[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone upset over the abuse - you do realize parental abuse is part of pretty much every Disney movie, yea?

Cinderella - evil stepmother, no punishment or redemption or apology, Cinderella just gets saved by a prince.

Tangled - evil woman kidnaps baby and locks her in a tower

Moana - parents abuse her for wanting to live her own life, rather than obeying them

Frozen - parents abuse Elsa by expecting her to just suppress her feelings and hide who she is. Abuse Anna by not explaining the situation and letting her grow up alone and isolated.

It goes on and on. It’s just part of Disney movies. Why so upset over *this* abuse? [/quote]

You have a very low bar for what you consider abusive. Moana and Elsa's parents were protective, not abusive. Elsa's parents didn't understand her poor and were afraid that people would be hurt by it. Moana's parents didn't want her to drown in trying to pass the reef, as her dad's friend did.

Abuela wasn't abusive, either. Have none of you lived in a family where a couple of kids were literally gifted but not all? I did. I wasn't abused by my parents, nor were my gifted sisters. My parents just had way higher expectations for them than they did for me. They still loved me just as much. We all try to please our parents, and that doesn't make us all the victims of abuse. Abuela thought they had a higher calling, and her family members tried to live up to that. That's what Mirabel's sisters literally sing about - pressure to be perfect and letting go of that.

That said, it's not a great movie. I'm just tired of reading all these "Abuela was so abusive and such a villain" posts. She was neither. [/quote]

Did you hide away from your family? Either figuratively metaphorically or literally because you didn't have the special gift They idealized.  Did you sleep in a nursery until you were 20 because you didn't get a room because you didn't have the special gift. [/quote]

Mirabel is 15. Don’t know why you keep saying 20.[/quote]
