Re: Wish
I'm glad at least the producer is hispanic, I thought not a single person in this movie was hispanic (not even Ariana Debose is, her biological father is half hispanic but she has never met him, so she isn't even if she wants to get diversity points in castings)
I don't hate her, I just think she has an identity crisis since she was raised by her white mother alone, but it's stupid to call yourself hispanic when you don't know anything or do any cultural practice or food
Edit: It's like Rachel Zegler, raised by her two parents but her mother who has colombian ancestry (we don't know if full or just half as most people on twitter say) never raised in anything cultural about Colombia or hispanic in general, she doesnt speak the language or even has a name and last name that could make her suffer xenophobia, so her being "hispanic" is just something she says to get more work in hollywood.
My dad is moroccan, I'm not raised in the culture, so I don't identify with that part, I don't deny my ancestry it's just stupid to identify with something I'm not really part of.

At least Ariana DeBose isn’t making a big deal about it in a snobby manner like Rachel Zegler is doing and at least DeBose comes off like a genuinely kind and loving soul.Pokenonbinary wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 2:37 pm I'm glad at least the producer is hispanic, I thought not a single person in this movie was hispanic (not even Ariana Debose is, her biological father is half hispanic but she has never met him, so she isn't even if she wants to get diversity points in castings)

Gotta love that poster.

I must say, given this film pays honor to Disney and its past, I expect the film to open like this with the book opening like we saw with Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Pinocchio, The Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and Enchanted.
Also look at the “A” in the “A story a century in the making” tagline.

So agreed.

Re: Wish
She actually does, in the promotion for West Side Story she and Zegler said in a very viral video "to be hispanic does it matter to speak the language, to eat the food, to celebrate the culture?" And this is why she and Zegler are disliked by hispanic peopleD23ExpoVisitor25 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 3:51 pmAt least Ariana DeBose isn’t making a big deal about it in a snobby manner like Rachel Zegler is doing and at least DeBose comes off like a genuinely kind and loving soul.Pokenonbinary wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 2:37 pm I'm glad at least the producer is hispanic, I thought not a single person in this movie was hispanic (not even Ariana Debose is, her biological father is half hispanic but she has never met him, so she isn't even if she wants to get diversity points in castings)

She's worse than Rachel Zegler, at least she says her grandmother would speak her in spanish and cook food sometimes, but Debose connection to Puerto Rico is just by her sperms donor (her bio father)

Re: Wish
I don't think biology cares if you were raised by your father or not? Who cares anyway, she's an actor playing a role, not playing herself. She's much more talented than Zegler as far as acting goes, imo. As far as personality, it's like night and day.

Re: Wish
Actually Elemental’s press day was March 27th and the trailer dropped the following day.
Then again, tomorrow’s Wish press conference is said to be in Toronto, not LA at the Walt Disney Animation Studios itself, so who knows if we even get the 2nd trailer this week.

Re: Wish
At Mexico’s press event for Wish today, one of the film’s producers, Juan Pablo Reyes, confirmed the film won’t be delayed, will keep its November 22nd date, and will be in theaters for “several months” to be a box office hit before going to streaming (Disney+) and other home media: https://x.com/theredsolo_/status/169153 ... 91777?s=46.

Re: Wish
Good to know that the rumors of Wish being delayed are finally squashed; and also re-affirming the longer run in movie theaters in comparison to the last two WDAS films.D23ExpoVisitor25 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 10:02 pm At Mexico’s press event for Wish today, one of the film’s producers, Juan Pablo Reyes, confirmed the film won’t be delayed, will keep its November 22nd date, and will be in theaters for “several months” to be a box office hit before going to streaming (Disney+) and other home media: https://x.com/theredsolo_/status/169153 ... 91777?s=46.

Being hispanic is a cultural term, biology doesn't mean anything, same for Puertorican that is a nationalityDisney's Divinity wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 4:59 pm I don't think biology cares if you were raised by your father or not?

Re: Wish
Some summaries of reactions to the 18 minutes of footage of Disney’s Wish that the Canadian press saw in Toronto today:
1. https://x.com/1movie5views/status/16919 ... 22105?s=46
2. https://x.com/mistercoat/status/1691871 ... 86343?s=46
3. https://x.com/bitesizebreak/status/1691 ... 83668?s=46
Unfortunately nothing new regarding when the second trailer will drop, but they said the animation looks
, the music by Julia Michaels is strong, the story (while paying honor to the past of Disney) is wholly unique, and they think that people are underestimating how big it will be at the box office.
So, take that what you will. I guess.
