Disney's "Woke" Nonsense starting to affect the quality of their movies

Rating: 6/10 (13 June 2019)

The live action adaptations of the Disney movies are a great idea being ruined by the social justice warriors running the company now. Beauty and the Beast was set in the 18th century and featured minorities all over France in the town Belle lived in, some even in high-ranking posts they had no chance of realistically holding in those days. Princess Jasmine all of a sudden has her eyes on becoming a Sultan and even has a "girl power" musical number? Really guys?
Now, you would think that Disney would follow the formula in Beauty and the Beast and cast all sorts of races as the townspeople in Agrabah, right? Nope, everyone is either Middle Eastern or black, which is believable for Arabia in the Middle Ages. So why get so militant about blatantly misrepresenting 18th century Parisian town demographics and history but then faithfully cast Agrabah with historically accurate demographics? Practice what you preach because you're hypocrites.
The Jasmine "girl power" nonsense didn't sit right with me either. I wanted to walk out. It was so obnoxoius. It may be a good reason the box office as well as the reviews for this movie suffered. It was just incredibly stupid and unrealistic. If Disney continues in this direction, I will not watch their movies anymore. I'm not paying money to be lectured by liberals.
I felt Will Smith was miscast. I love him but this wasn't right for him. Mena Massoud as Aladdin did a great job, Naomi Scott was upstaged as Jasmine by Nasim Pedrad, her handmaiden. That's not supposed to happen! Nasim was a far more believable Jasmine than Naomi. total miscast! The rest of the casting was spot on aside from Disney's hypocrisy with casting the townspeople. If you're going to set the tone that it's a fantasy and people of all races can be anywhere, do it in all of your movies or you will look foolish, thanks.
