#this website's discussion of art often hinges on a false binary of ''art with value'' and ''art without value''

[calypsolemon]

Probably one of the worst effects of the disney live action remake trend is that it's got people talking about the original movies as if they are golden standards of animated cinema, when often they are rife with their own issues, both within the works themselves and outside them. Like many of these movies still function as mechanisms through which disney monopolized the animation industry, monetized poor rip offs of better and yet lesser-known pre-existing media, crafted conservative slop to forcefeed directly into the mouths of children, turned minority groups into marketable caricatures, etc etc. It's just that the remakes are so devoid of even the slightest hint of artistic integrity that the overall bar for what counts as a "good movie" is buried six feet underground.
