uovoc:ianthe:thealexbane:gnarly-art:Lilo and Stitch presenting an accurate representation of Hawaiians perspective on luaus held by tourists. #what’s sad about this is that this is actually what Hawaiians had to do when the western culture took over #a luau was a sacred practice #until the westerners took the concept and had the audacity to change it into a time to stuff your face with food and put on grass skirts and coconut bras and dance the hula #and when they had these events, they didn’t even let actual Hawaiian people in #so to make money to take care of themselves, the Hawaiians were hired to work in these disgraceful events to clean up after the tourists like slaves only to make less than a buck #so good job disney for doing your fucking research and educating these people #sadly, this still goes on even until today and it makes me sickI forgot this isn’t common knowledge to other peopleReal talk whoever the creative team on this movie was should stage a coup of Disney and just make more real shit like L&SThe writers were Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois. Sanders was also behind the movie’s character designs.Both of them left for Dreamworks Animation, where they now direct/produce the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, among other things. -- source link
