Disney Remakes Need to Die (and Peter Pan and Wendy is Unwatchable Trash) 

It was what she wanted...

Feminism in a nut shell.

​@@moxiemaxie3543oh really? hmmm.. I thought it was because she was so unlikeable that no one can stand her ego😂 /s

​@@moxiemaxie3543 yeah sure

​@@johnhawthorn5393 its something that She herself saw in Her mind. So yes, She is looking forward To Her lonely end.

I wonder if that's the PPAW version of "the name is mighty thor!"

This power also doesn't belong to a MarySue or Karen.

Lol

I wondered whether they were referencing Éowyn before she killed the witch king. WK: you fool. No man can kill me. É (removes helmet): I am no man! (Death strike) I was wondering because the sentence construction of the Wendy line is clumsily awkward.

@@Thomasmemoryscentral It's more like the Witch King death scene "I am no man".

Never let anyone gaslight you for having pattern recognition. Whether it is blatant race washing or out of place and forced political messages, these things are red flags and no one should be shamed for recognizing them.

I mean, maybe they ARE all boys. Wendy really shouldn't have assumed their genders like that.

"Excuse me, we're Lost Peoplekind!"

@thefanwithoutaface8105 - the only way that line could have been worse is if one of the Lost Box Checkers said "did you just assume our gender?!"

​@@suzybearheart530Who are you? Cuisinarts! Every single one of us! But yiu're not all Cuisinarts. Did you just assume our blender?

Since Disney did NOT want Wendy, Tinkerbell and Tiger Lily to have any romantic feelings for Pan in this version (because it undermines their "agency" and girlboss awesomeness), they deliberately cast that dweeby, shrimpy, charmless and talentless kid to play Pan to ensure there wouldn't be any. Mission accomplished.

@@mkeogh76 you forgot "maidenless"

If this kid comes out as gay or trans or non binary or some other bullshut like this in a few years I wouldn't be surprised.

That was obviously deliberate; this icon of adolescent masculine energy had to be eradicated.

@@DespotofAntrim First the actor is a literal child and you're making fun of him for being "too feminine" second what exactly makes peter pan an adolescent masculine icon? Is it fighting pirates, or maybe living in a hovel?

It’s so damn obvious too... Every single bad guy (especially the goons) is a white guy, or at least someone who looks white enough at a distance. I want a movie where it’s flipped around; All the heroes are white and the evil ones are diverse to the max. Oh, imagine the outrage~!

Excuse me? You are attacking John Boyega for reacting to the racist reaction to him being cast? I SAW IT MYSELF LOL! Anywhere from youtube, to facebook to almost every platform. People were being racist towards him. I even debated many myself. No idea what you are trying to do there.

Who is "they"? When did the monolothic voice of black people tell you this? And why you picking race out of everything else? Black people have no problem with black villains, you are talking garbage. Provide evidence to the contrary.

​@@vertigo2894Welcome to the internet.

When the rich and powerful start telling us plebs that everything we loved in our youth was evil and that we need to toss it all in the trash, in favor of their newly minted & radicalized versions, there should be much doubt.

Study Mao Tse-tung's ruthless Cultural Revolution in 1960s China, where his version of today's woke ran wild, to understand socio-political compulsions.

It's pretty obvious. Just the fact that Kathleen Kennedy is still there.....destroying Star Warts

It wouldn’t surprise me that they eventually start remaking the movies a second time, and use the many flaws of the remakes to promote the reremakes

I had the impression that they signed a contract to make a live action for all their classic animated films so that even when they can see that people are tired if it they can't and won't stop. Probably from the first live action trend in this century (say Alice in Wonderland) someone said, "It's a success! Say, why don't we do ALL of them?"

When I was a little girl, I thought Wendy was boring, but that's just because I was a tomboy. As an adult, I have a much deeper appreciation for women's strength. As for original Wendy being the maternal figure for the Lost Boys, obviously the girls now included in the Lost Boys had no maternal qualities at all. I believe Disney/feminists absolutely hate the idea of women = motherhood, nurturing, commitment to one straight male and raising children, and traditional values in general.

