Disney has been trying to be diversely inclusive in their casting towards Disney remakes so that a range of actors can audition for roles that were previously played by white actors. But some casting decisions have caused backlash, like when Black actress Halle Bailey experienced racist backlash for her Disney casting as Ariel in "The Little Mermaid." Now one of Disney’s other upcoming movies. "Peter Pan & Wendy," has been experiencing backlash for the same reason, namely hiring a Black actress to take on the role of Tinker Bell.
