Based on real events is such a long stretch
The validation of fiction through the mindless label of being "based on" actual events is a popular and persistent delusion. Historical drama is saturated with interpretation by writers, directors, cinematographers and performers, and the phrase "based on" typically does a lot of heavy lifting. No aspect of the production is ignored for the purpose of conveying meaning, and what you are consuming is a multitude of artistic interpretation. Of course there's nothing at all wrong with telling a story, but telling a story whilst pretending your story has the imprimatur of documentary is dishonest.
Modern Disney checklist:
No love cuz agency is better No old witches because ageism. No princes because patriarchy No walking or running cuz ableism. No houses cuz homeism is wrong.

Black Sleeping Beauty
Can I start a new trend? I made a bunch of pictures on Bing Ai depicting fairy tale Disney movies in the style of 1970s blaxpliotation movies. I mean why make a remake when you can make a funky black version?
