Pretty much Disney propaganda in a nutshell, and I totally agree.

I saw it now.

Honestly, it was a good movie. I didn’t see much wokeness here.

Heck, Eric, the white male, is actually more interesting in this version than in the animated version.

It increased my interest in live action Disney again.

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Halle Bailey was great as Ariel, and I agree that Eric was way more interesting.
