Former Disneyland employees have a name for the place: Mouseschwitz. Nuff said.

Good article. And may I add that the whole Disney enterprise is oriented towards one thing: making money. Their crowded, overpriced, gay-friendly theme parks are designed to separate tourists from as much of their money as possible. Disney relies on its old image as a wholesome, family friendly business but it is really no such thing.

“Because she’s Disney,” Kristin said simply.

I entirely agree that there is a problem with Disney these days, but the young women listed did not become “trampy” because of Disney. They apparently became “trampy” because Hollywood in general, their own poorly led families and their desire to “break out” of the Disney goody-goody stereotype they felt smoothered by.

The simple fact is that many of our young “empowered” women in this culture are tramps in training.

Disney owns ABC, if you really want to see how bad they’ve fallen just watch the ABC Family Channel for a while.

I would never let my kids watch most of the shows on that station, and they push how family oriented it is.

I will have to disagree with you here. Disney are the ones having these young people act like tramps and, in many cases, actually making them into tramps. Hollywood is guilty also but Disney must take the blame for their own child "stars".

When Walt was alive the Disney children, such as the original Mouseketeers, had to adhere to a strict code and they all turned out the better for it. Have you ever seen Annette Funicello whoring around, for instance? Not to mention the myriad others that came up under Walt's guidance. The decline of Disney started almost as soon as Walt died at the young age of 58 and the country has been the poorer for it.

I like the Plugged In site for movie reviews but I think Screenit is even better.

Disney was infiltrated by radial gays with an agenda to destroy it by way of perversion and by twisting the plot lines to glorify the bad and belittle the good.

Yup, 25 years ago, Mickey was drugged, gang raped by transvestites. Minnie was drugged, tattooed, thrown into a dark room with several lezbos that had their way with her.

Then they both were made to slave out money to support the gays and lezbos living on the gubmint dole citing by the 'diversity' rulers of the company that it was all in the family's best interests. Family fun, ya know....

My daughter can't stand to watch any of those characters in Disney's magical whorehouse. She's into animals and wants to pursue a career working with them (we'll see where that goes, but encourage hard work towards it.)

Either way it's reassuring.

...and they push how family oriented it is.

The tip off is their slogan: "ABC Family Channel, a different kind of family."

It's 86'd at our house, too.

What is Hillary Duff up to these days? She's a former disneyite who has apparently avoided the sleaze factor...or is at least cruising under the radar.

You wrote:

Okay, but how exactly? Where’s the cause and effect?

“Have you ever seen Annette Funicello whoring around, for instance?”

No, but then again who - in any role in life - acted that way in the 1950s and 1960s when they were only teenagers and twenty-somethings? Today our whole culture is messed up.

“The decline of Disney started almost as soon as Walt died at the young age of 58 and the country has been the poorer for it.”

I agree with you entirely on that point.

Even Tinkerbelle looks more and more like Barbara Eden, but that’s not so bad, is it?

I was never really attracted to Tinkerbelle, but that’s just me.
