The bigots who got riled up by fox bews wouldn’t go to see it anyway. Maybe if they turn the evil witch jewish and snow white was the good nazi child.
Bigots definitely didn’t help, but I know far more people who didn’t go simply because “why would I want to see that?” Vs bigots

Outside of Maleficent, all of them have been shot for shot remakes (with one additional scene/song to make it “different”). And animation is just a better medium for magic and whimsy compared to what you can do in live action.

Couldn’t agree more. If I wanted to watch someone pretend to have magical powers and interact with nonexistent set pieces, I’d assemble my game group. There’s so much that you can do with animation that just cannot be done live action. I miss when animated movies had distinct styles that contributed to the atmosphere the fiction was building. Live action is comparatively empty of expression.

I’m probably preaching to the choir, but Arcane, Scavengers Reign, and Nimona all check those boxes, and are all well worth watching.

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve already seen arcane, and apparently scavenger’s rain is already on my list, though I don’t remember adding it. Just added nimona though. Arcane definitely fits the bill, so I imagine the others will as well. It really is a great example of how the medium affects the message.
