I don't think Brave promoted it as a 'default' mother-daughter bond, nor do I believe the original poster did either. But yes, actually featuring such a bond in a Disney movie, rather than their typical missing mother backstory, is at least somewhat feminist in nature, imo. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9436-if-it-wasnt-for-that-one-thing-how-movies-couldve-been-better/page/7/#findComment-8531825

I'm affected by my own mom's behavior. I think that promoting it -- rather than reinforcing that mothers can also be abusive and even murderous towards a daughter --is ultimately not good.

Mothers and daughters can have all sorts of bonds and relationships, and I don't think it should be emphasized that any particular sort, good or bad or in-between, is always the case. I think we can definitely agree on that. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9436-if-it-wasnt-for-that-one-thing-how-movies-couldve-been-better/page/7/#findComment-8534259
methodwriter85 Monday at 08:43 PM Share Monday at 08:43 PM I love Michelle Yeoh, but they needed to have either cast someone who can actually sing for Wicked, or they needed to dub her. Supposedly her character has more complicated songs and I don't see how that's going to work when she could barely talk sing. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9436-if-it-wasnt-for-that-one-thing-how-movies-couldve-been-better/page/7/#findComment-8539438

She’s got a bit part and a couple of songs. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9436-if-it-wasnt-for-that-one-thing-how-movies-couldve-been-better/page/7/#findComment-8539552