I grew up seeing the play once a year, and Disney movies never. They were never on TV or anyplace else you could see them. Peter's supposed to be a woman, and Tinker Bell is a light reflected off a mirror. Disney's gotten so deep into "showing the world we live in" that they've forgotten fantasy isn't supposed to be realistic.

I like that Jason Isaac also played the dad

@Drones Club High Jinks No, you just hate anyone that’s not that. Btw “traditional values” about a century ago meant women doing backbreaking labour if poor and if in high society being passed around by their families to an appropriate suitor who ends up having 5 other mistresses anyway. To say nothing of how much worse it was before then. Your tradition is as manufactured as that. The movie is terrible but really, shut up.

@@dronesclubhighjinks Disney aren't filled with true feminists. Those new film directors running the show are what I consider to be "toxic feminists/false feminists. Real feminists advocate for equal rights, as well as independency from men. However, real feminists aren't going to as far as to completely bash men and promote the message that women are "better than men in every way." Real feminists have some pride, but even they have their limits. These new so-called "feminists," are simply just too arrogant, and they only take the feminists route, not to stand up for women rights, but mainly to boosts their own ego. It's honestly pretty sad how far they have fallen.

And the Elvis impersonators aren't selling themselves as something they're not. You'll never see one change the lyrics to pander to "modern audiences", or wear grey sweatpants and hoodies to nullify their "toxic masculinity".

And you can tell your mum the money's under the pillow.

Sadly, that probably won't be happening....if anything, it will be another record breaker, another billion dollar blockbuster winner for Disney, and they will take it as the ultimate triumph of diverse representation or some corporate nonsense like that

I know.. But it's nice to dream about it.

I'm here from the future to tell you that, no, apparently it's a bomb!

@@BWMagus Glad to know it's going to be! - From the past

Now, if they put that in a Predator movie, I might want to watch it.

​@@loupgarou-dj3tm 😂😂

You don’t care about race swapping?

No, no race swapping.

She looks good but she ain't Ariel.

I've read several books that go into detail about Atari's fall. One anecdote I will always remember is a video game designer (who sold huge numbers) asking management for a raise, the manager responded "The designers are no more important to this company than the guys boxing the games on the factory floor." The game designer quit and started a successful 3rd party studio shortly thereafter. Atari got what they deserved.

​​@@DespotofAntrimWhat the manager said, right there, is Peak Communism. Have you ever read Atlas Shrugged? I flashed back to the part about the death of the Twentieth Century Motor Company. It's pages 658-670 of the 35th Anniversary edition (March 1992). The guy's story about what happened afterward sums up postmodern life succinctly, as well: "Then the owner of the plant died, and the heirs who took it over, ran it into the ground. Times were bad then, but it was since then that things started going to pieces faster and faster. Since then, it seems like anywhere I turned---the place cracked and went. At first, we thought it was only one state or another. A lot of us thought that Colorado would last. But it went, too. Anything you tried, anything you touched---it fell."

Calling them LAR for short is also appropriate, as they're simply LARping as actual movies.

it is also just the evolution of a Empire. At some point every empire just becomes too large and starts falling apart.

Cronyism/corporatism

It's called cultural marxism. Notice this isn't an isolated event. When Netflix, the BBC, academia, even the US military all spew the same talking poimts, you know it's a deliberate move. Research Antonio Gramsci. Otherwise, I will be making another long essay in the comment about this topic again

And originality. It's nice not to see the same six movie references shown in every single one of Despot's videos.

There's room for both. Both are enjoyable and insightful.

@@BryceShamwowNo, no, no. We must break others down to prop up our favorites!

Agreed. She did a wonderful job in that role. That movie didn't have any inane political preaching in it either, and it was different enough from the animated version to qualify as its own film. I'll show my future kids that movie, but would never inflict the rest of the remakes on them.

absolutely, it stayed true to the essence of the story and actually gave 'Kit' some agency and depth, the Jungle book was okay .

