These articles always seem weird to me. Back when Black Panther came out, articles poured out with people surprised that black people wanted to see movies. As a Latino, Latinos seeing movies with large families isn’t new, it’s been decades. Everyone sees movies, just make good movies.
The article also mentioned Latinos being underrepresented with on the big screen, I wonder if next year we’ll see a surge of latino oriented movies from studios trying to cash in.
Without trying to spoil much. There is definitely some overlap in reusing some of the structure of the first movie and disney playing it safe, but the themes it hits on, hit really hard, I would imagine even more so for some adults.
I am very torn. While I appreciate the love that went into this project (and you can see it). It doesn’t really offer much to the larger story and probably didn’t beed to be 40min. If it were part of a tv series, I think it would likely slot in well, with some additional parallel Shire content going on.
The interesting thing about Tidal is that is was originally owned by artists (Jay-Z, Beyoncé; Kanye West; Madonna; Jason Aldean; Alicia Keys; Arcade Fire; Coldplay’s Chris Martin; Rihanna; and deadmau5) Who have since sold off a majority share to Block, while Jay-Z kept a board seat and other artists still have shares. Curious if it will last.
