I’m not listening to anybody that’s mentally deluded themselves into believing that they’re Isabela from Encanto or whatever the fuck that means but thanks for the reblog I guess
people, can't believe i have to say this, Asha and Isabella don't look alike. look at the wildly different profiles! they are just both disney brown girls with dark hair in purplish dresses
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Similarly, Asha does not look like Esmeralda
Tumblr media Tumblr media
or even really Elena
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you know who's face profile she does map over?
friggin'
Tumblr media Tumblr media
rapunzel
Tumblr media
the hair even parts in the exact same place!
c'mon disney, did you have to reuse this body model AGAIN? you think just because you tweaked it very slightly, we wouldn't recognize the same silhouette??
Tumblr media
disney, you just did Encanto, did you learn nothing about designing female characters? You also did Raya, and Strange Worlds, and Moana-
let 2010 gooo already

I just want to know where Magnifico came from. Like what do you mean this white man had his land pillaged and destroyed? Usually it’s the other way around

No, but it is evil to hold your subjects’ dreams and aspirations hostage in your tower
So, it's evil to yell at a potential protégé for immediately demanding nepotism during their job interview?

This is the best explanation I’ve seen as to why he’s not the good guy
Tumblr media
Asha is the hero because she wants people to have the chance to fulfill their wishes themselves. You might find her annoying but she’s still a better person than Magnifico for enforcing people’s right to choose and/or change their mind.
Why does the new princess feel like a villain?
Cause the king seems reasonable, where she, she just sounds like a brat
How is she a hero?

Disney’s Wish had its flaws, but it actually wasn’t terrible.

It blows my mind how many people think that the mere presence of poc is representation. Anon is so fucking dumb 😒
Encanto is going to be the last Disney movie we ever get that portrays a non-white culture beautifully, accurately, and unapologetically. It just goes to show what they’re capable of making in regards to REAL representation, and then they just… decided not to do it again. The least they could’ve done is cast North Africans and Iberians. We don’t exactly a shortage of Spanish actors out there anyway. But no matter.
Boycott Disney! Free Palestine!
And if your life depends on the watching the movie, at least just 🏴‍☠️ it instead of seeing it in theatres.
It doesn’t matter if some of the Wish creators are white. I still see a black girl on screen.
Black panther was originally created by 2 white guys and there was still representation on screen.
People kept asking for new original characters of colour, we finally get one and now you want it to flop?
The Black Panther movie was written by two black guys, and the production team drew heavy inspiration from Ta-Nehisi Coates and Christoper Priest's comic runs during the making of the movie.
Representation is more than just slapping a POC on screen, it's giving POC the opportunity to tell stories in an authentic way.
I'm Middle Eastern, and the fact that Disney and a bunch of other companies are perfectly fine with people who look like me getting killed by the IDF is fucking horrifying.
Mega corporations aren't your friends, they don't give a shit about you, all they care about is your money.
And look, if you wanna support these garbage companies, then go right ahead, it's your money, you do whatever you want with it.
But I'm gonna continue boycotting these companies and I will not shut up about what is currently happening in Palestine.

