Beauty and the Beast: Downright violent. It also encourages women to read books and be smart. We can't have that. Belle should know her place. I mean, she clearly "asked" for being imprisoned by the beast for wandering off on her own to look for her father.
101 Dalmatians: One word: PETA.
Aladdin: Terrorist agenda creeping in to influence our good Christian children. That, and Aladdin is a thief. This is how common criminals are made. Good thing he didn't have guns. Did you hear them just say "Allah?!" THEY JUST SAID ALLAH!
Cinderella: Obviously a welfare queen who doesn't want to work.
Alice in Wonderland: Self explanatory.
Hercules: Encourages paganism.
Feel free to add.
Hunchback of Notre Dame: Because a member of the opposite sex will choose a hunchback nobody over a fairly decent looking, powerful person.

It also involves religion, I mean, he lives in a CHURCH.
The Little Mermaid: Bargains are for getting out of; you don't have to hold to your end of it if you're pretty.
All of these movies would be made today. Every last one of them.
Sounds like someone has been getting their daily dose of Facebook outrage.
Mary Poppins: Witchcraft and hallucinogens
Alice in Wonderland: Witchcraft and hallucinogens
Winnie the Pooh: Gay agenda and hallucinogens

Misread the title. I thought this was supposed to be a "what are the real messages of the films?" thing.

So we're just not going to mention "Song of the South" then?

That's okay. Pocahontas sort of made the rapey bits go away, they can sanitize anything.

Not really. I've been throwing on my Disney movies as background noise while I work as I late, and it's been at least 10 years since I've seen most of them and I've noticed stuff that totally sticks out that I just don't think would fly today without some sort of petition or outrage from one or more fringe mother groups.
Id have to contest the Aladin one. They already made everyone in that movie, except the bad guys, so white bread. Aladin himself sounds like a frat kid, and Jasmin being all "I am not a prize to blah blah." STFU AND BERKA YO ASS.
I dunno, generally Disney takes the bad shit and makes you think it ain't bad.
All those Grimms tales made so safe and sugary.

The fringe mother groups were at their absolute height in the 80s - 90s, when most of those films were made.

I was probably too young to notice, and had parents who really weren't bothered by it. Though my mom has told me that they dumbed down the version of 101 Dalmatians we got on tape, because she remembered different scenes from her youth. I mean, they dumbed down Mickey's Christmas Carol from the version we recorded off the Disney Channel in the 80s versus the one they play now. They cut out a fair amount of violence, either because of "sensitive content" or the fact that everything on TV nowadays is only 15 minutes long with 300 commercial breaks.

Aladdin is easily one of my faves (Watching it now and singing like a dork) and yes, Arabian Nights is far more violent than anything Disney can legit push out. It's just that someone would bitch that it involves Muslims, and they even say "Allah" and it would be on every fucking news station that this "new and controversial" movie "pushes buttons in the post-9-11 world."
If they did the Grimm's the way they were actually written, no kid would ever want to watch them. Ever. Shit, even most adults. :lulz:
I much prefer Lon Chaney's hunchback. He was pissed. :lol:
Wouldn't go back to the 20's though.

Eh, not really. I just feel like they're dumbing down shit. Though "Brave" was absolutely brilliant, even after they fired the writer.

Looking back, they've always been at the same intelligence level. No difference at all. Wait...Actually, I'd say
The Hunchback of Notre Dame gives kids far more credit for intelligence than did
Mary Poppins or
101 Dalmations, both of which were made 2 decades earlier.
Then maybe I'm just reading too much into this. It's just a fucking movie, and I should be working. Lol.
I dunno, maybe I need the nostalgia kick, and the new movies aren't doing it for some reason. :?
