They also neutered the political messaging of the film - the themes around tourism and how that affects native Hawaiians. Really wish that they had left this scene in the original animated movie.
It’s just so gross, like an attempt to be faux progressive by shipping Nani off to college. Like I am Team Women in STEM - but, this is also playing into the fucked up history of indigenous people having their children removed by the state for bullshit and racist reasons. Especially when ICWA is not something 47 gives a rats ass about.
Also, if they really had to have Nani go to college, the University of Hawaii has one of the best marine biology programs in the world because of natural geography. Nani and Lilo could have stayed together, and just gotten a little help from the neighbor / relative.....
Never saw that deleted scene, but yeah. They should have left it in.