I couldn't agree more, it was actually a decent film and I think the fact they made it a movie and not a musical was a good decision and when it came out I LOVED IT, such a shame that Disney decided to nose dive for money

Totally agree! It's a great Cinderella movie, not "woke" and not horribly written. In fact, it's the opposite!! They added some bits to flesh out Robb Stark and his father, and Cate Blanchett was awesome. "Have courage, and be kind" is the film's message, and God bless that message!!

I loved that remake, she was grand as Cinderella. I think beauty and beast was not that bad either, though it could use some grandeur.

We call them lost diversity for hires

They could’ve been lost kids, problem solved

@@Pollicina_db Exactly. Reminds me of the time Spiderman questioned why the Sinister SIX has 5 members

Because you people would cry about that instead

Yes, the Braveheart trailer was really well done!

Thanks man! That was originally going to be a Star Wars (New Hope) remake trailer but it just didn't work, probably because Star Wars is now so shite that it is beyond parody.

Even the Disney I grew up with in the 80s still had some reverence for Walt. Now they are just propping up his corpse to justify throwing out everything of his or letting it deteriorate until they have no choice.

Defining yourself with a brand, either by its presence or its absence, is a modern epidemic...

​@@Attmay I was born in the 80s at the time, so I had no clue what the company was going through. All I knew was that I loved the movies that came out at the time, and were worth watching, no matter what critics said anything. In fact, I had no idea critics even existed or anything about box office bombs. They meant nothing to me then.

A child of the 60s? must have some good genes if you are still kicking from being around back then, in any event I am a late 90s kid, I grew up with and loved disneys early 2000s content and the stuff from the 90s (even though I wasn't alive until the second to last year of that decade) when I heard that disney was buying marvel and star wars, I knew something was up and I was a kid at that point.

Wait, did you skip Disney Renaissance?

Only let your kids watch the original cartoons.

'The 90s was the last great decade.' Noel Gallagher.

I don't know. Permed hair, windbreakers? I wasn't crazy about the 90s. It just seems good because it was the last decade before it went totally off the rails.

Thanks Skaidon, I hope you get the opportunity to practice your art as an artist and not a political prop.

@@DespotofAntrim not political? You bring up several anti-trans sentiments in a video about a Peter Pan remake, sad creature and I didn’t finish your trash cruelty-for-cruelty’s sake.

Think of how your profession would be if everyone embraced the ultimate end of the process -- since skaidonC doesn't look just like me or act just like me I shouldn't have to see it on a stage. That's the end of the profession.

No, they are all identical, simple minded nobles, at one with nature and free from the corrupting influence of technology.

@@DespotofAntrim Ugh, I hate that interpretation by hollywood and most people these days. A subject for another video perhaps "The Truth about the Noble Savage"

Because if they accepted than native people have nuance and don't all act the same, they'll have to admit that not all white people are evil. If they accept that humans are complex, they can't villainize an entire race to make themselves feel like victims.

They also took out Ursula's lyrics about how people don't want to hear girls talk because they thought that was a bad message. Ursula is the _villain._ You're not supposed to do what she says.

@@BiggieTrismegistus Pathetic.

@@BiggieTrismegistuswell and its true don’t want to put honest things in a movie nowadays ig

They took that part out too, sooo....

You get it, keep speaking out.

The "pitch meetings" channel made a reference to the animators for the "Pinocchio staring at manure" scene as well at 01:52! Here is the link, unless RU-vid will not allow me to paste it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-57xcebZlQ0E.html The "pitch meeting" brings up a number of points that despot mentioned too!

Its because my generation was lazy and let happen, and the newer generation embraced it. Honestly the old fans who remain normally just look at the new ones and shake our head. And thank god we came in when we did. Still some glimmers as those younger than that are seeing their on independent stories. Not over yet, mainstream will die and with new opportunities independent will rise. To be corrupted and replaced. Tale old as time.

The same reason the political scene in the States is where it is. People took advantage of people who took high roads. Besides that much of the creatives are leftists. What changed is that THE MESSAGE became more important than money. As an example I am not surprised how RTD handled the 60th anniversary of Dr. Who. The background of the revival had hints in the early days of all the woke shit. What changed from then till now wasn't RTD it was the atmosphere of the era that the 60th special released. Now you can push THE MESSAGE without concern about entertaining people. You no longer have to be subtle or at least package it with entertaining writing. Nope just push THE MESSAGE and maybe you will luck your way into half way decent writing.

