Inside Pixar’s Scrapped Movie ‘Be Fri’ and the “Devastating” Aftermath

Fuck Pete Docter and Disney forever and a half for cancelling what could have been a great movie all because it didn’t appeal to cis het straight white boys ages 6-11.

We can’t have a girl power movie

C’mon, guys, it’s the 90s.

The plot sounds a bit more like Forgotten Island than KPop Demon Hunters, to be honest.

Reminds me of:

As for Korra herself, the show’s creators imagined their headstrong heroine as the kind of girl you might meet on a snowboard. “She’s muscular, and we like that,” Konietzko says. “It’s definitely better than being a waif about to pass out. I know, I look like a waif — who am I to judge?”

Some Nickelodeon executives were worried, says Konietzko, about backing an animated action show with a female lead character. Conventional TV wisdom has it that girls will watch shows about boys, but boys won’t watch shows about girls.

During test screenings, though, boys said they didn’t care that Korra was a girl. They just said she was awesome.
