They potentially seem to be heading more in that direction as, despite having both a female and male lead, there was no hint of a romance storyline in Moana either, again going with a more "sibling-like" vibe.

I quite liked that..so many Disney films seem to be about romances so I enjoyed having one that had no hint of that stuff. So it kind of annoys me a bhit that since there was no love interest, people seem determined to introduce a love interest :laugh:

Haven't seen Moana. But I would love it if more and more films stopped being about the pretty little princess doing nothing really but trying to find Prince Charming. Just seems so..old fashioned.

I still have crushes on Prince Eric and Aladdin.

Aladdin was my first crush :D Wasn't til like a couple of years ago I fopund out hes meant to look like Tom Cruise..

Well yeah..you cannot encourage someone to be gay. Transgender characters though, it really really would depend how they handled it as kids can be convinced they are trans just because of stereotypical crap. I think with trans pressure groups heading into schools to tell 5 year old kids that they may be trans if they like stuff associated with the opposite sex..we need no more of that nonsense.


Like others, I think its inappropriate for the characters in disney films to be promiscuous. Just no need at all. And I would prefer if they left Elsa alone as just a woman who does not fawn over the handsome prince or whatever. refreshing change, and hopefully more are made that way. but other characters..theres no reason at all for not having gay/bi ones. Just not my Elsa :laugh:

Well Frozen does still have the romance plot with Anna but its supposed to subvert the usual Disney tropes, too, as her "Prince Charming" turns out to be the villain, and she ends up with a "normal guy" instead.

Moana has no romance plot at all, it's just Moana herself and Maui, who is an immortal demi-god, sort of similar to the Aladdin/Genie relationship if anything. Except he doesn't really want to help her [emoji23].

Its a good film though, I genuinely recommend it :joker:. I mean, The Rock sings in it. You can't ask for much more.

Yeah, I do like how Moana and Elsa both eschew romance all together as well.

I think it's time for a gay princess or prince though, representation and normalisation can save lives.

Get your cool daughter to read every TiBB post out to you in Helium Robot (it sounds like a font)... could be funny
