Disney

I have always been a sucker for animated movies, especially ones that are aimed for a younger audience. I don't know what it is, but they are just fun and entertaining to watch, especially Disney. Disney World isn't called "the happiest place on earth" without any reason. My personal favorite Disney movies were Pinocchio, Lion King, Aladdin, and Fox and the Hound. Giroux argues that the Disney corporation has these hidden messages through each movie. Aladdin is racist through the voices of the villains having accents, while Aladdin, Jasmin, and the Genie all have American sounding voices. Other movies are sexist because men play a considerably more dominant role in the movies compared to the women. Also, there are numerous times where the word "sex" can be seen on screen. Do I agree these things are in the Disney movies and these kinds of things are wrong to be in a movie made for kids? Yes I do agree they are there and that they are wrong, but seriously you can only find this stuff if you are looking for it. I have seen Lion King many times and the only time I've seen the word sex is when you slow down the picture. If you do not look for these things, the magic of Disney movies remains to all kids and prior generations. Regardless of what Giroux says about how the films are racist and sexist I will always enjoy them because the clear meanings of the films are what is most important, not the hidden messages.