I absolutely agree that we need more black creators in media, especially at Disney, but your criticism that Disney doesn’t want to make new black characters just isn’t true. Ethan from Strange World and Asha from Wish are both black leads with black mothers, unless you don’t consider them black because they’re biracial? Because you would be contradicting yourself, seeing as you’ve even addressed in another post that being half white shouldn’t discredit someone’s cultural identity. Therefore Ethan and Asha are black.
But if I’m being honest, I don’t get why Wish is good enough for you, but Halle playing Ariel was racially manipulative..? You claim to want represention with real culture, but Wish is no more culturally-accurate than TLM 2023 was. It’s a botched attempt at portraying Iberian and North African culture, and people from both respective communities have addressed the inaccuracies. Even the concept art showed more promise than the final product. You can’t praise one Disney re-skin but then rave about another because let’s face it, nothing about Asha stands out whatsoever.
And aside from the fact that the characters were modeled after their voice actors, they don’t represent these people at all. Ariana DeBose and Natasha Rothwell don’t have any North African ancestry. Chris Pine, Angelique Cabral, and Victor Garber don’t have any Iberian ancestry.
The majority of the creatives credited for working on Wish are still white, so we couldn’t consider Wish a win for black people even if it was culturally accurate. If you really want better for the black families watching Disney, this movie shouldn’t cut it for you either.
Asha might not be a princess but she could still be a leader
As I said in a previous post it is 100% confirmed Asha will have no royal status whatsoever in this movie but will still be apart of the Disney princess line, do we have another Mulan situation here? I don’t think so.
So here’s my theory obviously she’s gonna defeat the villain that’s just how Disney movies work, But if she does that then why wouldn’t she take his place and be a princess? if she does good the people would probably want her to be their new ruler. (If they’re not completely politically brainwashed bc I can tell this movie will have political elements)
I love my Disney princesses but monarchy is shit in the real world and I can definitely see her accepting the role of a leader but not a princess or queen. Remember how vanellope changed herself into a president in wreck it Ralph? She could do that!
I want her to abolish/overthrow the monarchy!
I refuse to believe there aren’t racial elements to this movie the king paints this girl as a criminal for calling out how shit his system is and that would be perfect for our next black Disney “princess” to do
And we’ve had other “leader” characters in the Disney Princess line, both Moana and Pocahontas are daughters of the chief the odd one out has always been Mulan so my question is… is this a Mulan situation or a Moana one?
EDIT: last night in an interview Ariana DeBose described Asha as and I quote “an all new original character with beautiful brown skin and freckles”. That to me says this will not be a Mulan situation and while I did compare Moana too, from a cultural standpoint she’s a technically a “Princess” since she always knew she’d inherit her island and still has that kind of princess privilege that characters like Tiana and Cinderella didn’t have until the end of their films. I genuinely might be in my own head here but I can’t see this ending any other way and the little hints they drop don’t seem subtle to me as both an artist and story writer

Can I just ask what The Little Mermaid has to do with this because you mentioned it in the tags

Anon seems to be unaware that a racism can still be present even with a protagonist of color 🫣
It’s called reading between the lines dumbass. Why do people even send asks like this
I'm sorry but I can't see how Wish is racist? It has literally a POC main character
Kaixo anon!
That a film features a POC character isn't something that magically makes it impossible to be racist.
That said, I didn't say the movie is racist - how could I know if it isn't out yet? I said that its marketing campaign is racist if you think a bit about it, basically because the Disney people that made official statements on Wish are bigmouths.
Also I've noticed that many people here on Tumblr don't actually have a clear notion of what exactly there is in south Spain and Northern Africa, how their people and architecture look, and how rich and diverse this area is.
So since it's a quite unknown area for many, let's imagine that Disney chooses a tiny non-existant island near the USA to set its movie. They say it publicly: it's true, completely canon, it's located there!
But they don't feature a single landscape that might remind you of any state in the USA, the characters' costumes are very obviously not western, you can't recognize any kind of the architecture styles of the USA, no characters' name is one that you have heard in your hometown, none of the voice actors come from the USA, there are absolutely no clear references to the USA. Will you feel that fantasy island is set in the USA? Or maybe that Disney has publicly said that to make people believe they're including something that they aren't to be percieved in a certain way??
It's racist that they say my kingdom is located between southern Spain and Northern Africa to get bonus points for representation of not-so-well-known cultures in the US, but then proceed to erase all signs of any culture of the MANY from the region because seemingly none of them is good enough to be marketable or to keep a certain "fairytale aesthetic".

This basically falls into the whole “twist villain” narrative that nobody wants anymore so I’m glad they’re not doing it like this. It’s about time classic villains came back to Disney.
Disney’s new Wish movie looks like it’s gonna be very boring and predictable.
Could’ve at least been more interesting if they made it so the “villain” (guy collecting wishes) wasn’t actually a villain but just a guy in charge of making sure no evil or bad wishes became true. Then the REAL villain appears and is trying to release all the bad wishes. That’s where the heroine comes in to work alongside “villain” guy to stop the real one. Maybe the REAL villain even try’s to frame the wish guy as a evil person so now the whole town is after heroine and wish guy to stop them on false accusations.
