@Doomflower Oh my gosh...let's also blame Disney for the Nazi's, the Vietnam war and cancer!

@AndrewtheAlu Hans Christian Anderson you mean?
You realize that Disney took all that shit and made it popular by bastardizing the stories. Disney movies have happy endings. HCA often doesn't.

@Doomflower Seriously. Why do people hate Disney so much. The man had brains. .he used them.
Now I do have one beef with Disney and that is due to the copyright bs they created in order to copyright Mickey Mouse.
But...people act like they are the root of all evil.
We have taken old stories and recreated our own versions for ages upon ages..why is that somehow wrong?
Serious question. Very curious.

@JaggedLittlePill yeah so did Rasputin. He had brains. So does every crime boss. Doesn't mean they are good. If anything intellect appears to predispose some towards evil. However I was talking about Disney as a huge corporate entity, not the man.
And I don't think they are the root of all evil but it is absolutely undeniable the effect they have on children and their expectations.
The messages are clear.
One of the clearest is this:
Ugly people are bad or did something to deserve a curse of ugly. Being pretty = good unless you are a witch who can change her appearance at will and some like Maleficent and Mad Madam Mim are monsters in their true forms.
Beauty and the beast the beast only turns handsome after being ugly cursed (well ugly for a human and more so in the actual story); the princess and the frog is a similar story.
Name me an ugly Disney protagonist who was under no curse of ugly and/or was born ugly and did not get changed to a handsome/beautiful version by the end of the movie.

@AndrewtheAlu he wasn't in the original either. Of course he was named Kye and he wasn't an ice harvester but rather a boy who was essentially kidnapped by the snow queen after getting a shard of the mirror into his eye.

@Doomflower I laughed out loud with the Hans Christian Anderson comment!
