The new Disney adaptation of the evergreen children's story is
being panned by reviewers all over the internet as woke trash, that further tarnishes the Disney brand. It currently has a 20% favoarable rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Released direct to cable, it seems some in corporate knew enough than to release it to theaters, so it could suffer it's ignominy in relative privacy. Choosing to update the cultural aesthetic to 21st c norms, while keeping the Edwardian setting of the original book, all it succeeds at doing is creating a cringe-fest that makes you feel embarassed for everyone involved.

 Why does it have to be a remake? Why not just fill in the gap between or after the following. Even a story before the before.

 Disney still thinks remakes are worth doing.
 -or-
 Disney is suffering from a total lack of imagination

Neither of those is unique to just Disney. About 90% of lazy-ass Hollyweird suffers from those same things too.  :-(
