Frozen II: The most disappointing original Disney animated movie since Chicken Little.
Frozen II is not quite direct to DVD Disney sequel level, but if it wasn’t for the spellbinding animation and budget, it certainly would be.

There’s been a longstanding criticism of sci-fi films about its lack of Black characters. For the past few years, Anthony Mackie has been successfully representing Black masculinity in the otherwise homogenous genre and I am here for it.
It’s fun, it’s energetic, but it’s also understated and vicarial. Zola is a modern black fairytale and future of black movies.
By undermining the appeal and credibility of black characters, the show compromises the very idea of diversity and representation it sets to promote.
Unfortunately, People We Meet on Vacation didn’t hold up quite as well as I’d hoped.
