An actual good Cinderella remake with a black Cinderella was made in 1997. It was even produced by Disney, and starred Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother. Funny how this was never brought up when Disney's 2015 remake cast a white Cinderella.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella_(1997_film)


Cinderella was European, casting an African-American as Cinderella is racewashing.

@Hazarddex

Snow White was German White European, not Amerindian Columbian Polish.

only 4.31% of Columbia is Amerindian.

the majority of Columbian are Spaniards and Spain is from Europe same with Poland (which isn't to far from Germany and considering Poland's history wouldn't be surprise if her dad has some German ancestry.)

that's still not African American and is still European.

Well I wouldn't call this new movie snow white, but rather black ice.

you were literally also saying "black ice." when she's clearly not African American.

also getting ethnicity exact for acting is a dumb idea. unless you want people to literally try and find an Atlantean for whenever or if Disney does an Atlantis remake I suggest you not make yourself this big a fool. at this point I'm more concerned with the actress' lack of experience then any race war bs.

@hazarddex Do you seriously think that people will forget that she is a latina if you refer to the percentage of whites in her homeland? I live in a region where Muslims make up 30% of the population, does that make me a good choice for the role of Salladin?

When Disney is out of ideas, but remake is the only last card it has. I can't wait to see Disney goes bankrupt. It's one of my dreams. We burned a lot of Elmo toys. Time to burn Mickey and his shit folks.

Shit! I guess the only plan left is to crash-land a plane on Disney's main building.

When your father is polish and your mother Colombian I don't think it matters much all that matters is your acting experience. Scott Weinger and Robin Williams would like to know your location.

AND? What does it change? She is a person of color, while the original character is canonically so pale that she was even named after the snow. And this is in an era when even black actors are accused of not being black enough to play black characters.

Disney really seems to be suffering creativity crisis, the never ending milking of Star Wars and Marvel content will come to an end one day. Lets not even talk about the embarrasing remakes of famous animated films.

Then theres their rely on Pixar to make quality animated films that seems to be working till top pixar animators decide to leave one day.

The company itself became a soulless brand that never had a chance to beat their competitors so they bought them instead and now we see the results of this.

so a literal girl named snow white. is not even white?

To be honest, I don't understand why diversity should move through the gradual transformation of European enjoyment into quasi-American or Asian. If you talk so much about representing non-white audiences and the importance of their culture, why don't you let their culture be heard? I think it would be much more interesting than another recoloring of white characters.

Or are you suggesting that African culture is not so interesting and developed for Western audiences that black audiences are still represented solely through the blackwashing of white works?

Not sure where you people are getting this idea that the actress is a African woman when she Colombian-American. Colombia's population literally being 87.58% White or Mestizo. Also her father is literally polish. You would think you would check before making yourself look foolish
