tv & movie producers when you tell them to make a movie about fantasy racism that doesn't argue that racism is actually an entirely valid response to the very real evil thing that the fantasy Black/Indigenous people actually did do to the fantasy White people

Realizing that Disney has been putting out content for me as far as Black girls being dope and adored - Secrets of Sulphur Springs, Z.O.M.B.I.E.S., Prom Pact, and National Treasure: Edge of History gave me things I wanted and not too much things I did not, even when she's in a smaller role like Bree or Latoya Reynolds, that she's clearly got good qualities and gets to have love interests like everybody else, or be a main who gets things done and not in a Black Women Save Us way, but just capable and bold while also being kind like Harper and Tasha.
Tumblr media
I'm just thinking about how I do have a few nice things to go back to if I get tired of the typical shady ways Black girls are written a lot of the time. I usually fall back onto Craig of the Creek, and still will, but I do appreciate having some live action wholesomeness.

Racism Alagory in Kids Films
Has anyone noticed a pattern when it comes to films aimed at kids with a racism alagory? They always have one of these three things.
1. The oppressors have a good reason to fear the oppressed.
Zootopia, Elemental, and Z.O.M.B.I.E.S have done this. I love these films, but that doesn't mean I can't point out this fact.
In Elemental, the other elements have a good reason to fear fire. They can accidentally burn things and / or kill other elements. Ember proves this over and over again throughout the film. She even kills Wayde at the end of the film on accident. The movie is a cute love story, I love it, but the racism alagory just didn't work out well.
Z.O.M.B.I.Es, Zombies eat human brains. That's a good reason to fear them and keep them separated from humans. Instead of trying to let zombies into human society, why not find a cure first?
In Zootopia, the prey has a good reason to fear predators. They have a history of killing them and being naturally savage. Which isn't the best way to explain racism to children. Because if you humanize the characters, the racism alagory suddenly doesn't work. You can't call non white people naturally violent because that's not true. But many people have used that as an excuse to keep themselves away from non whites.
In summery, racism never happened because the oppressed were a danger to the opressers.
2. White savior.
When one of the opressers is the one that saves the day. The best example is Z.O.M.B.I.Es. Adi is a human, the ones who are the opressers. Yet, she's the one that saves the opressed in all 3 films. And this is shown the most in the 2nd film. Where it's her destiny to save the werewolves and bring them back onto their land. The same land the humans stole from the werewolves.
I like Z.O.M.B.I.Es as a guilty pleasure, by the way. Maybe it's the music, I don't know.
3. The oppressed are a different species than the opressers.
My best example for this is Cats Don't Dance. But that's all I'll say about it. Because I absolutely love Cats Don't Dance. It has no white savior and the animals aren't a threat to the humans.
For those that haven't seen the film, it's a great musical that talks about how animals are treated in Hollywood. They are never given the chance to shine, they are never in the spot light, and humans only use them as extras and to make money. Same way people of color were treated in Hollywood years ago. Still treated like that in today's time.
I use to considered Cats Don't Dance as the best racism alagory kids film. Until a certain movie came out in 2020. A movie that I feel handled racism better than any other film aimed at kids. A film that avoids all three things I listed and gets the point across clearly for children and adults to understand.
Tumblr media
I am not joking. This film is by far the best kids film with a racism alagory. I would say why right now, but this post is getting too long. I'll explain in another post; Because let me just say, I can write a college essay as to why this film is the best kids film with a racism alagory.

being a british z-o-m-b-i-e-s fan is funny bcz like, we pronounce the single letter “Z” as zed not zee, so Zed’s name is just pronounced the same way you would pronounce the letter Z, and so for everything in the show where they take a word and add Z to the beginning of it (like the Zband) it’d be the ZedBand, Zed truly is so exceptional they named every single zombie thing after him, as they should tbh

There is no way Z.O.M.B.I.E.S 3 being released during non binary awareness week was a coincidence.

when there was a theory that zombies 3 would have aliens after zombies 2 i thought that her parents were aliens who had escaped to earth and so tried extra hard to fit in and make addison fit in. close enough.

If I had a nickel for every time I seriously considered re-writing a Disney channel original movie that absolutely butchered a somewhat interesting concept, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Just wanted to remind everyone that I am still working on my Trolls 2 Rascim Alagory essay. At this point, I think I'm gonna make a video because there is too much to just write. So I gotta freshen up on my drawing skills. But here is a list of films I'm gonna talk about that also handle rascim for kids. In the order of how well they handled the topic. Worst to best.
5. Z.O.M.B.I.Es by Disney. They are Zombies who killed humans. Then, one zombie disguises himself to look human, and the werewolves rely on Addi, a human, to give them back their land that the humans took. When the monsters, who have killed humans and go crazy, are supposed to represent the none whites, yeah. I don't like the thought of being represented as a monster who relys on humans to give them back what they took in the first place. The film is a guilty pleasure film of mine, though.
4. Zootopia by Disney. None whites are supposed to be predators who were savage and killed prey. Prey is supposed to be the suppressors. Again, I don't like the idea of me being seen as naturally savage and my people killing the suppressors because it's in our instincts. Also, the predators were the suppressors in some moments, which makes it confusing as to who are the suppressed and who are the suppressors. But I still adore this film to bits and it's one of my favorite films. Just not the best rascim alagory.
3. Elemental by Pixar. This is one of the best rascim alagory films for kids I've seen. Did everything perfect and beautiful! Love how they managed to make a story about interracial couples in a grand and accurate way. *Chefs kiss* BUT! I have an issue with the other elements having a good reason to fear fire. Fire just naturally kills other elements on accident. The tree that didn't get near Emebers parents? He had dry leaves and didn't want to die. Good reason. Sure, you can say that's the whole "we touched" moments are supposed to represent. That fire can be around other elements without being a danger. And fire being a danger was just a false stereotype. It could work if Emeber hadn't accidentally killed her boyfriend. Giving a good reason for other elements to fear fire. But that's just a nip pick, really. What REALLY bugs me, the term "fireball". Gale calls Emeber a fire ball to which Emeber takes a massive offense to. So I'm gonna assume she called her a slur. And then they never revisit that moment. Instead, they laugh it off. Gale said that she could get worked up during a good game, to which Ember agrees. I would not let that slide. If someone who's none Latino called me a slur simply because they were in the moment of a good game, I would be fuming mad. And then Gale calls her fireball again like a nickname. That's my only issue, though. Elemental is absolutely beautiful and a MUST SEE!!!
2. Cats Don't Dance by Warner Brothers. Beautiful, perfect, gorgeous, good music, stunning, loved it. Showed how hard none whites had it in Hollywood. Just no words. Watch this film. It's underrated as hell. My only nip pick, none whites are represented as animals, but it's literally JUST a tiny nip pick that you can't even see it. And I fully understand why they chose animals. It's for kids and kids love animals. You can easily humanize these characters, and nothing will change.
1. Of course! Trolls 2 by Dreamworks. Best racism alagory I've seen for children. Absolutely beautiful message, gorgeous animation, give whoever was in charge of casting a massive raise and a kiss and a hug and my soul to them. They did a fantastic job. As did everyone else involved in the film. Talked about colonizing, erasing history for their own benefits, differences do matter, so don't be color blind, and cultural differences and appropriation. Respecting and listening to others' opinions. Especially if it involves their culture. The only complaint is that the film is too short and should've been given more time. Also, a big one. They didn't make none whites a different species as the suppressors. They are Trolls no matter what with different cultures.
But yeah, back to writing that *checks* f$@%#!!!! 20 thousand word essay!!! Gotta delete some stuff, dam it.
