        I’m guessing because they didn’t want to be anti-cop + they can remove the queer found family aspect from the film by removing Jumba and Pleekly being bros.

        Despite that I bet people are blaming woke

          Yeah I’ve seen some absolute crap takes but seems a lot of people get that this is clearly propaganda for Disney Resort Hawaii as well as going against native values (they even removed He Mele No Lilo).

          The movie overall feels like the most trite dogshit neoliberal slop crafted by the ghost of Margaret Thatcher screaming at you that “society” doesn’t exist and you should gladly stomp on your siblings necks for financial advancement.
