Last week studio Disney noted immediately in two scandals related to the censorship of their work for the sake of certain political and social groups. The largest is associated with the film “Mulan“, which was redone to please the Chinese authorities.
It’s no secret that at one time the original cartoon was criticized by the Chinese audience for distorting the classic work. “The Legend of Mulan“. Accepting a new film adaptation, the Disney leadership decided to bend under the Communist Party of China, as well as to hide behind the movement #MeToo. As you know, instead of a dragon Mushu the Phoenix bird will appear in the film, but they completely got rid of the songs.
In addition, the romance between the girl and her commander was completely removed. Lee Shan. Instead, a new love interest was invented for her, as the relationship between Hua Mulan and Shana was given away with harassment. The Chinese test audience also demanded to cut the moment with a kiss of lovers.
The second scandal associated with the launch of the final season of the animated series “The Clone Wars. It’s no secret that the episodes were under active development when Disney swallowed Lucasfilm. However, the new leadership demanded to close the too “expensive” project for the sake of a cheaper series “Rebels”
As a result, incomplete renderings of the Clone Wars leaked to the Network. When Disney nevertheless gave a green light to the project, the fans decided to compare the draft and the final versions.
Minor changes understandable, but censorship of the second episode attracted attention A distant echo. In one of the scenes Anakin Skywalker sees that clones from the defective squad inflicted a frank image of the senator on their spaceship Padme Amidala (in the spirit of American pilots during the Second World War). In the final version of the series this scene is not (watch from 2:00).
