Maybe this would make sense if Disney didn’t already have a film that highlights and celebrates actual African American culture. Is this not in some twisted way white washing? By just switching races of a popular princess... This Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauvais 0 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I love the idea of an African American or Caribbean mermaid but I already know Disney won't do it justice because they'll never accurately depict colonialism in a film. Beyonce's interpretation of the Igbo Landing and the myth of the Igbo people 'walking back to Africa' screams mermaid epic. 3 minutes ago, JoeMo said: Gaga should be Vanessa A dream.

PaulR2345 1,106 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Honestly now I’m interested who’s gonna be casted for what role. Will they make most of the characters African/black, Will there be an actual racially diverse cast, or will she just stand out as the only non-white girl? I read they might do the story but in the Caribbean, which I think would be interesting, and there’s a lot of diversity to play with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gunning for an Oceanic/Pacific Islander interpretation of The Little Mermaid (minus the easy shoe-in of colonial themes), but that is a great way to put it.

The Child 18,997 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The amount of racists in here. Gaga would be ashamed of you guys.

bloody g 31,735 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The role doesn't demand any racial background so it really shouldn't matter if the character is white, black, asian or others Why is this even a discussion I'm so confused 『𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝』 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
