Disney Shows: Celebrating Black Hair

by spaceotter42

The latest episode of Sydney to the Max reminded me of an episode of Andi Mack.  Both Sydney and Buffy faced pressure about straightening their hair or letting it grow natural.  Resisting racism and a desire to fit in played a part in their decisions.

In the episode of Andi Mack ("It's Not About You," S1, Ep5), Buffy was ordered by the Vice Principal to straighten her naturally curly hair after a student, who sat behind her in class, complained he failed a test because he couldn't see over her hair.  

Buffy went through an ordeal straightening her hair, burning her hair, and eventually called on Andi's mom, hairstylist Bex, for help.  Buffy decided to defy the Vice Principal's orders and return to her curly hairstyle, but then the complaining student confessed he was lying.  He didn't even sit behind Buffy, and he invented this as an excuse for failing the test.

Sydney had a dual storyline set in the past and present, in the latest episode airing April 30 ("The Hair Switch Project," S3, Ep9).  In 1993, Sydney's mom Alisha, then a teenager, faced pressure from her mother to chemically (and painfully) straighten her hair for a school picture. 

Her mother Maya, a beginning attorney, explained Alisha would be more acceptable to white people in getting job opportunities, if she had straight hair.  Before she was to undergo the flattening process at a hair salon, Alisha resisted and Maya relented, and let Alisha keep her natural look.

In the the present day, Sydney has always flattened her own hair.  But a Black classmate asks her why she does it, so she starts thinking about a change.  Consulting her grandmother Maya (who is now a judge with natural hair and a changed attitude), she decides to go for a different style.  At the same salon her mother went to, Sydney receives a beautiful natural look

Both Buffy and Sydney had a similar challenge with their hairstyle decisions: in both cases, their mothers are absent.  Sydney's mother has passed away and Buffy's is overseas, serving in the military.  So they both had to seek advice from others.

Both shows effectively presented the difficult decisions these teens had to make, faced with pressure from peers, parents, and society.

The Sydney episode was followed by a discussion by young Black Disney actresses on the topic.  The Andi Mack episode first aired four years and two days before the Sydney episode, on April 28, 2017.

CHILD’S PLAY (2019)

Starring Aubrey Plaza, Gabriel Bateman, Brian Tyree Henry, David Lewis, Beatrice Kitsos, Ty Consiglio, Carlease Burke, Trent Redekop, Marlon Kazadi, Nicole Anthony, Kristin York, Amber Taylor, Mia Bella, Ben Andrusco-Daon, Zahra Anderson, Olivia Poon, Hannah Drew, Amro Majzoub, Johnson Phan, Eddie Flake, Tim Matheson and the voice of Mark Hamill.

Screenplay by Tyler Burton Smith.

Directed by Lars Klevberg.

Distributed by Orion Pictures. 90 minutes. Rated R.

There has always been something a little off about the Child’s Play series. The idea of a killer doll is a pretty long-standing horror trope, therefore the concept of the spirit of a serial killer taking over a doll and wreaking havoc in the night can potentially be a winner. Of course, the reality of the film series is that while some people will find a killer doll horrifying, the specific doll they used – a small ginger kewpie doll with fat cheeks and chubby little hands brandishing little knives and making wisecracks as he mows people down – looks a little ridiculous.

There is a reason that the last several Chucky films concentrated on post-modern humor and the corny aspects of the situation rather than the horror.

Therefore, when rebooting the series – which was sadly inevitable – they had to decide if they wanted to play it as a straight horror or continue to highlight the humorous qualities of a cute, tiny little plastic mad slasher. Inexplicably, they decided to play it rather straight. Sure, there were some funny parts – it would be impossible to do a movie with this storyline without some laughs – but they were working harder at coming up with “imaginative” graphically violent and gory deaths than they were at looking at the absurdities of the situation.

That was a bad choice.

The new Child’s Play was pretty much shunned when it briefly played in theaters a few months ago – by both casual horror fans and more specifically fans of the original franchise, who were vocally unhappy about some of the changes made from the original. (More about that soon.) So now that it is getting a video and on-demand release will Child’s Play catch some fan love? After all the original films were also mostly theatrical failures which caught on with a cult audience on video and cable.

I rather doubt it. I’m no huge fan of the original series, but at least those were mostly better than this.

First of all, it was a huge mistake to change Chucky into a CGI effect. The original doll models were kind of ridiculous looking, but the new Chucky looks almost comically unrealistic. From the face, to the body, to the expressions, to the moves, there is nothing the tiniest bit scary about the new Chucky. And, yes, that was the consensus amongst the fans of the original.

The fans also chafed at the odd massive change of Chucky’s back story. Instead of being a normal child’s toy which is possessed by the spirit of a killer, the new Chucky is an AI robot-toy which has been sabotaged (for some odd rather inexplicable reason) by a disgruntled sweatshop worker. All of the toy’s failsafe protections are turned off, so this one doll leans to curse, learns to lie, and eventually learns to kill.

Okay, so they made some bad choices. Did they make any good choices? Well, yes.

The top amongst those is using former Luke Skywalker-turned-ubiquitous voiceover actor Mark Hamill as the voice of Chucky. Not that Academy Award nominated (for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) actor Brad Dourif didn’t do a good job in the original films, but Hamill’s voice work is one of the few places that the new film keeps up with the originals.

There was also some smart casting with the likes of Aubrey Plaza as the harried mom who brings the defective Chucky doll home, and Brian Tyree Henry as the smart-but-goofy cop whose mom lives down the hall. However, it was a shame to hire such good actors and give them so little to do.

And the cheesy “You’re my buddy” song that Chucky sings is a damn earworm. I couldn’t get it out of my mind for hours after seeing the movie. It was sort of like the Barney theme or the 1-877-Kars4Kids jingle – you don’t exactly enjoy it, but once you hear it you can never forget it.

New Model (Child’s Play, 2019)

The Child’s Play franchise is seven films in and has a TV series in the making, so when a remake of the 1988 original, it was met with…skepticism. Especially as the film has no real ties to the original film via writer or director.

Here we get the basic story idea.  Andy gets a doll that turns out to be dangerous and homicidal.

Here, Andy is a bit older.  His mother gets a Buddi Doll that has AI…
