Imagine what would have happened in Europe in the 20th century if we had not had such a thing - not to mention the cultural benefits to a lot of the world and ourselves (Hong Kong will hopefully have a good influence on China in the years to come, India runs a democracy with 1billion people and we have pretty good links across the globe). In the long run I think it will have done more good than bad for the world, plus would you have rather left it to the Dutch/French/Portuguese/Spanish?

Um...Scotland is part of the mainland UK, which also includes England.

Fun fact. 15 years before this version of "The King and I" came out, Miranda Richardson, who voices Anna, starred in a mini-series titled "A Woman of Substance." Her character's mother was played by none other than Deborah Kerr, who played Anna in the original 1956 version. In other words, there's a remote possibility that Deborah Kerr watched this animated atrocity out of curiosity to see how her on-screen daughter fared as Anna. Could you imagine her reaction?

Huh. Well, of course I had to do research on King Mongkut after NC said those things about historical inaccuracy, and...I don't think I care for Anna. Mongkut had already been big on Western culture AND human rights before she even came to town. He wouldn't have whipped that one woman, because he'd already allowed any concubines who wanted to leave and find love to do so. He also abolished forced marriages, meaning the women had just as much say as men. Hell, the man was a monk for twenty years after his right to be king had been stolen by popular vote of a bunch of nobles to some concubine's kid, not wanting to cause trouble by fighting for it. He established a new denomination of Buddhism. He learned English well, as did his brother, who he made Second King. He was a genius astronomer and not shabby with geography either, as he had claimed to know the earth was round years before the British teachers said so. He was super tolerant of English merchants in a time where it was not popular to be so. He had England on his side to fight for the throne, and would have won easily should it have come to that, as the previous king died before it did. Yeah, this guy was pretty accomplished, and definitely no brute. Then there's his son, Chulalongkorn, who succeeded him after he died. Chulalongkorn is who the eldest boy in the movie is supposed to be, and he was just as amazing as his dad, beloved by the Thailand people to this day. He did quite a few interesting things, but this is turning into an essay, so I'll cut to the chase. He abolished slavery. Not in some stupid way either, like "Welp, it's now illegal to have you here, so even though you don't have a house or even the shadow of a chance of getting a job, I don't want to pay you, so get off my lawn." He lessened the amount of time required to pay off a debt through labor, which was what their slavery was based on (commoners selling themselves to slavery was a normal thing), and gave them plenty of time to find alternate ways of living. You know why he did this? Because of news of the American Civil War and it's bloodshed. He knew the commoners were dissatisfied and didn't want a rebellion, especially since slavery was already obsolete after opening trade with other countries and lessening taxes on foreigners. Jobs and land were plenty. I'm digressing. You know who took credit for this? Frickin' Anna. In her book, she claims having him read Uncle Tom's Cabin influenced him into doing that. Mighty presumptuous of her, if you ask me. I'm Ichigoeater, and I research it so you don't have to! Uh...but maybe do it anyway. Different sources might say different things, so double check me if you like...or care...It's 5 in the morning. I'm going to bed now. Bye.

There's something off about the Rankin/Bass+Warner bros animation. You can see how gorgeous the animation in Swan Princess, Quest for Camelot, and Iron Giant are just by looking at them. Rankin and Bass have actually made a gorgeous movie before in The Last Unicorn(fun fact, Topcraft, whoch worked with them on TLU later disolved and a lot of the animators joined Ghibli as it was starting up) but combine Rankin/Bass' stilted animation style with the art design of Warner Bros and it makes for an unescessarily uncanny film. I do not like looking at this movie lol

@vinylfan9957

6 ай бұрын

Neither Warner Bros. nor Rankin/Bass animated this film in-house. Like the bulk of Rankin/Bass’s films, they outsourced the animation. In this case they outsourced it to Rich Animation Studios (founded by Richard Rich, who directed this film as well as The Swan Princess and The Fox And The Hound, which you coincidentally already mentioned) as well as a few smaller studios. Also, Warner Bros. didn’t technically produce this film, they only had the distribution rights as part of Morgan Creek Entertainment’s (one of the actual producers of this film) distribution deal with them.

I was amazed at how good the russell crowe imitation was. Well done

Pretty much the only animated films off the top of my, that tackled classic stories/historical periods with adult subject matter and left it mostly intact, were Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and Dreamworks' "The Prince of Egypt." Almost every other film either watered the material down so much that it exclusively appeals to kids, or changed it completely.

Mark Cobuzzi the hunchback of Notre Dame was pretty close but the end was waaay darker in the original. But I loved the Prince of Egypt. In my opinion it is so underrated. The songs and animation were so stunning.

I like the play better :) It was clever, the actors were amazing and it was fast paced unlike the old musical which dragged. They had a tonne of kids, like it was about 20! The sets were fantastic, and the costumes were amazing. This felt kinda offensive, the plot of the King and I was about how the english thought other nations were primitive no matter the social standing because they didn't understand their customs. It was coming of age story for a nation and for the son, who didn't fall in love with the servant but was afraid to take over for his father because he was a 'great man'. This story highlighted how different Europe and Asia was and people must give and take to make settlers feel welcome and settlers must accept customs in a land they are moving too (in the adaptation the King and I) the original novel was.....well it was written for a time.

The map doesn't quite make sense. Like if we are taking about England as in one of the divisions of the UK, yes its smaller than Siam aka Thailand. But the whole of the UK of Britain (and Ireland which didn't leave until 1920, years after the story is set in) I believe is either almost the same size or bigger than Siam aka Thailand I believe (maybe by area). It sure was if you count the empire it had at the time. That's only the tip of the iceberg on how messed up that map is and inaccurate.

Why is "England" on that map the British Isles? It doesn't even make sense of the British Empire is meant, since at the time that would have been much, much bigger than Siam. ...also The Little Mermaid is not English. (Of course, this episode was made before Disney got its hands on Andersen's *other* book...)
