Me watching the new Netflix film Spellbound:

This is cute. What could possibly hurt me about this film?

“A young poc girl has to deal with the reality that her parents aren’t perfect and trying to pretend otherwise is only causing her more pain.”

Ah.

“Also her parents aren’t perfect and getting a divorce after realizing that they were harmful to each other. And the daughter just turned 15.” - Same age I was when my parents divorced

Spellbound is NOT a bad movie, y'all just mean 😒

I hate John Lasseter as much as the next person but he just helped produce the movie, he didn't MAKE it himself. Also, this is a creative movie with an original idea, unlike Toy Story which is a Raggedy Ann knock off. Quit calling Spellbound a knock off of Disney musicals, just because it's an animated musical! It's NOT a knock off and it's not bad either. It's a beautiful story about how broken families can cause trauma for children and I can't expect so much heart and beauty from Disney nowadays. Disney went downhill after Elemental...

The songs were pretty cute, the one song was a little stupid but the majority of the songs were good. It wasn't as amazing as The Wild Robot, but it was still pretty cute. Like, not everything has to be amazing to be good! It had a beautiful story with a lot of symbolism to family trauma and growing up, plus the designs were really creative as well. It took place in a fantasy world and the designs they did for the creatures were really cute and creative. I also love that they tried their best to show diversity, despite it being a fantasy world (like different skin colors and everything, and no characters are stereotyped). I also like how they showed different body types and none of the characters are sexualized in any way. Apparently Princess Ellian, the main character, was supposed to be 15, and I thought she was 11 or 12 at first. To be honest, I like that they made her look younger for her age, it makes me feel better about myself (I'm an early bloomer who stopped aging LOL). It's not unrealistic expectations like how Disney designs some of the princesses.

The story is great, the music is okay, and I think this movie deserves a little better. Also, I don't wanna completely hate on Rachel Zegler either. Yeah, she seems stuck up and even though I agree with some things she said about that old Snow white movie, I also think she went to far and was disrespectful. I don't think she's ugly or talentless like a lot of other people say about her, she just doesn't fit for the role of Snow White. Even if you're outraged over her disrespecting an outdated Disney movie from your childhood or whatever, she is talented and pretty. Don't be too mean! I'm not really a fan of Rachel Zegler, I'm just saying that she did very good in this movie!

Anyway, tell me what you think! If you disagree, please let me know! If you're gonna hate on it before watching Spellbound, watch it and then tell me what you think!

WHY DIDNT YALL TELL ME SPELLBOUND WAS GONNA MAKE ME CRY

[angstyboi-hmph]

Just watched Spellbound, while I don't think there needs to be a second movie, I think more movies in the same universe would be amazing

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

the CATCHIEST song of Spellbound is two ministers plotting a benevolent coup, with lyrics and visuals ironically hinting at the /actual/ way to fix things (GIVE THE QUEEN AND KING A DIVORCE)

Spellbound was sweet. Not exceptional but pretty solid. I wish they'd stop with the fucking autotune but still 4/5 y'all should watch it

I will watch anything and everything that Rachel Zegler stars in for the rest of her career because she is brilliant, beautiful, talented, and intelligent.  

Additionally, Rachel is an amazing role model who is always on the right side of history.

I am proud to support her by being a Zegtineo and I will happily watch everything she ever stars in for the rest of her career which will last her entire life just for her because she is talented, intelligent, selfless, empathetic, and beautiful in every way possible.  

The world needs more people like Rachel Zegler because it is people/heroes like her who make the world a better place for everyone.
