Jumba did nothing wrong.

Also I remember the TV show being fun.

Something that went over my head as a kid is that it’s literally about colonialism. It would have been more blatant about it but my now-favorite scene got cut. I agree it’s a good movie.

I didn't see it until my mid 20s and gotta say, it's such a fucking good movie. End of Renaissance Disney gave us easily their best 3 movies, Lilo and Stich, Emperor's New Groove and Treasure Planet. Lilo and Stich has fucking LAYERS to it. Deep but understated characters, anti colonial themes, being a weird lil guy (all the protagonists are their own kind of weird lil guy). It rules. Fucking love Lilo and Stitch.

Emperor's new groove is 10/10

I bet I would've picked up on the colonialism subtext if Nani wasn't distractingly hot.

Chris Sanders is incredibly horny. The fact they let him make a movie is uh, surprising.

His art is very blatant (CW horny pinups) hentai-free

Wait, I remember this scene. It was in the movie.

Maybe it was only not in the US release?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago

They changed the building to hills for the final release. The scene is there but it looks less like 9/11

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Ooooh yeah that makes sense

What's not to like about a story of a colonizer who realizes how fucked up his societies practice is and joins the defense forces to help protect against future colonization attempts? Besides the minor subtext being the targeted society was defenseless without a blue savior.

There’s also a lot of meaning re: colonialism in the scene where Nani sings Aloha ‘Oe to Lilo

I've actually never seen it because it came out when I was already aged out of Disney movies. 2002 I was in junior high school and on that dark medieval fantasy world shit of Diablo and Everquest.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

It's a genuinely fantastic movie

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Ugh, I am not looking forward to that live-action remake

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They're doing WHAT?!?! Oh no, nooooooo

Noooo they're going to remove all the anti-colonial themes aren't they?

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

I'm sorry you had to find out this way

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

It's coming very soon. I think there's a trailer. I will do large dangerous things if I am exposed to it.

I’ve never seen something I hate more than this, and I’ve seen Mike Huckabee in person.

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

It was inevitable.

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

It's a really damn good movie

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I really liked it and loved the tv show when i was a kid

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

it's so good, my favourite animated disney flick along with treasure planet. people have already mentioned the colonialism themes but what I also love is how it's a beautiful outsider story. even has queer aspects.

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

It's really one of the best

If the Disney movie has good songs I'm in so I'm a fan of a lot of the recent ones too, though.

[-] Verenata@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

One of the best no doubt xi-clap
