A goal is set and eventually achieved, without opposition. After all, it's much more nothing to have something happen than to have nothing happen. We Westerners are losing the precision of our language and inevitably our discourse will reflect our laziness. The results will almost surely be fuzzy thinking. My only caution concerns whether Disney is as deliberate as you suggest.
Personhood is a cluster concept, as is humanity.
Humans are both emotional and rational, but ultimately the emotions are more important. Maybe this is true of persons as well. A similar process could be used to explode most of the evaluations you make of the movie. But your lack of intellectual identification with it doesn't make it worthless. To emit footage which would inspire no discourse whatsoever is exactly what Disney would like to do every time.
