Read MoreFrom the Dementors in “Harry Potter” (2009 onwards) to Gloreth’s Beast in “Nimona”(2023) to the black hands in “Bee and Puppycat” (Netflix version), I noticed the disproportionate use of black and darker-skinned characters /forms in animations to represent monsters/baddies/ villains.
The monster/baddie contrasts with the hero/goodie/s who is by contrast white/ light and/or lighter skinned (as in these examples).
I’m asking white/light-skinned/ non-Black artists (writers, filmmakers, animators) to broaden their “baddie colour palettes”.
