Thank you for your response.

Yes, you're right--Disney is a business. Like today, it was a business in 1937 when Disney released his first full-length feature "Snow White"; it was a business in 1953 when Disney released "Peter Pan"; it was a business in 1967 with the release of "The Jungle Book"; and so it was also in 1981 with "The Fox and the Hound", in 1989 with "The Littler Mermaid", and in 1991 with "Beauty and the Beast." The one thing that Disney is NOT today as compared to its era throughout the 20th century and early 21st century is being innovative and daring in the projects the studio pursues. As with any business, it's always been about money inasmuch as that money is dedicated to the next production. A lot of these live-action remakes are remakes of movies that I consider timeless depending on the era. But it's also because I feel like now it's all about the money and one of the things that Disney is banking on is this particular trend in diversity, where it has been hijacked by woke ideology. They are offering film and live-action experiences, but most of it is predominantly anything but new. You are right, to a degree--about people complaining because Ariel is black, but it's not what you're thinking of in regards to it being just downright racism. Rather, it seems to be, that Disney decided to do this remake so that Ariel is black so that one, again, it tags along with the current trend of diversity. In other words, one principle reason Disney remade this is so that Ariel can be black, as opposed to white. This is attached to another perspective, in that Disney, like an opportunistic business, is going along with this woke stuff because they know there's a market out there for it. So, it seems like Disney is going along with kinda deal, this woke stuff, in order to, one, appeal to people, and two, to make money, which is what an entertainment industry should do, but why can it not do it with new ideas? Of all that money that has gone towards remakes of Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and so on, how much of it could've been dedicated to something new and innovative? And that is why I am so saddened by what Disney has become. It has sold its original creative soul.
