve racism, rather it's attempting to foment racism. This is from "the answer to past injustice is future injustice" school of thinking. Interestingly if one thinks about this philosophy for more than 10 seconds you realize it creates a never-ending cycle of hate based musical chairs with only the victimized and victimizer swapping places.

I really wish Disney would stop ruining my childhood 🙁

I'm glad more people are speaking up about this. This show is worse than Velma and doesn't get talked about enough. I think it's worse because this show is targeted at children and trying to indoctrinate them with racist divisional politics.

As soon as I heard "Louder and Prouder" I knew it was going to suck.

I remember when in the OG series for Black History month Penny didn’t take the assignment seriously because her parents and grandmothers past seemed foreign to her and why wouldn’t it? Most kids can’t imagine their parents time or time when they didn’t have basic things. So Penny was warped into 1955 and where she and Zoey weren’t friends because of their race, Penny couldn’t believe this reality, but later she gets Zoey’s vet for her bird and tell Zoey about a future (her present) where they are best friends. They later lead a peaceful protest where everyone was together despite their race and Penny recites Martin Luther King’s famous speech. Which brought everyone together. Then she goes home and later realizes she had a weird dream. We learned about black history with Penny, and to appreciate our lives as Penny does. I actually enjoyed the first season of Louder and Prouder, my favorite episode where Penny’s voice changes because what kid/teen doesn’t go through that (but it wouldn’t be The Proud Family without them hiring Tone Loc to do Penny’s singing voice) I loved it. I saw previews for the second season and was a little freaked and now I know why

This is incredibly disparaging, disgusting, race, baiting propaganda of the highest order. Goodbye Disney as far as me and my family go. Whatever happened to a unifying message?

They talked about race in the old show as well... the one that stands out was when Penny had a dream back in 50s and I believe that was handled better then this... smh... 😮‍💨

I'm officially Done With Disney

The second you said Proud Family a little part of my soul died along with this woke remake.

As an 80s kid ive seen alot of my childhood destroyed by Di$ney. It doesn’t get any easier to see.

They also forget to add that African-Americans owned slaves as well! TRUE African-American people. Born in Africa and came here! My Haitian friend jumps people's a** constantly about the racism issues that do NOT exist!!! He tells people that he has not faced any racism here, for the exception of black people trying to oppress him!

As a white girl from a small town, this was one of my favorite shows, this and static shock. 😅

I'm so glad you did a video on this. I'm white and watched proud family all of the time as a kid with no thought of race. I was debating on watching this with my daughter but worried they would've done something like this, so I waited to see if anyone did a review of it. I'm so done with disney and all of the other companies that are trying to brainwash kids!

I love Amalas honest opinions and how she views the world unapologetically never stop❤️

I want to see your take on the episode in which Zoe is asked out by a black actor, and her friends make her feel ashamed because he's attractive, and the only reason he'd want her is that she's white. I'm curious about your perspective.

As a side note, I just want to say how much I enjoy the light that you bring to current events. You are such and intelligent young woman who is way beyond the curve! As a white woman of 65 years, it does my heart good to see someone of your generation consistently shining intelligent and meaningful content. Thank you so much for all the work you do to present these episodes.

I'm a 4th generation Irish man. If you look at history the Irish were slaves first and you don't see us bitching. I think it's all crazy. Your were right I have never owned any slaves and they have never been slaves, I have never met a slave in my life. God Bless

I feel people forget America was built on religious freedom, not slaves. Yes people brought slaves over but America was built on escaping England and England wanting to expand.

There are many reasons why I didn't watch this: 1. Cheaper animation( the animation in the original was good for most episodes) 2. Too many gags(the original didn't need to rely on this) 3. Tries too hard to be funny(the original wasn't this hyper and was more calm I guess) 4. Everybody should be older 5. They retcon some stuff All that other stuff is just the cherry on top. Now Proud Family did slightly touch upon racism in 1 episode in the last season (not counting the black history month episode). It really was a normal animated black cartoon about a typical teenager going through what teenagers went through

When I saw that clip from the proud family a while back, I cried a little bit. I remember watching the proud family because it was funny and didn't really care that they were a different color than me. I still think about how Disney had that commercial playing all the time about the grandmother sleeping and Penny turns the TV off and she says turn that back on I was watching that and then immediately knocks out again. Hilarious! These kids watching this today do not stand a chance and it is heartbreaking.

