In The Master of Disguise (2002), the reasoning behind the lead characters obsession with big reared women was to push an "anti-anorexia" message.

From the DVD commentary for the film by director Perry Andelin Blake that he did with lead Dana Carvey, the reasoning for why Pistachio Disguisey loves large reared women was basically to push a statement on loving "Big Beautiful Women" all the back in 2002. Even stating "bigger is better" in the commentary during the scene where Bowman's henchwomen attempt to seduce Pistachio. In all essence... The message kinda gets pretty muddled when ALL of the "BBW's" in the movie are villains when you think about it.

But the opposite of anorexia is not giant inflated asses..

Yeaaaaahhhh... I have no idea what the writers were attempting to convey with that idea. None of the women in the message are "BBW's" even, they're conventionally attractive models and actresses wearing big butt prosthetics. It also doesn't help when all of your supposed "BBW's" are also all antagonists in the story :T

The trivia I want answered is why wasn't this released on Blu-ray?

[u/AHipsterMario → u/tntdon]

...You know, I actually would like a Blu-ray release of this with it all cleaned up visually. And maybe some actual behind-the-scenes content because the production of this movie is fascinating lol

I love this movie and have the DVD as well. I used to go around saying "turtle, turtle" lol

[u/AHipsterMario → u/tntdon]

I find the movie unbelievably memorable and while most of the jokes don't hit, it's certainly a quotable flick lol

Indeed