Exactly. That whole sentiment is all too reminiscent of, "too big to fail" and Disney can go talk to Lehman Brothers if they want to find out if that is really how it works in the business world.

They own ESPN so yes they will.

Perhaps they will get by because they aren't writers but propagandists.

What about it?

That's nothing. Check the sequel where her daughter, Jane, punches him.

"Read my pronouns out of my f*cking mouth!"

It's ma'am. It is ma'am.

@rgerber 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well they are social cancer powered by spite and esg score, it's quite close to the Galactic level force of devouring and destruction

The closest we've gotten to a fun action movie since Nobody (2020)

+ the literal millions of families who spent over 1K $ of products, VHS, cinemas, toys etc. to their children for over 50 years of excellence.

I agree with you completely. Why are they choosing to remake beloved children's stories looking depressing as hell? I watched the "behind the scenes" features for Lord of the Rings, and Peter Jackson explained how he desaturated or emphasized (idk correct term) colours in particular scenes to set or create the mood he wanted to convey. The desaturation occurred during Moria. There were more warm, autumn, earth tones in Rivendell. They chose to film in bright sunshine in the Shire. The "Jeeves and Wooster" TV adaptation is filmed with kind of a reddish-brown filter, which comes across as vintage and warm. Whoever is choosing to film the Disney remakes this way is definitely doing it intentionally. I'm not sure if they realize that kids are not going to be attracted to it. And if the kids don't watch it, they're not going to get "the message" now, are they?

They are disgusting to look at. Pinocchio was unwatchable, LAR17 is just as bad and LAR18 looks like a sewer pipe flushing into the seabed.

They're drab, grey, and depressing cos that's the way the globalists want the world to be.

FYI This movie is HBO's Conspiracy, which is movie about the most important members of NSDAP discussing the Jewish question in 1942

You might like "the little platoon." Good luck with your family!

"Woke fanatics". Thats pathetic

I'm really glad to hear that man. Hopefully they will one day see the light.

@@DespotofAntrim this why I love small channels. While big channels can be good, I feel like small channels with high quality content like this one fosters a sense of community which represents the internet and what it used to be. I am slightly divided though, half me wanting you to stay small and the other wanting the the despot to be the imperator

I miss the older Disney animation styles! The beautiful hand-drawn animation was incredible!

​@@20thPaulUnlike other studios of the time (and later), Disney made one picture for every frame of film. Everyone else used one picture for every two frames, or even three, if they were really cheap. To understand what this says about Walt Disney's commitment to quality (and apologies if you already do), bear in mind that: 1. 35mm synchronized-sound film runs at 24 frames/second. 2. Every picture in animated film is actually several pictures: the background, and a different clear sheet (cel) for each character, and anything else that moves. Fantasia is 120 minutes. That's 288,000 frames. Considering how many different things move in that, it probably required over a million cels. Also, the background also often moves. And in any scenes set to music, the characters move in time with it. The music and singing were recorded first, and the animators had to match the frames/second to the tempo. The characters' mouths, and facial movements, have to be synchronized with dialogue and singing. This was all done by hand. No ProTools, no CGI, nothing but weeks of learning the score til they knew it aa intimately as the musicians who performed it, with the sheet music in front of them while they hand-painted what amounted to three-quarters of a second of ONE character every day. I got curious about how they made these films when I was six (1972), and went to the library for research. I already knew how sync sound film was produced, but real, pre-digital animation is a whole other level. So yeah, when Despot and Critical Drinker talk about how postmodern globalists shit on the work of previous generations, and call these generations "insanely better", they're like Keith Moon: nailing it to the ceiling.

How dare you, zombies have ten thousand times more imagination the Disney.

Japan banned LGBT ideology and Ass-Slam on a national level, cos they still want to have a country. Galactic-Level Based.

