Nowadays almost all the big film production companies are starting to include people from unrepresented – groups like Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, Muslims and people with disabilities and this is something very important because it lets people see how the real world is and how important is to have diversity not only in the film industry but in every place and accept each other as we are.

Do you know that back in 2019 only 34% of the speaking characters were women or girls, one third of the movies did not include any black-identifying character, there was over 70 movies with not a single Latina on it and there was less than 2.5% people with disabilities with a speaking role?

Also, things started to improve after 2015 when people started to realized that there was only white people nominated for the 20 acting categories for the Academy Awards.

I think is very important to include everyone in this industry, everyone has the right to work, to show their talent but also the audience from every world should be able to identify with amazing characters. Recently the Walt Disney Company released the trailer for their new live action “The little Mermaid” starring Halle Bailey, and many girls were so excited and happy to se that they look like the new little mermaid, here is a cute video were you can see some of this little girls:

I am a Latina actress with an accent, when I started my acting career many teachers told me I need to get rid of my accent or I would never make it in the film industry, now that I start to see diversity it gives me hopes for me as a Latina too.

I hope Hollywood and all this film production industries keep doing great including people from diverse backgrounds in any kind of movie, not matter what the animation version was, at the end of the day we have been progressing and it’s amazing that Hollywood is showing that too.
