Heh, I mean, for what it is it's not bad, but there are better Disney movies out there, and there were better movies that came out that year (WALL-E, Kung Fu Panda).
It's "awkward" because people are making them awkward when that wasn't the purpose from the start. People can't seem to grasp that standards back then are different from the standards of today. We need to stop bitching about the past and focus on the now, because otherwise we're not going to go anywhere. Leave the past history alone, and just make history. I have issues with Frozen that go past the whole ~equality~ hype because it didn't do ~equality~ correctly. Come on, the animation director moaned that "women are too hard to animate and keep beautiful". How is that ~equality~?
Lol. Again, I personally don't care about a character's ethnicity unless it's part of the setting and thus plays a role in it--and even then, I just don't think about it. I get it that Mulan is Chinese, and Lilo and Nana are Hawaiian, and Tiana is black mainly because of the culture surrounding them (even though the character designs stick out, but it's not sticking out like a sore thumb), but I don't care about their skin color because the movies don't rub it in my face about it. I don't care that Big Hero 6 tried to be more racially diverse even though thinking on it, how was I supposed to know they were of different races when the movie's setting doesn't reflect it? To me, culture is what defines a person's ethnicity, not skin color. That's why The Book of Life worked well for me, because while I don't care about the skin color of the characters, I knew they were Mexican because of the culture. (Watch Book of Life, by the way, the art direction's amazing.)
