I loathe this character so much. Sadie such a frickin’ Jerk.
But this scene made me cry, because it happens to be true for me and I know exactly how this shit feels.
So bravo Molly Tarlov for your fabulous acting. You just gave voice to 21 years of body issues.

Also, THAT FACE. Sam, my darling you were onto him many years ago, and I gotta say, way to pick the hot ones.

DISNEY HAVE STOLEN MY ARTWORK
I don’t know what to do. I am so upset. Can anyone help me?
My painting was created back in 2010, (see it HERE) and since then so many people have expressed their love for it, not just on tumblr, but in many places. At least 9 people had it tattooed on their bodies. It’s one of my favourite images I created at University and I was proud of it in many ways.
Disney have used it on a cosmetics bag HERE (look at the back)
and they have produced a Tshirt HERE with a really similar design clearly modeled from my paintingI’m so mad because I have no chance at getting Disney to do anything about it. I had so much respect for the company and now I am just SO upset and disappointed.
Any help, advice or signal boosting would be amazing. And thank you so much to the kind person who messaged me about this.
This is really sad.
Look at the bag. It is the EXACT drawing. This is terrible. For the company responsible for a lot of current copyright law to do this - wow.
Please signal boost. Literally the only thing someone can do against Disney’s stealing someone’s work. Without all the lawyers.
This is so sad. :(
Signal Boost…DISNEY! One of your designers stole this and no one noticed. Please give Katie a fair (7%) royalty WITHOUT going through the unnecessary hassle of a law suit…THANK YOU! That would be the only way to prove to me that you don’t suck.
“And the second reason was — during the years that I spent running Walt Disney Studios — I learned about how hard it was to find a fairy tale with a good strong male protagonist. You’ve got your Sleeping Beauties, your Cinderellas and your Alices. But a fairy tale with a male protagonist is very hard to come by. But with the origin story of the Wizard of Oz, here was a fairy tale story with a natural male protagonist. Which is why I knew that this was an idea for a movie that was genuinely worth pursuing.”
TEN MILLION YEARS DUNGEON NO TRIAL
I AM SO ANGRY I COULD SPIT FIRE OUT OF EVERY ORIFICE WHY DOES SHE HAVE BOOBS
ALSO, LION KING, HERCULES, ALADDIN, TREASURE PLANET, EL DORADO, EMPERORS NEW GROOVE, JUNGLE BOOK, PETER PAN, 101 DALMATIANS, THE FOX AND THE HOUND, BAMBI, RESCUERS DOWN UNDER, ROBIN HOOD, AN AMERICAN TALE, OLIVER AND COMPANY, ARISTOCATS, THREE AMIGOS OMG THERE ARE SO MANY WITH MALE PROTAGONISTS HOLY SHIT
ALSO, those with female protagonists WIND UP HAVING TO BE SAVED BY MALES. OKAY.
RECONDITIONIIIIIIIIIIIIING EVERYONE NEEDS RECONDITIONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGNGGGGGNGJFNJLKJKJKS
BAUM NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE SO HE CAN STAB EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS MOVIE. He was a feminist and surrounded by women’s sufferage movement supporters (he was active in it himself!) and wrote the story with A STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST.
Agreed, this is ridiculous, but I do have to point out that not all female protagonists need to be saved by males. IE: Merida.
Also, she has boobs because she’s a lady.Merida is only one of a small few, though. And I think what they meant with the boob comment was why is she being sexualized?
Exactly, and exactly. “She has boobs because she’s a lady” is not what we’re talking about here. Using that logic, Psylocke’s ass-bearing costume is cool then too, because she has an ass, because she’s a lady, right? It’s all about context. Unnecessary sexualization is gross, and continues to happen disproportionately to female characters. As if the Wicked Witch of the West needed visible cleavage to be interesting!
While some more recent Disney movies have featured strong heroines, the thing that makes us all roll our eyes is that two of the three movies that the producer mentioned in his original comment do NOT, and he held them out as an example. The real hero of Sleeping Beauty is Prince Philip; the real heroes of Cinderella are anyone but Cinderella (it does have the fairy godmother, but she’s more of a fairy deus ex machina than anything).
It’s ignorant to suggest that a tradition of passive female characters in cinematic roles is somehow over just because Merida knows how to shoot a bow and arrow. Case in point: this new movie, which features the witches falling all over themselves at the return of the prophecy-fulfilling Oz.
Baum’s books featured one strong female character after another—this was a man who married a feminist (the Cornell-educated Maud Gage Baum), who was the daughter of a the famous activist Matilda Joslyn Gage. He hung out with Susan B. Anthony, for chrissakes. It isn’t too much to ask that maybe, just maybe, adaptations of his work feature some of the things that make it so engaging in the first place.
And to the commenter who used Wicked as a justification for sexualized boob-witch: no. You are miles wide of the point on this one.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Pied Piper, The Clever Little Tailor, Tom Thumb, The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Prince and the Pauper, The Fisherman and His Wife, The Four Skillful Brothers, The Golden Bird, just to name a few. Honestly, did you not do a whole lot of research into faiytales? Cause there are TONS of guys in them. Maybe not all strong as you’d like, but they’re there. And what is so bad about having strong male and female characters? Like in Hansel and Gretel or Brother and Sister.
And if you were so desperate for a “strong male character” why not gender-bend the fairytale? Make a girl the beast and a man the beauty, make The Little Merman or The Twelve Dancing Princes or something. Or, if you’re feeling really brave, twist the fairytale. Like doing Jack and the Beanstalk from the Giant’s point of view. Or, the Boy Who Cried Wolf from the wolf’s point of view, or heck, make the wolf a werewolf.
Just don’t say “There are like not many strong male characters in fairytales.” Because unless you base all of your knowledge solely on Disney movies (meaning no offense to those who do, just pointing out that there are MANY fairytales out there beyond the movies.) you know that there is a huge number of characters of varying gender, age, ethnicity, race and species.
I don’t hold anything against the movie. I just don’t agree with the reason the film was supposedly created.

