Ironically, I read a review from the woke community complaining that the non-binary and gay characters’ parts were too hidden and minimized. *eye roll*

The entire West has been taken over by depraved, perverted, sexual ideologues. This will not end well for anyone.

Rotten Tomatoes score

75% critics, 92% audience, thus proving their reviews are worthless.

The audience is self-selecting tranny supporters.

Not a random sample.

Everyone else stayed away.

Be like asking dudes at Garth Brooks’ gay bar if they like Bud Lite.

Using the word “non-binary” is heterophobic.

You wonder when the Shareholders are going to get sick of these mega expensive woke bombs at the box office. Disney has had a string of ‘em.

Disney has lost trust. Once that trust is gone, it will be hard to gain back. The longer this goes on, the lesson learned is reinforced that we can live life just fine without Disney.

The binary characters were literally Elemental...

Fire and Water fell in love.

The premise is so silly, being binary is almost an after thought.

“criticized by some fans for being “woke.””

Fans of what? Obviously not fans of this movie. Nor is the movie a part of a franchise or ongoing series the I know of. Fans of Disney/Pixar? They should know what they are getting after the last few years.

This is just lazy, poor writing.
