Disney Thread

[Russian Socialist Soviet States]

Disney usually makes leftist propaganda.

Not true but what does that have to do with anything?

The Angels movie is the exception.

No.

Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The Little Mermaid...are all not leftist in the slightest...scratch that...NO Disney movie is leftist in the slightest. Some are more feminist than others, and if you're opposed to that, I couldn't care less about your feelings.

No it isn't and what does that have to do with anything?

Walt would be very disappointed in his company today.

Well, if Walt didn't like a multi billion dollar media empire, he'd be a moron.

Frozen

Marx is never mentioned, neither is Ricardo or Lenin, there is clearly aristocracy, and no communist symbolism.

Seriously, where the hell did you get that idea? That has no basis in reality. Please...take the red pill.

Rightfully so, he's an ambitious asshole.

I don't understand USSS's argument. In one post he/she says Disney produces leftest propaganda which is completely false (Walt was a conservative) and in another post he/she says he was an anti-communist which is a fair statement. I haven't seen Frozen so I don't know what the issue is there. Other than the disagreement that "Angels in the Outfield" was a good movie I don't understand the disagreement.

Here is a link that explains Walt's political views pretty well if there is some confusion.

Also, Bearon, even though you are not a Mod, it is fair to ask that the politics of Disney be kept to a minimum in this thread. Disney did do some animation that could be viewed as political, but this thread was not posted in the General Forum so posts should be kept focused on the work & future works of Disney, not politics. Just a suggestion.

Edit: In other words if some tries to turn the discussion into a political one, & they will not stop when asked, you may have a reasonable threadjacking compliant.

I actually didn't know Robin Williams played the Genie in the movie. Don't follow his work much, but RIP.

His voice is very recognizable. Honestly I'm kind of at a loss he was my childhood hero. He played Peter Pan in Hook.