@@emilyadams3228 Japan is awesome and America is screwed.

@@chasehedges6775 Japan's awesomeness is illustrated by two of my favorite things: railroads, and cameras. The history of the Nikon alone is fascinating enough. Nippon Kogaku went from being a nearly-defunct ex-military contractor in a country that almost didn't exist (and, legally, did not. It was Occupied Japan til 8 September 1951), to the maker of a camera system that re-defined what a professional camera is, and changed the industry as well, in just 15 years. Then there's the Bullet Train. It was so wildly successful that the revenue from it subsidizes the rest of the Japanese rail network, which has survived with almost no abandonment, unlike the rest of the world. For several years after WWII, most of Japan was reduced to a barter economy. By the early 60's, they had become an industrial powerhouse to be reckoned with on a world scale and things like Honda motorcycles, Sony radios, and the Nikon F had become legendary for their quality. I remember the Sony radio I had in 1970-73. It had a 2" speaker that sounded almost as good as a proper stereo, was AM and FM, and was about half again the size of a pack of Camels. For the whole three years I had it, it ran on the original 9V battery. I said to my dad "How can they make a radio like this?" He didn't know, either. That radio set me to reading about postwar Japan. I came to respect the country and her people. Since then, of course, I've had to watch the country of my birth and continuing residence (USA), along with the rest of the Western world, slide into degeneracy and rot according to the terms of the metaphorical deal with the Devil that is bending over for globalism, while Japan remains a real country.

Welcome brother.

The copyright is owned by a hospital? I've never heard of something like that before. But it explains why Disney think they can... doctor the script.

Exactly, I don't understand the hate from everyone.

Europeans, especially Germans for some reason, seem to have an idyllic fascination for native North Americans. There was a German writer, Karl May {pronounced "my"} (1842-1912), who wrote lots of novels about them, which were very popular. May never went to North America once (not surprising as travel wasn't very easy and was very expensive) back then. The books were respectful to the natives eg being one with nature, etc. (Rousseau's "noble s@vage" concept.) There is an Asterix comic involving "America" where they stuffed in every native stereotype (in the imagination of Europeans) possible, mixing into one group northwest Pacific Coast elements like totem poles, and teepees which were used by the plains (prairie) natives, etc. There is a Tintin in America book which was more accurate. (Hergé put in a colossal amount of effort for each East- and non-European culture to portray them accurately and also sympathetically at a time (1929-1967) when most people only knew negative or highly simplified stereotypes.) I do not believe the writers of the Asterix comic nor or of the original Peter Pan book and movie meant the depiction to be disrespectful to natives, although it's obvious why it appears disrespectful in 2023. Growing up in North America in the 1980s, where actual natives live, it never once occurred to my classmates and me that the cartoon natives were anything like the actual people we know. It was a cartoon, and it was from an old-fashioned time. Same thing goes for when our teacher read "Little House on the Prairie" to us. Ma Ingalls said politically incorrect things about the natives, but again, we knew the book was from "the olden days" and that this was one woman expressing fear. It did not influence our opinion of the natives in our community one bit, and we learned what life was like for pioneer settlers in the Midwest. Thanks for reading!

@@dronesclubhighjinksInteresting points. I was trained at Disney ( back in the 80s) I didn't note anything negative as it was considered a parody, much the same as Asterix is. The Darling family are a take on Brits to some extent, I don't see anyone crying about it. However, if a person is looking for negatives, they'll somehow find them.

@@dronesclubhighjinks thanks for writing, very interesting!

@@willpower8061 you mean you were an animator at Disney? Wow! You are correct that people who are looking for something to complain about, will always find something to complain about. Probably a third of TikTok is made up of people complaining. 😁

Not knew either, Disney did this in the late 70's and basically caused their best animators to leave. And then did their best to crush them when they recreated their own company. (Eventually financially they did) The Renaissance of the 90's was that way because of the dark times of the 1980's. For Disney they teetered on collapse. Disney thinks because the company survived that they can continue because the next Renaissance will be around the corner. Surviving almost collapse makes you feel invisible, without realizing the cracks that caused the original still remain.
