Disney's newest film has sparked a discussion about the company's pattern of recasting old
00:04
roles to non-white actors, rather than introducing new diverse ones. It started
00:08
with the announcement that Yara Shahidi will portray Tinkerbell in the upcoming Peter Pan
00:12
and Wendy film. Many praised the move, similar to when it was announced that Halle Bailey would play
00:17
Ariel in The Little Mermaid. Some, however, pointed out that rather than producing new
00:20
stories of diversity and inclusion, Disney is developing a pattern of recycling and recasting
00:25
existing roles. Quote, The reason studios make beloved characters black in the live-action
00:30
adaptations is so they don't have to go to the trouble of actually giving special,
00:34
brand new unique characters made from scratch to black people, one Twitter user wrote. Others
00:38
echoed the sentiment, calling the casting lazy and a move that prioritizes image more than
00:43
inclusivity.
