General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

[Loochblade]

I only saw weirdly positive opinions

 

[Barry Poppins]

Why

It blatantly referenced, mocked, and degraded the death of one of Disney's original actors.

 

[Loochblade]

Really...

 

[Loochblade]

Damn

Spoiler: Movie Spoiler

The villain of the movie is an adult Peter Pan, who, in the movie, was fired for hitting puberty. The original actor for Peter Pan, Bobby Driscoll, was fired before the movie premiered because of hitting puberty, and was basically blackballed from Hollywood afterwards, dying alone and unidentified for nearly two years.

 

[Loochblade]

Heck

 

[Barry Poppins]

Yeah

 

[Barry Poppins]

At best, entirely insensitive, at worst, fucking heinous.

 

[Spitfire]

are we talking about Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers?

 

[Loochblade]

Most don't know about it too

 

[Loochblade]

afaik

 

[Barry Poppins]

Most don't know about it too

A lot of people don't, and it's blowing by a lot of people.

 

[Barry Poppins]

are we talking about Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers?

Yes.

The real villian is always disney inn the end

The non-spoiler telling is that Disney mocked Bobby Driscoll's firing and suicide in a thinly veiled way in the movie.
