Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast (2014)
Fawn's Sexy Makeover
This movie was fine, we enjoyed it.
But I'm disappointed over Fawn's makeover. She went from no-fuss hair, shorts, and plain skin - to a carefully coiffed hairdo, miniskirt, and red lipstick.
I can't think of a single reason why a sexy makeover would be necessary for this character or this story, and my 2 and 5 year old daughters are asking me why Fawn doesn't look the same.
Disney - the only thing that needs a makeover, is your attention to social responsibility.
Our daughters (and sons) need more "normal" female role models, yesterday. Thanks.
Planes (2013)
Dull with terrible female characters
And the award for most unoriginal, boring, forgettable movie of the year goes to... PLANES. Oh, and, three cheers for yet another movie with an all-male cast, except for the two shallow lust interests, and the one token female mechanic, whose primary function was to ask plot questions for the males to answer.
I didn't expect much going in, but it was so much worse than that. We walked out of the theater, at my children's request, 75% through. Feminist rant aside, it was just so, so, BORING. I gave it a 2 because I did like the soundtrack.
Back on the feminist ranting: This movie failed the Bechdel test. For those who don't know, a movie passes the Bechdel test if: 1. It has at least two women in it, 2. who talk to each other, 3. about something besides a man.
