Well allow me to be an even bigger buzzkill: this is probably a fake poster because it doesn’t have the block of producer credits at the bottom

Honestly, given Disney’s recent history of destroying existing IP’s, that revelation is a good thing. Thank you.

Even though I’m tired of live action remakes, I make exceptions for the sizey things hehe

I think the world is ready for a gender-swapped remake of Gulliver’s Travels.

An R-rated, gender-swapped remake of Gulliver’s Travels. And an R-rated Dr Cyclops, Attack of the Puppet People and The Devil Doll for that matter.

@littlest-lily gotta make an exception for the sizey things! I’m sad I won’t be able to see a live action Zak and Crysta… hopefully in the future

@SallyFourth as long as the casting is decent… I have no complaints but to each their own

Sure, good casting, a good character driven story that is faithful to the original source material would be great. But, this is 2023 and this will be remembered as a uniquely terrible time in the history of entertainment.

But Sally, you wildly intoxicated yet strikingly sophisticated raconteur, “Why is that?” I hear you say. Well, my children, allow me to elucidate. “FernGully” is about saving the environment from deforestation, pollution and habitat destruction which is fueled by human greed. It’s also a story with a strong, female protagonist (Yes! Really! Years before Brie Larson and Jennifer Lawrence). This is actually a good thing.

Now, fast-forward to 2023… what are the clods that pass for screenwriters today going to do? First they will get out their checklist, that’s their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) checklist. Following this list they will come up with a prioritized list themes that the movie needs to push, “In order to reflect the world we live in today”.

The inevitable result will be a movie that attacks the patriarchal establishment as the root of all evil. The only characters who can save the world will be the strong females, who are better and smarter than all of the men in every way. The environmental message will be vastly diminished and if Zack is even in the movie, he will be weak, stupid and easily manipulated.

Just like they have done with Rings of Power, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Willow, and all of Marvel. This is not a good time for entertainment.

@SallyFourth not a good time for entertainment … ma’am now is not a good time in general.
I can’t afford to allow myself to get worked up over these new “woke” films or whatever terminology you’d like to use. The media is aware of what it produces and puts out there, if a film or show made you mad… that was their intention. They would like us to be as divided and as pissed off as possible.
They aren’t trying create a more peaceful world where everyone gets along, are validated and feel included with these movies and shows.

In case anyone forgot… MILLIONS of children are missing and it’s OUR entertainment industry, OUR actors and actresses that are involved. It truly floors me the stuff people bitch about when it comes to Hollywood, the media and what gets put out there because the people creating it are the sickest people on the planet and to make it worse we idolize them
If there was true justice and true peace on earth then there wouldn’t be a Hollywood or half the entertainment that we have been accustomed to and not in recent years but for a while now

Eyes wide shut, I tell ya

@SallyFourth FWIW, Disney doesn’t seem to own the rights to Ferngully (although I suspect the reported owners (an outfit called Machine Media Advisors) would sell if Disney wanted to buy it).

Tiny Zendaya interacting with giants… a dream I wish would really come true… I already imagined her held in the palm of lukas gage’s hand, or sitting on his shoulder. I don’t care that if it were true, it would have been yet another live-action adaptation. Zendaya as a fairy would have been perfect for me.

@SmolChlo is… is this real

@ilikehell unfortunately… no I was bamboozled
