Blocked in the UK too. Fuck you, YouTube. Thank boobies for downloads and the VVC livestream! I was grinning all the way watching it because it is put together so incredibly well, the parallels and carried motion are a joy to behold.
Very glad to read that it was chosen for in-depth. Need to come back to ask you questions after I've watched it some more times. The thing that struck me off the cuff, though, was that I got quite a cynical tone from the RL girls at the end. As in, Disney has started to push the empowering narrative and a new generation of girls is absorbing that party line as readily as the previous generation absorbed the party line of that time. The product on the shelf may have changed its spots, but the method of selling remains the same. I'm not sure if it's just me reading my own cynicism into it.
