Rant incoming
I feel like the problem with a lot of Disney's live action remakes (and arguably Wish) is they're trying to appeal to a crowd that no longer exists, namely the people who used to claim that the Disney Princesses were sexist.
All the interviews tend to include, "Well she's not chasing a MAN anymore" which...almost no one sees the princesses like that, anymore. Virtually NO ONE still believes the princesses are man-chasing sexist caricatures of women.
Cinderella is now hailed as an abuse victim who stayed strong long enough to get help to get out of her situation. Anyone who says she should have saved herself is basically regarded as a victim blamer. And it's very clear in the film she wasn't looking to marry the prince, she just wanted a night off. She was the only one who wasn't in line to meet him. She didn't find out she met the prince until he went looking for her!
Snow White is now hailed for her negotiation skills, ability to calm down after extreme stress (she had a moment of panic and had to cry for a bit, but who wouldn't after finding out The Queen hired someone to kill you?), and ability to take charge of a house of adult men. And again, she was an abuse victim, this time trying to escape ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS. While she dreamed of her prince, it was secondary to her main goal of SURVIVAL. There are also entire video essays about how Snow White gave hope to people during The Great Depression.
Everyone acknowledges that Ariel wanted to be human BEFORE meeting Eric. We all know she was a nerd hyperfixating on humans, and also standing up to her prejudiced father.
We understand Sleeping Beauty wasn't the main character, the Three Good Fairies were, AND PHILLIP WOULD NEVER HAVE BEATEN MALEFICENT WITHOUT THEM! He literally depended on them! WOMEN SAVED THE DAY! But even then, is it really such a sin for a girl to fantasize about romance and fall for someone with corny pickup lines?
We all understand Jasmine just wanted someone to treat her LIKE A PERSON. She rejected every Prince before Aladdin because they treated her like a prize. So why did they need her to want to be Sultan? How did that make her more feminist when she already wanted to be treated like an equal and have a say in her future? Is it only empowering if you want a career in politics?
We admire that Belle, despite living in a judgemental village, was kind to everyone (even though she found the village life dull), and her story teaches girls that the guy everyone else loves isn't always a good guy. What's sexist about teaching girls about red flags? And she didn't start being nice to The Beast until he started treating her with respect and kindness.
Do I really NEED to defend Mulan or Tiana? I think they speak for themselves.
Rapunzel was yet another abuse victim who just needed a little help to get out of her bad situation. In this case, she also needed to learn that she was an abuse victim, and that what Mother Gothel did WASN'T normal, much like many victims of gaslighting.
And don't get me started on the non-princess animals.
Perdita had a healthy relationship with Pongo to the point she was open to express her pregnancy fears to him, and was ready to TEAR APART Cruella's goons for daring to touch her puppies as well as adopting the other puppies. Like, she was so ferocious the goons mistook her for a hyena! She's basically that "I AM THAT GIRL'S MOTHER!" scene from SpyXFamily if Yor were a dog. She and her husband were a TEAM.....but they made a Cruella live action to turn her into a girlboss?! The literal animal abuser!? THAT'S the woman you wanted to put on a pedestal when Perdita was RIGHT THERE!?
Duchess kept her kittens calm after they had been catnapped and was classy as heck. Nice to everyone regardless of social class during a time period where that was uncommon.
Lady stood up to Tramp when she believed he had abandoned her and didn't really care about her. She found out he was a heartbreaker and was like, "Nuh uh. No. You are not doing that to me! You put me through enough."
Miss Bianca from The Rescuers was IN CHARGE the whole movie, and was willing to risk life and limb to save an innocent child. THAT TINY MOUSE TOOK ON ALLIGATORS! And she picked Bernard to accompany her because he was the only one who wasn't ogling her. And then in the sequel SHE DID IT ALL AGAIN! I wish I were as brave as her.
Like, the public haven't accused these ladies of being sexist caricatures since 2014 (Actresses and actors don't count, they're out of touch like the rest of Hollywood) yet Disney is operating under the assumption that the public still thinks that way, hence all the "sHe'S nOt AfTeR a MaN iN ThIs VeRsIOn" talk.
The live action remakes are trying to attract an audience that doesn't really exist much, anymore, and back when it did exist, was comprised mainly of people who didn't actually watch the films. The Disney princesses are no longer seen as sexist, and feminine qualities are no longer seen as weak or undesirable.

Descendants referring to Pongo and Perdita as sidekicks when they're literally the protagonists of the original story, I'm just like "FFS!!!"

101 Dalmatians Sequel: Live Action (2000) "102 Dalmatians" v Animated (2003) "101 Dalmatians II Patch's London Adventure"
Full disclosure, these are not on the same plot and it is a bit like comparing apples and pumpkins (but we did 101 yesterday so...)

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Submitted kids:
Toriel: Chara, Frisk, the other six fallen human children. Also Kris in the Deltarune universe
Pongo and Perdita: 101 dalmatian pups
Propaganda under the cut!
Toriel:
1. “Within minutes of Frisk first meeting her, she shoots an evil flower for them, takes their hand to help them over a path of spikes, gives them a free cell phone, offers them pie, and gets called ‘mom’ by them.”
2. “They keep dying and yet she keeps adopting new ones, knowing how much it'll hurt if they die, because she's so full of love!!!”
3. “She is the most mom”
No propaganda has been submitted for Pongo and Perdita

Kaa and Perdita
Tumblr media
If getting stuck and stranded in the Jungle of India wasn't bad enough for the duo Pongo and Perdita, then stubbing into the infamous snake's territory was the cheery on the cake.
Pongo despite his worry and fear thought it best to find somewhere safe to rest for the night. He tried his best to reassure his partner that everything would be alright and there was nothing they could do till morning.
They took refuge in a tree nearby and Pongo quickly found slumber. Perdita on the other hand didn't find sleep as easy as her mate the dogs mind was too consumed with stress.
Kaa was watching from above and chucked with glee at the helpless creature below. The giant snake made his move swiftly and quietly not wanting to waste much time and risk the male waking up.
Perdita was no match and fell under the serpent's spell. But not before calling out to her companion and mate Pongo. However, it was to no avail and Pongo slept though her plea. She was quickly silenced with a strong tug of Kaas powerful tail.
