The Cartoon Network executive recently said something really sexist about animation and live action.
"Girls often graduate out of animation, that's why we're making more single and multi-cam live-action movies to target towards the girls without alienating the boys." (I may not have gotten that completely correct, but it's incredibly close to his statement.)
Okay, so basically,
CORINNE IS BEING MADE IN LIVE-ACTION BECAUSE CARTOON NETWORK THINKS THAT GIRLS DON'T LIKE ANIMATION.
This is absolutely ridiculous and I hope that American Girl notices what Cartoon Network is truly doing with the new Corinne film. I was excited, but I'm scared that CN is going to lead American Girl into something much worse for what they wanted this movie to by made for.
I honestly think AG had good intentions, yet Cartoon Network had other ideas on their marketing of the movie. If it makes you guys feel better, Cartoon Network wasn’t involved in this production- it was Mattel and an independent company. It’s only airing on Cartoon Network and streaming on HBO Max.
