Wow! I had forgotten all about A Wrinkle in Diversity. I guess I wasn’t alone…
I can’t WAIT till someone makes a movie of the fabulous book … A Wrinkle in Time!. Please let me know when a film is made of this book … so far no one has
There was a low-budget ABC TV movie shot in Canadian in 2003. It’s much closer to the book, even if they can’t resist a few odd casting choices.
I gave up on Disney years ago. If you want a reminder of what it used to be like, every 3 months or so, Turner Classic Movies devotes an evening to some of its classic films.
Here too. We quite with Disney when it became a progressive propaganda machine.
Star Wars is f_____!
Next up Stark Wars on HBO (aka GOT)
You would think that a $100,000,000.00 loss would be a sufficient rebuke to a movie maker, enough of a drubbing to make them re-think their approach. But you would be wrong, because the SJWs are all out there today blaming this loss on racism/sexism/homophobia.
Yes, it is not Disney’s fault this thing went down in flames. It is America’s fault.
Having read the book to my kids when they were younger, I was initially glad to hear of a potential film.
When I saw who was in it, I stayed home.
Thanks for the advice. We won’t waste our money, but it being a Disney production was a clue that it would be a SJ exercise.
Look at the comments for the movie on IMDB.com. It was thoroughly savaged.
This is a remake, the other wasn’t very good eitherv
I guess if you change everything and add a bunch of different body odors to the characters than the book, the movie gives off a stink no one likes.
Walt must be doing 60 rpm’s with all these stuff being done in his name.
But then, that’s what the progs do the best, appropriation. Truly, they didn’t built that. They just stole and corrupted it. Just like the Ford Foundation. Or the Heinz Foundation now run by Kerry, the guy with amnesia who thinks he is still Secretary of State. Or even the genre of Westerns, once the most American of all our traditions.
Disney Stripped ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ of Christianity and Lost $100 Million
As Breitbart News reported at the time, the crucial mistake the filmmakers and Disney made was removing the Christianity from what is essentially a Christian children’s book.
My point is not that this act of anti-Christian bigotry hurt the movie by offending moviegoers, but that this act of bigotry stripped Wrinkle of if its central themes, and by extension, of all the substance and human insight that comes with Christian themes, which are also universal themes. According to countless reviews, what was left was a confection of empty calories: lovely CGI on the outside and a black hole of meaningless spirituality on the inside.

Now we know why this movie bombed. Good riddance.
re IMDB:
good grief. a *4.2* on the likeability scale. here’s one sample title from the comments:
“I want to gouge out the part of my brain that remembers this movie”
aka oprah fatfry still telling the rest of us how to live.
I hope disney does a bronfman, putting all those carefully collected eggs in uno basketo and do a titanic on themselves.
I did like that thing Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson did, ‘Saving Mr Banks’. dont know how ‘accurate’ it was.
