How woke is this?
I hope it has vertically challenged monkeys and depictions of equal, female witches with safe spaces?
shareThis movie is actually kind of work for its time with “little people” being represented as good people who are being oppressed. Also Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion seem to represent the LGBTQ community. It also depicts urban living (“in the merry old land of Oz”) as the pinnacle of existence much like urban cities seem to act as if they are the most desirable places to live in real life.
shareThe Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion do not represent the LGBTQ community in any way. There is nothing gay or trans about any of them, and the actors who played them were all straight.
