If I'm honest, I actually don't love this response.
I think it's poorly written, bordering on immature and now Disney is just stuck in the muck with all the other morons.
The topic should be addressed by them as the outcry is ridiculous, but not as a "clap back" that seems like it was written by a 16 year old. Although it's FreeForm, so that may be the demographic they are targeting?
I feel like they really had a chance to make a meaningful, powerful statement in response to the hatred being spewed and didn't do it. But it is better than staying silent.
Social Media can be good for some things, but it can also suck the humanity, grace and civility out of everyone.
I'm looking forward to the movie though! Little Mermaid is one of my favorites. Although an original, non remake would have been better.
I just hope they keep her charming qualities where shes clumsy and isn't sure that she is good at anything. That's the part of the story I think that resonates with people most.
