How can you say it’s the worst movie ever then say it looks cringe. So you haven’t seen it yet I’m guessing.

Im not understanding the limb outrage either.

Cloven fingers and toes are all over folklore for ancient creatures/monsters and the character is meant to be the high witch.

[UserSince2005]

her fingers do look exactly like that guys from last leg. they could have been a bit more outlandish with the them so they didnt look so human.

The film was OK, not as good as the first by a mile but it was watchable. Really can't believe it was in anyway controversial though

Yeah I wouldn't call it good, it's fine The old one was actually scary (for kids), this was just a silly cartoon.

If they made the Grand High Witch look like an actual monster like the old film, instead of a SnapChat effect, people might not be moaning so much.

and speaking of disability representation, I went to IMDB and it turns out they hired an actual mouse-boy to play Bruno! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0693241/

Or, having seen the pictures, they could have gone with making the hands even MORE like a bird's talons, to make them very clearly non-human.

Children with limb differences will see this and think of themselves of monsters because of this offensive portrayal. It’s unacceptable and how did no one think about what they were doing when making the film.

Victor Crowley is deformed but I don’t see people being mad about that

No. You're grasping at straws to get offended on behalf of other people because you feel like you're obligated to. Laughable.

The witch doesn't have "limb differences", she has three finger claws like a bird of prey (the children being the mice she is preying on). She doesn't have missing fingers, those are her hands.

You're focussing on the fact that Anne Hathaway is a human and is using prosthetics to hide her human hands to invent something that is not there.

lol simmer down.

Not everything has to be seen through the lens of whether or not it's "representation", why not watch the original and cry about how it makes fun of people with long fingers, or women with no hair?
