Well I think icky undertones are just finefor the villain of the piece."

I sincerely hope you can understand the difference in feeling icky because someone is a Disney villain and feeling icky because you're seeing a metaphor for centuries of racial tension and disrespect played out on screen.

Might this be an opportunity to hold a mirror up to humanity then? Not that it would be overt, but the metaphor might teach a positive lesson to some.

Of course, this is years away so we'll have to wait and see.

In any case, I'm thrilled for Halle. I've seen her open for Beyonce several times. She and her sister are the real deal.
