Speaking of Pocahontas though, walking around Disney this week, I have seen exactly zero mention or even merchandise for her. Thought that was a bit peculiar. Same thing with Mulan, but that will change next Spring.


I think she has a meet and greet spot at Animal Kingdom.

Definitely a fairy

It wasn't that long ago that casting a gay man as a literal fairy would've been seen as an affront to the gay community.

For older people, it's difficult to gauge what's acceptable these days.

That’s because she has been busy on the campaign trail

Are you guys bitching about a casting choice for....Cinderella?? CINDERELLA?

Ffs.

My goodness, why would anyone give two shits who plays a damn fairy in another Disney cash grab? If anything it seems somewhat appropriate.

I hope y'all are losing sleep over it, that would be fan-fricking-tastic!

And at this point, I think we can finally admit that the Chinese are pumping most of the woke shite we see.

Gee, I wonder why they would do that. It makes us so much stronger and better.

Seriously. We might as well complain about the goings on at Rue Paul's Drag Race or a reality show on a Spanish language channel.

The guy literally stole the spotlight at this year's Tony Awards (from his seat in the fricking audience). It was pretty obvious that his stock in that community was on a steep rise. It's not shocking that he's getting featured in a production aimed straight at the musical theater crowd.

Disney never owned the Cinderella character.
They own the Disney version of Cinderella only.

We've had tons of non-Disney Cinderella productions over the past fifty years.

Dude, why do you keep bringing the Chinese up in these threads? Did the Chinese cast The Rock as the traditionally female tooth fairy role ten years ago? The Chinese market is the one Hollywood is constantly trying to court, and they censor out deviant Western behavior. What's your logic?

I honestly do not get Corden’s appeal.

His contribution to the genre is having celebrities sing songs in a car....
