The new Disney adaptation of the evergreen children's story is
being panned by reviewers all over the internet as woke trash, that further
tarnishes the Disney brand. It currently has a 20% favoarable rating on
Rotten Tomatoes. Released direct to cable, it seems some in corporate knew
enough than to release it to theaters, so it could suffer it's ignominy in
relative privacy. Choosing to update the cultural aesthetic to 21st c norms,
while keeping the Edwardian setting of the original book, all it succeeds at
doing is creating a cringe-fest that makes you feel embarassed for everyone
involved.

What do you expect from a live-action remake of a classic Disney
animated classic?

It's not that Disney can't do live-action films; it's just that the
well of stories appears to have run dry and so they are resorting to
self-cannibalization.
