All is not well in the house of the mouse. There's a vicious and public fight over Walt Disney Co.'s board, and late last year its share price hit an almost decade low. Did Disney 'go woke and go broke' as culture warrior rhyming wordsmiths like to suggest?An 82-year-old billionaire who is vying for a seat on Disney's board has criticised Disney’s “woke” film strategy with ‘Black Panther's’ all black cast and ‘Marvels’ all female cast. So is Disney’s fairytale shine finally dimming? In this episode, The Antoinettes take the opportunity to unpack and poke fun at problematic fairytale Disney classics (and their even more frightening book origin stories). One Antoinette, who is a stepmother, gets pretty mad, although she promises she's not evil. Are modern adaptations of Disney classics worth doing (culturally and financially?) Or do we just need new stories and ideas (think Encanto and Coco) rather than reviving old ones and igniting boring culture wars? Click here to subscribe to The Antoinettes.
