Is it just me, or did anyone else notice the casual sexism in this kids’ movie - one of the characters is called out by another character as having chosen the voice of a middle aged white woman, which is then described as the most annoying voice that exists...it reminded me of the vitriol directed at “Karen’s” and seemed really inappropriate in a movie for kids. (The movie isn’t great incidentally!)

Yeah I groused at that part too.

If you replaced any of the adjectives you would not get away with it but seems ok - in fact politically correct- to degrade white women of a certain age.

I always found the voices of middle-aged women comforting, even when they are being a bit sharp, as they have experience and can be trusted. Shame some of the young apparently don't recognise that now.

Well it was dripping in woke, so clearly middle aged white people are the natural target of the wokest. I watched it yesterday and couldn't get my head round the complete gibberish non-story, which was forfeited in the name of mawkish shite.

It was indeed noted.

Yup, noticed it too. Shame as it was a cracking movie but they just had to wedge that casual sexism in there didn't they.
