QUEEN SH*T
Someone pointed out that a lot of recent films that previously focused on the importance of found family (Lilo and stitch is the most recent, but they also mentioned Frozen, Wreck It Ralph, and Toy Story, plus HTTYD in the tags) have had that messaging undone by their sequels and remakes. And if I were more conspiracy brained, I would point out how found family narratives are very important to queer people, who’re often rejected or mistreated by their biological families, because it reminds them that there is a place for them in the world. That even if some or all of their blood relatives won’t have them, someone out there will gladly welcome them into their family of choice. It’s been foundational to the queer experience for centuries and so much media that’s beloved by queer people (whether openly queer or merely coded) focuses on it. And how in a social and political time when backlash against queer people is reaching a fever pitch, the emphasis on “actually no, these people who were shunned, mistreated, and isolated for being different and came together to be happy anyway should split up without even a thought to the people who have loved and welcomed them and made them feel safe and accepted for the first time. They should all have normal dreams and want to live respectable, individualist lives and have socially acceptable careers and get married and have children, and the ones who want them all to stay together are explicitly shown to be wrong and holding the others back.” is actually kind of nefarious, especially with Disney’s current very, very, very bad erasure of queer themes and characters along with the revelation of their support of Florida’s don’t say gay bill. Given all that, this would all seem very concerning to me. Good thing I’m not conspiracy brained tho.
2002 Lilo & Stitch: Ohana means family!
2025 Lilo & Stitch: Ohana means leave an indigenous child who is neurodivergent to the state, even though historically that always led to erasure of culture and forced family separation. abuse, death or worse – 'somehow lost'! But make it girlboss so there's a noble reason behind it! While we are at it, let's have our main character walk around a resort and enjoy its services so that we can promote our Hawaiian resort even though the original theme of the movie is anti-tourism and Lilo takes pictures of the tourists as a form of retaliation for them using her, her land and her culture as a prop!
I can't believe they unfounded Found Family the movie.
Look, Jimmy Kimmel's firing is undeniably horrible becos of what it means for the state of free speech and accountability in the US and it's good to see people, esp Disney fans, boycotting Disney products in protest.
But where was the same energy when Disney donated $2 million to support Palestinian genocide and pro-Palestine activists were calling for boycotting Disney back in 2023? Disney supported the deaths and destructions of Palestinians and it wasnt enough for these people, but Jimmy Kimmel getting fired is where they draw the line? White pple really don't care about problems affecting Black and Brown lives until it starts to affect them.
