Disney's Hypocrisy

It was the only one I could think of and I have seen every Disney movie at least 3 times with my kids.

Don’t forget, High School Musical had two parents in it. Unfortunately, the barf factor was way to high to watch. It has been banned from my house.

have always called Disney the “All Orphan Network”

You can never watch a Disney movie (even the old ones) that doesen’t have a storyline either void of parents, parents killed, or parents evil as part of the main plot.

Try thinking of one?

Well, sometimes the dad is around. I seem to recall the Little Mermaid and Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" had fathers. I think the princess in Aladdin had a father, too. Not sure what Disney's got against moms!

How about Peter Pan? The Darlings are good responsible parents even though it did not seem that way to the kids.

Pinocchio? Geppetto is nothing if not the kindly parent.

Swiss Family Robinson? Happily married, heterosexual, couple defending their children.

1001 Dalmatians? Both humans and dogs come off as good eggs.

All over a 100 years old, too. Disney also openly and blatantly promotes homosexuality on their ABC network, both in daytime and primetime. It’s not implied , open kissing and simulated sex scenes.

I bet old Walt is turning in the ice box they keep him in.

I will say two good things on Disney's behalf.
1. The cast members are superbly trained at handling children found without parents. Our two year old (now 14) managed to get away from us four times in one day (twice in the same building). All four times a Disney cast member had already found her and gotten her out into an open area where one of us could easily spot her.

2. They are sticklers for accuracy. We were at Disney/MGM watching the Pocahontas show shortly after the movie was released. When the English came on stage, I leaned over to a nearby cast member and remarked, "You know that the English are carrying the wrong flag." She turned to me and asked what I meant. I explained that the red cross of St. Patrick wasn't added until 1801, about 200 years after the events in the play. When we came back the next day, they were using the correct flag. I also understand that they corrected the movie.

Oh, c’mon. That’s ‘cause you can’t have adventures when mom’s around.

There was one show, however, that irritated me not a little. It was a movie billed as the “Circle of Life-an Environmental Tale”....

If that bothered you make damn sure you don’t go on gay-day wearing anything red.....

I know I’d use .44MAG or a shotgun slug for the boar, but what would a .220 Swift round do to a Meerkat’s head?

[John 3_19-21]

All right you got me. I don’t think Disney is evil. I just think a lot of their story lines are a bit creepy.
