Not only are there a lot of subliminal messages in Disney films, there is also a lot of racism.
In Dumbo, the main black crows name is Jim Crow and all of his followers have speech and mannerisms that depict African-Americans. Sebastian in The Little Mermaid has a Jamaican accent and sings about how life is easy when you don’t have many responsibilities. Many people think this was a jab at Jamaicans for being lazy. The alley cats in the Aristocats are all foreign. There’s a Chinese cat, a Russian cat, and a womanizing Italian cat. The Native Americans in Peter pan all sing about how the Native Americans received their complexion. The Siamese cats in The Lady and Tramp are named Si and Am and resemble the typical Asian stereotype with slanted eyes and buck teeth. The apes in The Jungle Book have British English accents, talk in jive, and sing like Louie Armstrong. There were plenty of Arab stereotypes in Aladdin especially in the beginning of the song where they are labeled as barbaric and will cut your ear off if they don’t like your face. The hyenas in The Lion King were looked down upon by the lions. They also lived in the elephant graveyard which seemed to represent the ghetto. In Pocahontas, the Native Americans were either seen as ruthless savages, or noble savages. Disney was being progressive when they had their first black princess in The Princess and the Frog. Fans were outraged at the fact that the Prince’s race was a little ambiguous. Well, what did you think of this list?

[@sydnisanders512]

at the same time, though, a lot of people were bothered by the fact that instead of Disney finally having a black prince, they have a foreign prince, who is of different ethnicity. people in the black community felt that it was somehow representing an idea that black men weren't good enough, or couldn't be in a high position of power. for me though, I always saw Naveen as being handsome, and even so, being a black girl, I look at him no differently than how I did when I was 4-5 years old.

So let me get this straight, when the characters talk like stereotypes it's bad and racist, but when the prince in Princess and the Frog doesn't talk like one, that's also bad, because he should have talked like a black stereotype?? He's probably not even black, it's kind of racist to assume brown = black, and if there is a problem he's not black, that is another racial stereotype (that black people are against interracial dating) that's not so good.

(If anyone started saying shang hai hong kong eggfooyung in my face I will not hesitate to proceed to punch them.)

[@pitterpatter4303]

The Sebastian one seems ridiculous. When you analyze him as a character, he actually displays himself to be an incredibly hard worker and loyal servant to the king. He arranges ceremonies, shows up on time, and puts in a lot of effort to make things go smoothly. The 'subtext' that people claim is in the song isn't even meant to show any of Sebastian's character, but more likely his way of persuading and influencing Ariel into being more optimistic about her current life. I can't think of anyone that would listen to Under The Sea (that wasn't looking for triggers) and decide the song promoted laziness.

[@hayleybartek8643]

Sebastian: "Avoid the surface world, you won't like it." *goes to surface world after Ariel who can't keep it in her pants* Sebastian: watches fish and crabs get mutilated and boiled. But it's about laziness? And because some fish have fat lips? You ever even looked at a fish? Lots of them have big, ugly mugs.

You basically just said "accents and character representation are both racist." As someone who grew up watching these, I don't believe all arabs are barbaric thanks to Aladdin.

[@trowa9960]

I think it’s a stretch for Sebastian. Sure he sings a song about life being easier under the sea, but all of his actions throughout the movie contradict any assumption he is lazy. He was first a distinguished music composer, that should infer he practiced and worked hard, but also we just see him constantly working and trying to save Ariel.

[@yderga8707]

I think the whole "jamaican crab" thing is a heavy coincidence. He was the hardest working character in the movie 😅.

[@yderga8707]

@@kujo7912 or its called acting, and at least he's black. Is it still a charicature when Leonardo Di Caprio imitated a southern accent or David Harbour imitated a Russian accident for a movie?

He's also a high ranking government official, so everything he told Ariel was classic propaganda. Ariel knows firsthand how brutal the ocean is. That's why she wasn't convinced by Sebastian's song, even if she did enjoy it.

[@carrotface9090]

I feel like all the things you said 'are 'racist'' are actually ''opposites'' to me. Tinted eyes, accents, all these things are great and they're mostly animal characters. They literally made diversity with different races without using colors or etc. Black people do have thick lips, that's not racist, that's a black character representation. Most main characters are ''white'' could've been racist or they never make women characters ugly would've been sexist but even those are not true. Disney as a corporation has many flaws and some executives are known to be quite racist even today but the end result is actually not all that racist. I think it's not ''diverse'' enough.

[@CitrusPolarBear]

But two thirds of the hyena cast were white... And the archetype of the animal was fitting, since hyenas like to stalk lion prides and sneak away the pride's kill.

[@liliebilie]

I disagree with the Lion King and the treatment of the hyenas being racist. I’m of East African descent and my dad would always tell us fairy tales from our culture. There were quite a few with hyenas involved and they were always portrayed as untrustworthy and hated by the other animals. Since the Lion King is also set in East Africa maybe Disney just did their research. Edit: I think it’s funny ppl are replying to this 3 years later. I still stand by my most of what I said BUT I do think it’s weird that they chose 3 black actors to portray the underclass of hyenas. That part is definitely sus (and also the lines they have in the script) but the hyenas being hated on within the story is accurate to the local folklore of the setting. Do I think Disney did their research? Not really. I think it’s more a coincidence than anything. 90s Disney didn’t really care about portraying other cultures accurately like current Disney does (i.e. Coco and Encanto were really well done).

[@ellissabetta5909]

Yeah, it was more about how hyenas are viewed in most African cultures as evil, mischievous and unwanted while lions are often revered and looked up to. That one was definitely a stretch

My dad grew up in Arabia and he has never complained about Aladdin. Most of these really just seem like you’re grasping at straws and finding any possible excuse to be offended.

[@iRinnda]

I was never disturbed by the original opening lyrics in Aladdin, because even as a kid, I interpreted that the movie took place in a mythical, ANCIENT Arabic country. As such, I wouldn't be surprised if the characters living in that realm felt suspicious of outsiders. All communities in history behaved that way towards strangers, it's nothing new. As a person of Nordic origin, I'm not offended that vikings and people from north are often characterized as meatheaded, drunk or violent, because that's the way many "outsiders" saw us in history, and human race tends to remember and take notice in negative traits more easily.

[@marisafernandes9259]

I watched these movies when I was a kid in the '60s and '70s and they were all dubbed into Spanish and the themes of the songs had been changed, so I did not feel any stereotyping. Later on, in the '80s and '90s, I continued to watch them in English but I consider them to be a sign of the times they were made.

Calling "The Little Mermaid" racist is a huge stretch. First of all, the "subliminal messaging" claim is bullshit: it's just a tower, and it's just a pant fold, artists aren't cramming penises in art to brainwash kids. Secondly, cartoons exaggerate characters or use stereotypes because many cartoons are meant to be funny. Lumiere is a stereotype of a French person, and I don't see any hoopla raised over his characterization Sebastian only obvious Jamaican trait is his accent. Thirdly: many fishes have "big lips",like groupers for instance.
