How long until we get snow black and the 7 genders?
Fuck who cares? They're Siamese cats man. Only these clowns would think removing Asian characters is 'less racist' than having Asian characters do Asian things.
Paladin Bash has spoken.
Why are people mad they changed this? The appearance of the cats was based on racial stereotypes and the melody of the song played on that. It's obvious why they changed the song, because it was overly "Chinese-Sounding" to play up the appearance of the "Chinese Cats". If the cats are no longer as derpy in appearance, why keep the song that way too? The scene would just look awkward and confusing.
If a company admits something they made was inappropriate, because it was based on admittedly inappropriate reasoning, why do you guys care? Maybe Disney made a racist joke and didn't care then but they do now. And? Happened before. Did you die?

I'm sure they do, but they won't touch a western movie with a Chinese villain unless they also have a Chinese hero in it too. China banned the release of Christopher Robin (a Disney film) because President Xi doesn't like comparisons to Winnie the Pooh. I'm sure Disney are really keen for that to happen again.
Also, great Cat knowledge. But naughty Asian Cats the will make this film toxic in China no matter how they look or where they are actually from.
I mean, heres the thing, and I can't make this more direct. I am not going to see any of disneys craptastic live action remakes, I am not going to spend money on something that is only being designed so disney can profit off of their need to retain the licence on their properties, which is why this bullshit live action craze was started in the first place.
That said, given the hyper overly sensitive snowflake times we live in today, where so much as a joke online can be taken so out of context it costs people their jobs, its very obvious why disney decided to do this. They know the maw of the beast in this current era, don't wanna piss off the snowflake generation.

I love how people get triggered when people try to make stuff contemporary.
The song wouldn't make sense in a modern adaption so they're changing it. If you want to the old shit you can still go back and listen to the old shit. Seriously, what's the point of remaking something if you're not going to adapt it to modern times?
I bet yall would've been complaining back then about forced diversity or some shit. Stop crying all little stuff all the time.

People that complain about this kind of stuff need to find better and more meaningful things to do with their time.
Racial stereotypes? Not a problem.
Removing racial stereotypes? OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK THIS WORLD!!!!!!!! BURN IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!

thing is, there wasn't force diversity, or forced gender politics, not like there is today, because while back then people were fighting for the right to be treated like human beings, todays generation isn't content with that even, they need their social and political ideology on billboards and if you don't respect that, you need to be arrested!
Thats why they call it the snowflake generation.

Also, this is Disney's property. They are allowed to do what they want with it.
Why are conservatives so hellbent on forcing people to do what they want them to with their own property?

It's a kid's movie about dogs falling in love and eating spaghetti. This isn't some sacrosanct material here, people. Why would you care if they change it?
Why leave in the racist caricatures singing? Does it add anything to the film?
They aren't removing it from the original, they're just not adding it to the new one.
