Reading this week’s People Magazine, I saw this ad for “Secret of the Wings:”
So this is how Disney prefers to allow females to be front and center: Go straight to DVD (or, alternatively, a 1:46 minute homage) and pose animated, magical creatures like fashion models.
In your wildest imagination, can you picture male, fantasy creatures advertising a DVD in People, standing just like this? Why is it so rare for females to get to star in major-motion pictures made for kids? Why is the imaginary world so sexist?
To me, it’s not a fashion model pose and has more to do with angles. Wings, elbows, knees. It’s a well-composed picture.
I understand the sentiment, but Secret of Wings is actually going to be on cinemas.
“Secret of the Wings is the fourth movie in this series of direct-to-DVD films and is scheduled to be released on October 23, 2012.”
I am sorry, I’ve been seeing the trailer and posters now for some time, and it has been released here 09/21 and it ranked 4° on the box office. I assumed it was released in the US too.
Plus they look like they’re competing. Can 2 girls star in anything without competing?
Look at their faces, they look like they’re both up to something together. And the trailer leaves no doubt they start at friends and share a power. Look how even at this poster their wings are slightly touching and sparkling, that’s the “secret of wings”.
