My mother won a Shirley Temple look-alike contest in the 1930s. The prize involved being flown out to Hollywood for a screen test. My grandmother wouldn't go along with it, because she thought Hollywood was too corrupt!

Yeah I would have to see specific scenes/script analysis to say red flag. I am with you for the most part but this isn’t as obvious as for instance Trolls, where the elites eat the trolls to become happy and the main baddie looks like an actual cartoon reproduction of Nathanial Rothschild.
