Disney's got a new documentary coming out this summer. It's called America's Heart and Soul. You know what? It looks like a visually gorgeous movie with a happy, uplifting spirit. It follows several people from all walks of life who do extraordinary things in their own way.
My problem with it is that it comes out on the heels of the Fahrenheit 9/11 controversy, in which Disney decided not to release the Bush-bashing film. It almost seems like Disney said, "What? You've made an anti-Republican film? Well, we're gonna make a PRO-AMERICA film, since you're obviously ANTI-AMERICAN!"
I hate feeling this way, because if America's Heart and Soul was released 5 years ago, I'd think to myself, "How nice. A real family film that just seems to be about the goodness of humanity!" I still wouldn't go see it, but I'd have appreciated its existence. But now I'm tainted by the cynicism of our times. Here's the site for the trailer in case you care:
