Yes, basically. The witch is presented in this version as the victim of a propaganda campaign because she decided to resist the Wizard's regime due to his oppression against the animals. Part II gets even more wild. Strap in.
I know Tolkien catches a lot of flack for Dwarves = Jews, but as a Jew I actually like that Tolkien changed dwarves from characitures into a real people with a deeply felt and rooted history in Middle Earth with valid grievances.
The fact that you went with making fun of dead kids in reaction to a joke about food speaks volumes. Getting triggered by an innocuous joke reeks of insecurity. Your country is turning into an irrelevant backwater where people can't even pay for heating and you know it. Sad.
