Double Booked: Honeymoon (2022)

This Disney Pixar movie is based on the elements air, fire, water, and earth.

Disney movies have taken a bit of a downward turn recently. How come?

Wild Child tells the story of a wealthy, spoiled teenage girl named Poppy Moore who lives in Malibu, California, who attends a boarding school in England. This film shows us how Poppy is first labeled as a fish out of water compared to her boarding school classmates, as she is a wild child, but eventually earns her roommates' friendships and respect.

White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
