In the Disney version would Inara still be a space hooker? And what's with Book? ... And River as a little girl?

Like I wrote, Disney is good at "cute", Firefly is not cute.

Not seeing the connection. Are you maybe speaking of cartoons of that era ? And not Scooby-Doo specifically?
Even so, I'm still struggling to understand.
Is more about the ausence of black carachters in that era, is allways animals and white people. Ok, reflects another world, another time. But is good to see how the tings are changing(and is one fof the reasons I love firefly, break with all the stereotypes(strong women, or a proposital male sex-symbol, for example).
So, not so much 'racist' as it is excluding and aimed at a specific target audience ?
I guess. But that isn't so much racism.
Guess you're less a fan of Disney's Song of the South, huh?

Meh, Firefly can be considered racist as well.
In a 'Verse that has a major Chinese population, how many Asian characters were there?
As far as the Disney style goes, I don't like it.
As said before, Firefly ain't cute.
And that pic is definitely cute.

Well, I didn't know that film. The wikipedia says the film was lauched directly in VHS here in Brazil, small distribution.
Auraptor, about the Chinese question, I think Joss could "redeem" himself a little bit with Better Days...

Quote:Put River in a spacesuit for the cartoon. That makes her recognizable. She wears it all the time, even to bed, because there's a vacuum outside. What do you expect from a crazy in a 'toon?

I wasn't the one who brought up the 'Chinese question', but it remains the ever present elephant in the room. So strongly is the culture of the future 'verse influenced that everyone speaks and writes at least some form of Chinese, but not one major or minor Chinese character appears anywhere in the t.v. series or the BDM.
Now, we all know Joss well enough that , given time, he'd have introduced more than a token Chinese cast member. But it just comes off as looking strange to see such a glaring absence of 'diversity'.