The bravest woman on Earth.
There aren’t any words to describe how brave and amazing this young woman is.

Interesting. Did you know Anne Hathaway issued an apology for not wearing this Valentino dress (pictured in the middle) to the Oscars?
“It came to my attention late Saturday night that there would be a dress worn to the Oscars that is remarkably similar to the Valentino I had intended to wear, and so I decided it was best for all involved to change my plans. Though I love the dress I did wear, it was a difficult last minute decision as I had so looked forward to wearing Valentino in honor of the deep and meaningful relationship I have enjoyed with the house and with Valentino himself. I deeply regret any disappointment caused.”
She is basically BFF with Valentino, so this was a big surprise and I imagine he wasn’t too thrilled about it. (Rumor has it Jennifer Aniston was going to wear a nude tulle dress but her team switched it when they heard Anne was wearing something similar.) The fact she heard about it “late Saturday night” implies to me there still could have been time to switch out the dress for something from the archives, though… maybe Valentino wouldn’t have been able to ship it/have someone fly it there in time?
I understand Anne wanting to give an apology to Valentino for rejecting his dress at the last minute. But I seriously do not understand what made her have to apologize publicly for wearing a different one. She heard that another star was wearing something similar to what she was and decided to change. What is so bad about that which requires a public apology? I don’t understand what made people so furious over this dress. I’ll agree it isn’t the most flattering one in the world. Still, it’s not like she walked on the red carpet wearing just her heels.
It was the Oscars. It was a Valentino dress. I understand both of these are prestigious achievements which require a certain level of respect from everyone involved.Yet why did she have to apologize for something that wasn’t done maliciously or even affected anyone aside from Anne Hathaway and Valention’s brand. And Anne apologized to Valentino for the inconvenince it caused him.
I don’t know. Brain broken.
I also find it hilarious that everyone talks about how horrible this dress looked on Anne. Yet they also would have crucified her for wearing a dress so similar to Amanda’s. In the end, both would be picked apart for who wore it best. Which is just mind boggling for me.
I’m still dying to know about what tattoo Hermione claimed to have….
And if she actually does have it because it’s harry’s “body” not hers.