Personally I LOVED the Disney show Gargoyles that featured as a main character a kick ass female mixed race detective. That the show never felt the need to ever point out, a character who was well rounded and not perfect who sometimes needed to be rescued but was never a damsel in distress. An amazingly well written series that dealt with issues like racism, genocide, capitalist greed without ever preaching to its audience. Teaching concepts like forgiveness, redemption, personal growth and maturity. Oh I miss those days.

Simply put, I feel bad for this generation of kids...

at 3:16 you can just HEAR their faces shift from "uh, this is incorrect and dumb... ok ig..." to "DAMN THATS CRAZY" literally the eyes pop at the same time it's so funny

I loved The Proud Family growing up. It was a story about an American family who happened to be black. You didn't have to be black to enjoy the show. I remember it had one of the best Halloween specials of the time. and Wizard Kelly had some of the best lines. I hate that they made this remake to be so bitter. Kids should be learning about this stuff in school and from their parents. Not from their cartoon shows. The cartoons should instead be teaching them about friendship, family, working together, those sorts of things.

I vowed never to watch the reboot

So no one is gonna talk about how they take out the only Latina character in the show LaCienega…what the shit?!?

I used to love The Proud Family! I'm surprised the audience members in the crowd weren't wearing masks.

Im utterly disgusted

I loved Proud Family and a kid. It was an amazing and fun show. I knew when they were returning to Disney, I had no interest because I knew it was gonna SUPER WOKE.

They cannot create, they can only contort, distort, and destroy… there’s a biblical figure that has the same qualities… can’t remember who it is at this time, but I think it was the bad guy.

I LOVE YOU AMALA!! You have healthy thinking processes!!

Juneteenth is not a real holiday

I liked The Proud Family growing up! Oscar is such a meme. 😂 When I heard about the reboot and looked at some of the changes being made, it made me worried (especially the "louder and prouder" part in the title). I didn't hear much about the show so I assumed it wasn't that bad, but watching these clips for the first time made my mouth drop open. I'm glad I didn't see any of this stuff when I was younger or it probably would've made me sad that the characters in a show I liked hated me for being white.

I grew up watching proud family…. its sad that they had to take a show that I loved and turned it in to this…

as a little white girl i remember watching the proud family and thinking absolutely nothing about how the family was black, i literally just thought of them as normal people. never once did it cross my mind that either of us were different from each other. i don’t have any children yet but it’s hard to imagine one day that i would turn on this show for my kids. i don’t want my children to feel like they did something wrong or are evil simply because they were born white.

I'm a white woman who grew up watching Proud Family as a kid and LOVED it. I loved the hilarious characters and the messages of the show. This new one is yet another ruined childhood memory

Amala, your absolutely right. its terrible.

Victimisation only perpetuates victimhood.

Please keep making videos like this . Thank you Amala🙏❤️

the only way that episode would be acceptable is if her parents told her to stop being ignorant and schooled the kids on real facts

Pretty much everything said in the cartoon was a lie.

As soon as I saw what they did to Micheal, I knew that this reboot would be woke AF. Sure it was implied that he was gay in the original series, but they were subtle about it. Nothing about this reboot or woke culture in general these days is subtle smh.

Amala, Im surprised you even have a public voice in this world we live in. Im so incredibly thankful of people like you, that speak and defend truth, reason and common sense, bc in this era is lacking..... From Barcelona, God bless you, I pray Jesus blood covers and protects you, your family, etc. in Jesus name ❤

This needs to be another Velma situation. This is so cringe

They ruined DuckTales too. Season 3 of the reboot turned into a woke trainwreck. It hurt my soul to see such timeless characters have to address gay aliens, latinx nonsense, and "history is fluid" bull crap. I just want racecars, lasers, and aeroplanes. It's supposed to be a duck blur... not Frank Angones' fetish ideologies.

remember that time when OG Penny traveled back in time and tackled segregation, and the teacher was the grounds keeper? well not traveled back, more like had a dream everything had regressed, now that was some clever stuff

That's pretty rough. Good job calling it out gorgeous!

