And I don't mindless stan Dreamworks, I'm well aware of its faults. So stop accusing me of things and I'll return the favour.

We can go by the amount of movies, which is what you were using against Dreamworks in comparison to Pixar. Disney has made more movies than Dreamworks, so yeah, they have more PoC. But this logic is faulty, since a lot of early Disney films were made in a time were a PoC lead would have been unlikely.

DW has had Prince of Egypt (no white person in sight), Joseph, Sinbad, Spirit and the Road to el Dorado. And if they don't change the source material, The True Meaning of Smekday will have a poc female lead. Pixar has the two characters that I mentioned. I was arguing against your "Pixar is better than Dreamworks in representation" No, they really aren't.

The first three things that come to mind when I think Dreamworks are Spirit, El Dorado, and (though non-animated) Paulie. Interesting contrast to the point above that with Disney it's the more diverse ones that get shunted to the side.

That's an interesting thought. I think one of the main reasons Disney movies with PoC are ignored is because they weren't the successes Disney was expecting them to be.

Sorry for posting to this old post, going through my f!w backlog now, but omg, Dreamworks is going to make a Smekday movie? I had no idea. Man, I LOVED that book! Though I listened to the audiobook and the narrator (Bahni Turpin) was just. Amazing. As J.Lo, and I can only hope whoever voices him in the movie will do nearly as good a job.


(Again, sorry for posting to a dead thread, but again, LOVE for that book but no one to talk about it with.)

I don' mind! Yes, Dreamworks is doing the adaptation of the book. The voices have already been cast, I think Rihanna is doing the girl's voice, we'll see how that goes.
