Disney has become the evil empire.
Because Disney is... e-vil.
LOL...you must either be from Louisiana or have connections there. Most folks have no idea what a nutria is, even.
Great simile!
Yup...I call'em "Bambi rats". Deer probably kill more humans than any other animal, just by walking across the road "without looking both ways".
My wife has two deer strikes and a whole bunch of insurance repair claims to her "credit". I came within a tail hair of hitting a huge 8 pointer. Driving to work pre-dawn, totally unsuspecting and literally out of nowhere there is this huge buck in my headlights. I didn't even have time to move my foot from accelerator to brake. Fortunately, for both of us, the deer took another jump and got out of the way. I still believe I clipped hairs off his tail with my right fender.
More than a million car-deer accidents and a hundred human deaths from them every year.
Disney Pedophile, Lesbian, Transgender, same sex haven. Is a good reason to avoid them.
Disgust is not fear.
You are on to something BIG with this comment.
The SJW as with Communists are again changing the definitions in order to manipulate the minds of the people. They wish to dishonestly heap guilt upon those who are not pleased with the acts of the vulgar, self-centered, indulgent, hedonistic behavior which the producers want to practice and promote with impunity.
They’ve done it quite effectively, for example, with creating the term “homophobe” where in the contexts of discussion the correct word usage is “one who is (rightly) disgusted with and up in arms about Sodomy and the very real harm that it does to individuals and the community as a whole and the honor of God’s name”.
They need to be totally exposed and defeated in this diabolical practice of deception in speech.
Well, to be fair, Bambi was originally written by an Austrian author during post World War I period. All Disney did was adapt it. You want to blame anyone for the current mess of how humans are responding to the animal kingdom, blame Felix Salten and Ullstein Verlag, not to mention Whittaker Chambers for providing an English translation of that book in 1928.
Besides, at least Disney’s Bambi actually was ahead of its time in refuting the garbage pseudoscientific statement of Animal Homosexuality, so it’s got good there (look at Flower: an effeminate skunk, yet evidently aroused by a female skunk and became a father).
The Little Mermaid actually is probably close to actually being good, having a very neat refutation of feminism, promoting marriage, and also treating environmentalist thought as being wrong ultimately. Also helps that it gives a very good contrast between those who stay true to their word and those who cheat to get ahead, so if you’re willing to take exceptions, I can suggest TLM for that. Maybe also The Lion King. Both movies definitely are listed under Greatest Conservative Movies on Conservapedia, at least, and not under debatable whether conservative. And the TV show for the former retains the more pro-family elements.
Nepotism doesn’t just relate to biological family members. It can also just mean hiring those of your own politics, of your own race, heck, of your own gender and/or sexual orientation at the expense of all others.
As far as your point about IQ, that only means they’re good at communication. Here’s a secret for you: IQ tests don’t actually prove one’s intelligence, they only prove one’s ability to communicate. Even a Valley Girl stereotype can get a high IQ just by communicating well. I’d know because the person who did the IQ testing on me in Middle School and gave me a higher grade than before told my father this, as he had long been confused as to how I could rank fairly low in IQ despite actually demonstrating a lot of intelligence. And as another person pointed out, their having a 10-point IQ advantage didn’t save Disney from making stinkers of films lately, or it making grossly bad decisions (and I’d argue the rot started during the 1990s).
Yeah, and besides, unlike with, say, the stunt they pulled on Hikaru Sulu for Star Trek Beyond or even the whole situation with LeFou in Beauty and the Beast, no one in the production staff actually indicated anything about the scene promoting homosexuality. Unless it comes directly from the Mouse’s mouth, we can’t assume they’re trying to push gay marriage. And I’m speaking as someone who is utterly disgusted at how Disney is currently doubling down on pushing homosexuality in various programs. There was far more of a hint at pushing homosexuality in The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Hugo and Djali than what I could gather from Toy Story 4 which could literally mean anything (like an aunt staying with the mom for a week, or her nanny deciding to accompany the mom to pick up the latter’s child, or anything like that. Heck, possibly even a family friend coming in to help.).
If anything, we should be more outraged over how they needlessly changed Ariel thanks to Lin Manuel Miranda helming the remake.
In the book, Pinocchio smashes the talking cricket with a hammer in the first 20 pages.
On Ariel..I get everyone's concern about the intent and loyalty to the original. For example, the new 007 is supposed to be female. But in that case, the original character was a guy and decidedly so. Is Ariel's race mission-critical to the story (The Little Mermaid wasn't popular in the DoodleBob home). If not, why the hubbub? For example, I wrote elsewhere that I saw a theater production of the life of Jesus where the actor playing St. John the Apostle was black. There was nobody protesting, there were no Tweetstorms, and the attendance at the performances was strong.
Could it be the issue with Ariel isn't race as much as it is about fear over content? I wouldn't care if John Galt was black in the movie. For me, the story of Atlas Shrugged doesn't hinge on the race of the main character. Now, if movie Galt was a SJW who didn't smoke I'd be PEEVED. In turn, if remake Ariel makes everything about global warming and pollution...
So they did the translation from the original Austrian? < /Obama>
Look, Pixar might in fact be trying to push a gay agenda, I don’t know. If they are, they’re certainly not announcing it.
As far as Ariel, here’s the problem: Aside from it originally being a Danish fairy tale, and how even the animated Disney version implies that it was located around Scandinavia due to Eric’s Flowerhaven remark, there’s the simple fact that it’s impossible for Ariel to have even a slight tan due to spending most of her life up to the time of the film underwater, having small instances of surfacing at best, let alone fully dark skin. It would make absolutely no sense to have her be black. Especially not when Scuttle’s entire species was changed from a Seagull to a Diving Bird to give him, or her in this case thanks to changing his gender, more scenes with them underwater which effectively implies that Ariel’s going to spend even LESS time at the surface than before. I’m not going to bother talking about Life of Jesus since theater’s its own issue. It also doesn’t help that the situation with Ariel reeks of the kind of SJW elements that plagued Hamilton (unsurprising, due to Lin Manuel Miranda not only helming both productions, but in the case of Hamilton barred whites from playing any role in the play).
Yeah, they did. In fact, they did so in 1928. Whittaker Chambers even played a role in the translation, as did Simon & Schuster, the guys who published it.
"C'era una volta un pezzo di legno." (once upon a time there was a piece of wood)
Yes, well, as these neo-Puritan SJWs keep telling us, nobody was good, all were dreadful, and nothing has improved, or will improve.
So, whaddayah gonna do? I’ll take large automobile and a side of Mickey Mouse, thank you very much.
As for the story of Jesus to which I referred, this wasn't some lefty off-Broadway hootenanny. It was at Sight & Sound Studios. Again, whether or not St. John the Apostle was black or not isn't spelled out in Scripture and it isn't germane to the story of Salvation. For me, it is telling that there aren't protests in Lancaster.
