To be fair, Cinderella’s live action update was actually decently handled and stayed true to the spirit of the original.

But yeah, between this and the live action remakes for old Disney films, I’m getting irritated with this trashing of old values.

I’m not sure what to make of their actions to Star Wars. To be fair, even 40 years ago, it was hard-left propaganda by George Lucas’s own admission (basically, tricking audiences into rooting for the Vietcong).

You know, retroactively Lucas claiming it was politically left in concept wasn’t what the worldwide audiences got from the films. I certainly didn’t-and I voted for Nixon back then! It was a cynical time, but SW was the old-fashioned good guys beat the bad guys feeling the to which the world reacted. Looking at it now I still can’t see the leftist propaganda and if it had been received that way back in the 70’s I don’t believe it would have been the phenomenon it became- DESPITE, perhaps, Lucas’ intentions.
