It sounds neat, but I'm not really sure I'm confident in Hollywood's ability to handle casting well on something like this.

That + Aladdin.

Like Disney says they'll do right by them, but I hope public pressure doesn't let up until the thing is filmed and released.

Are they planning on making all the 'classics' live action? Idk how i feel about that. I think there are def some that it will work for and others not so much.

I think that's the latest one announced (outside of Maleficent 2 I guess) but I swear they said something about live action Chip and Dale like a year and a half go? Maybe i'm hallucinating.

I think it's lazy, especially with stuff like BATB when they know they can't improve so it's shot for shot the original.

Honestly, I don't think Disney would whitewash lead characters like that. I genuinely think they would be very sensitive in casting people of the correct ethnicity.

I'm not saying I have faith in Disney's ethics as a company, or anything. I just am not anticipating this being a problem in this case.

I'd like to believe that, but I don't have any particular evidence that they'd be sensitive about the issue. They didn't, IMO, handle Pocahontas well.

Pocahontas was more than 20 years ago... not a very good piece of evidence.

It's evidence that there's at least one poorly handled situation of racial/ethnic sensitivity in their track record. If there have been more recent examples where Disney has done a top notch job, then I'm open to hearing about them. But even a twenty year incident is enough to make me cautious. You don't have to feel the same way, though.

Moana.

Voice actors were predominantly Maori or Polynesian and they had a panel of 'this is my life' experts whose advice they were listening to.

Well Disney usually has the voice actor of the character be the same ethnicity as them, so I doubt we'll have another Last Airbender fiasco.
