This week there has been a big blow up over Disney including "inappropriate content" in a recent cartoon and in an upcoming movie. Frankly, this concern and protest is over 70 years too late.
Perhaps the first really disturbing cartoon that Disney produced was Fantasia, his third feature length animation. It included a lot of animation set to well known pieces of music and was perhaps most famous for the Mickey Mouse short of The Sorcerer's Apprentice which was included. But there were many other things in this cartoon - sorcery, magic (some of it being extremely powerful), nudity to various degrees (including full upper body nudity of "female centaurs"), mythical creatures from heathen religions, a nature "goddess", various "spirits" and devils, people apparently falling into hell, and more. And that isn't even mentioning some of the suggestively sexual incidents. Altogether it is a grotesques and very evil presentation.
Fantasia was released in 1940. You read that correctly - 1940.
A very interesting article that opens up a lot of windows. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Thanks for reading and commenting. I do appreciate it.
DeleteMany good points! I knew none of this stuff about Disney (and the entertainment industry in general) growing up. I am glad that I have been educated before I had children. Now I know what to protect my son against.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I appreciate that you took the time to read and comment. Some subjects are more difficult to deal with than others.
DeleteI agree with you about Disney however, there is so much materials shown in Hollywood media that to me is anti-Christian. Like Harry Potter and just the way actors and actresses interact on the stage.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is certainly much wrong with Hollywood! I agree with you on that!
