Because once they make it Disney PC and have a black family living in the wilderness, everyone knows it’s bullshite. Once they put Cedric The Entertainer in the forest, shits going to get real, and it won’t be family friendly.

It would be a trans couple staring Jussie Smollet and Leslie Jones

They'd remake it into a cringe comedy replete with nonstop goofy jokes spoken by miscast popular celebs and it would be terrible.

There was a remake in the works with Steve Carell, but I believe it got canned

They did. Jane Seymour played the Mom.

That’s awesome. I’m trying to find it. Just having David Carradine is enough to let me know how bad it is.

self sufficient white people living without the help of society/government and espousing traditional values? not so hot right now

If you're able to score a $1 eBay copy or something, you'll have to give the board a review.

I remember watching it on the Wonderful World of Disney as a kid, but couldn't tell you anything more than that the plot roughly follows the original.

For the record, the thread on this board about Fritz vs Ernst is one of my favorites.

Swiss = mostly white
A reality even Hollywood has trouble erasing

Have you ever seen Song of the South? Disney will never release the masterpiece on any platform and that's a shame.

I'm glad I have a copy.

Well the title is "Swiss", to make it more accurate now they could just call it "Swiss Family Muhammad".

The fact that Swiss Family Robinson did not carve out a place for POC on their entire island is highly problematic.

It was from last year, not super involved or anything. I just loved how people kept coming back to shite on Ernst over and over again.

Besides the SJW crap nobody wants it and it isn't marketable. Go shopping in Disney and you really don't see much for the classics like sword in the stone, robin hood, even fantasize. It's there but not like the new stuff. They want to get the next generation hooked
