Disney is doing the same thing to Madeline L’Engle’s classic A Wrinkle In Time (one of my all time favorite YA novels). It’s an “adaptation” (which means to me that they’re going to change everything L’Engle wrote it for, particularly her marvelous send-up of the leftist mentality). Black director, mostly black cast, the Murry’s are “mixed race” and red-haired Calvin will be played by a black....
Basically, what this is saying, and what the new “Magnificent” is saying, is that the originals got it wrong, they were all about evil white racism.... How many other classics have been racially mangled for the sake of PC? Annie? The Whiz? What others?
Well, already the Magnificent “remake” is getting bad review... I hope it and Wrinkle bomb spectacularly. I don’t have anything against black actors, movies, novels, etc. Just write your own... stop trying to “improve” what is already excellent because it’s not black enough for you.
Believe me, there isn’t a black person alive who is excited to go see A Wrinkle in time”. I hope the makers of the new movie have less guilt and feel good about themselves because they aren’t going to make any money
