A student has slammed classic Disney films for being 'horrendously outdated and offensive', claiming that the Jungle Book character King Louie is racist and that many of the animations have 'not aged well'.
Lauren Robertson re-watched 11 Disney favourites - accusing most of them of 'portraying racist and exaggerated stereotypes'.
The student, who studies languages at Aberdeen University, branded films such as Dumbo, The Lady and the Tramp and The Little Mermaid as 'dodgy'.
Addressing The Jungle Book, from 1967, Lauren, who is originally from Dunblane said: 'Remember King Louie the orangutan?

Let's just go full "Khmer Rouge" and go to "Year Zero".
“Man’s red fire”, not white man’s fire
Next they’ll say we should ban Pinocchio for saying over & over & over there’s something special about being a “real boy” instead of fake boy. :)
For anyone, ANYONE to take such a position automatically classifies their character as questionable. Who TF does she think she is? Five bucks says that she’s got skeletons in her closet that people like me would like to see exposed and let this chick get a real good whiff of her own sht. Would do her some good methinks. Ah...never-mind. Shes a UK student. Thats all I needed to hear.
From "Li'l Abner" April 24 1966:
What about the billions of other people in the world?
Lauren thinks the world revolves around her.

Well, thats her problem right there. She should have stopped watching as soon as she saw something she didnt like. Its like me with the TV show Two and a Half Men. I didnt like it. So I just stopped watching it. Pretty simple.
Oh, wait. I forgot. Thats not how liberals operate. If they dont like it, it must condemned and banned.
“offensive”
Well, she offends me. Why are her feelings more important than mine? Is she royalty?
“Lauren Robertson re-watched 11 Disney favourites - accusing most of them of ‘portraying racist and exaggerated stereotypes’.”
Wow! She must have attended AOC University and got a degree in “A little Education Allows You to Govern the World”.
Well I guess if that's all you got.
Funny, as a kid back in the 50’s, I always watched them for entertainment. I love Siamese cats and pi$$ed they removed a memorable segment from the remake.

“outdated
People who actually use that term should be flogged. Mercilessly.”
Good point. How can you out date history? Things like that happened, learn from it while you recognizing what it taught. You can’t form the future without recognizing the past for what it was.

Wait until snowflake Lauren sees Song of the South.
Poor kid will probably need therapy.
Freepers, we are in a post-New Left world. As ridiculous as this young person sounds, 40 years ago, her idol Hillary Clinton was fired from the Democrat run Watergate Committee for egregious lying and unconstitutional behavior! It was unthinkable back then that Hillary would become the political leader of a quasi-government run coup d’etat to overthrow an election.
I think Terri and Lauren are gal-pals...
Great catch!
Weren’t there some animal characters that were supposed to be The Beatles, too? Maybe it’s racism against Brits? Or rock music? Or shaggy hair cuts?
