In this week's episode we discuss Disney's recent remakes of their classic animated movies. By examining these movies we hope to discuss what happens when art is no longer as valued as making money. Why has Disney decided to take this route? Will there be long term consequences? How do these remakes hurt people of color as they attempt to take outdated and racist stories and refurbish them into "woke" live action films? Can these stories be successfully updated or should they be left in the past? We're sure the company will take these concerns seriously on this episode of Gray Spaces.