I loved the Proud Family growing up. They did have messages that often were themed around race but it never felt over the top. One of the best episodes is when Penny goes back in time to 1955 only to find out that Black History Month was originally Negro History Week and that the white and black kids didn't hang with one another. Penny realises just how far we had come in the 50 years since then. The best bit was when she calls her friend black and her friend gets offended and then when Penny gets called negro she is offended. It shows how these terms have come in and out of favour over time.

I was so excited to show my daughters this show when I saw they were continuing it. Had to take it off after 2 minutes

The money for reparations would come from tax dollars. That means they would be paying for at least a part of their own reparation.

its so much easier to hate than it is too love and as humans nowadays people tend to take the road most traveled

I’m in love with Amala tbh

I was a bit old for the Proud Family back then, but it seemed wholesome. I'm not shocked current Disney has perverted it.

This is why continues to divide Americans. Why must we constantly push this narrative of “systematic discrimination”, rather than treating Americans as one people.

I used to watch Proud Family… what have they done to my childhood man 😢

The proud family I grew up with was awesome. Discussed real topics without resorting to wokeness. Even covered the issue of the dangers of hypersexualisation in a family friendly way. Got right what the god awful cuties movie did wrong

I actually loved proud family. It was very iconic and now it's being burned down.

They want to blame my ancestors (Which btw as a white man my family didn't come here until the 1940s) what about their ancestors? Americans didn't go into Africa hunting down black people to be slaves. They were bought. By the black people there that did the hunting. The white man may have bought black slaves. But the black man sold them. Where is that outrage? Also Proud family, Osmosis Jones, Static Shock and Fresh Prince were staples for me growing up. Loved all of them. At the time didn't give a flying fuck about the color of any of them. Fresh prince is still one of my favorites. And Ive only ever cried when 2 Celebrities died. Uncle Phil and Robin Williams.

There needs to be a massive boycott of Hollywood and the Mainstream Media now. Its time the people stood up

I grew up on many shows (though "The Proud Family" wasn't one of them), my favourites being "Winx Club" and "W.I.T.CH." and I think they handled representation very well: the main cast included POC characters who were treated just as fairly by the creators of the shows like the white characters. They had their own personality, their own story; their race was unimportant, because there was so much more to them than that. Other shows, like "Monster High", "Jake Long: American Dragon", "Juniper Lee", "Yakari", "Totally Spies", "Samurai Jack", "Teen Titans", "Justice League Unlimited", "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", "Recess" were the same, and in some cases, they brought in certain non-American and non-European cultural elements in an interesting and fun way.

Rumor has it they are reviving Kim Possible, I hope it doesn't suck as it was my favorite show growing up but knowing modern day Disney it probably will. Could be wrong, hope I am.

I'm too old to know this show but good god! This doesn't seem like children's programming 😕

I remember proud family. Never realized they were black, at the time when I was like 4 I didn't even know what race was.

4:04 This came across as just free association and I laughed so hard lmao

The majority of slaves working on plantations had to literally give their all, every single day. If they didn't, someone, somewhere was losing money and as we all know, money is power and when that power corrupts... humanity gets twisted. However, I'd really like to know how a black someone in today's world can feel that same oppression? They can become the boss of corporations, command all walks of life, make limitless amounts of money in a capitalist economy... but, some still want reparations? 🤔🤯

The Proud Family: Grittier and Shittier™

the percussive accompaniment gives the vocals a strong last poets feel.

I'm white and Mexican and I loved this show growing up no matter what color you where you could relate in some way, I can't believe what they did to penny proud and the family ugh so frustrating I wish people would leave kids alone. This show should be banned its teaching kids to be bitter and hateful.

I'm sixty-nine years old. Walt Disney must be...well you know...rolling in his grave.

They’re basically proved their ignorance. Folks need to cancel Disney.

I'm so glad I didn't watch the new one despite my age nearing 30, I believe most remakes are not targeted towards older audience. Because usually remakes are done wrong.

I LOVE the classic Proud Family. I CANNOT get the stomach to watch the new ones...
