The film takes place in Scandinavia where there's lots of snow and frozen stuff. That's why the people are blond and white. Would Koreans flock to see a white Pocahontas or Mowgli? Would they go to see the Lion King if he was a frog? That's animalism.  |

Very thought provoking. Would many people here want to watch a movie with a handsome Asian male lead? |

I liked the movie "Hero" just fine, and that had a handsome Asian male lead character. |

I don't watch kid's movies (which this was). Are you saying that kids would be less interested if the ethnicity was different? |

I used to watch Bruce Lee movies when I was a kid, and I'm still a fan of Jackie Chan's movies.
I haven't watched Frozen, but I get the impression that Disney actually is very PC about making films of various races. Mulan had Asian characters, Aladdin had Arab characters, The Princess and the Frog had a black princess, the main character of Pocahontas was Native American, and so on.
Hopefully Disney will make a sequel of Mulan so the writer can calm down and relax. |

It can be the heart-warming tale of how a plucky young Korean girl was instrumental in the creation of Hangeul. |

there is one, "Mulan II" but it was straight to vhs/dvd. lol surprised the writer didn't bring that up and be pissed because he felt it was the white man putting Asians down into the "straight to dvd" bin |

Oh, shoot. Is there really a Mulan II? My wife watched Mulan recently on Netflix. She might be interested in the sequel. |

| Where in the article does he say Frozen is racist? Isn't more that Frozen has white characters because whites are racist? |
