People did this during Mulan and it was all white people trying to find a black person in ancient china. And they only did it because they had some mental quota they had to meet in order to enjoy something because another white person might think they're racist.


All I took away from it was the following:

Mushu does not count as a black person


and neither does Simba

Yeah, those two are pretty enough, but not a great resemblance to their movie counterparts. Especially the Anna. The ones at Disneyland are pretty bomb, but I hate to think how many skeezy dads hit on them day after day

Disney spent over a billion re-making California Adventure and now it's a great park.

They replaced the super pagan Maelstrom ride in the Norway section of Epcot with some frozen ride. It was my favorite ride as a kid. It's not a huge deal but I really wanted to take another picture in front of that troll and looks like I'll never get to do it again :(

I went on it shortly before they closed it down to work on it, and it was funny how much frozen stuff they had slapped all over the Norway exhibit.

It's one of those things where the people who really want it won't be happy with it no matter how Disney handles it, and the people who'd appreciate it aren't going to care if it doesn't happen.

They've already had a Muslim princess though and her name was Jasmine. EFB

Princess Jasmine is already muslim. Aladdin took place in a muslim country when Islam was already established.

That one song in Aladdin pissed off some Muslims and I've heard people claim the characters, particularly the good guys, got whitewashed in the film which is complete bunk (although that poo poo does happen within the promotional material sometimes). I don't think Aladdin would fly today. I think everyone is way touchier about Islam now (which is a total understatement).

I haven't been in years but I heard from friends they did that. Last time I went was right after they turned the living seas exhibit into a loving Finding Nemo pavilion. Although the seagulls outside kinda make up for the destruction of the edutainment factor of the place.

It didn't piss them off so much so as Disney changed the words last minute because Arabian Nights had the line "slit your throat" originally.


Which isn't really offensive but more of a fact of life, especially since ISIS is around in this day and age.

So long as they still sell alcohol I'll be fine with it. It's expensive but drinking around the world is awesome. Although one of my friends thought you had to get every beer at every country and we didn't have the heart to stop him. I give the guy a lot of credit though, he made it halfway before he puked.

Walt's vision for EPCOT was never realized in the first place and EPCOT is boring and dull.

Yeah but it's a movie that's not really on an epic scale. There's really no big trek to be undertaken and it has a much smaller cast of characters compared to frozen. It also had less rigs and less environments than frozen too.

That's weird, because I felt Frozen was really on a very small scale, all things considered. You basically have four principle characters, three important supporting characters, and every single scene goes FAST. There's no faffing about, there's no character-developing filler, every single scene is quite succinct and pushes the plot forward, even the wacky chase scenes largely. It's a movie that feels like they didn't go over the script more than once or twice and while I won't argue against brevity, it would have been nice to have a little more of a slow burn in some parts, especially towards the beginning and in the middle.

Like what exactly is Elsa doing in that loving ice castle all this time, is she even causing the blizzard or is the blizzard just coincidental
why would the people of the town not immediately want to see Elsa put to death for nearly killing them all
how is the movie's ending not an immediate prelude to a bloody war against that island nation
