My parents, and many parents I know, love the adult jokes in kids movies...it makes them tolerable when their kids asked them to watch the same movies over and over again lol The adults need SOMETHING to get through those movies we love.

Sometimes they even include adult jokes in other language's dubbed versions. For example, in "The Road to El Dorado", they have this dialogue: - You fight like my sister! - I've already fought with your sister, that's a compliment! In German, they changed it to: - You fight like my sister! - I've already fought with your sister, with my best sword! (!)

I'm just glad Tiana got to be a princess in the classic 2-D animation before Disney turned to 3-D.

[@carsfan1995]

Yes because animation medium is what’s important. Not the story, characters, or themes. No the single most important thing is that it’s 2D and evil 3D. Go donate to a Kickstarter if all you care about is 2D animation and donate to one of those art school brats’ projects and not think about the writing.

[@sixx_shooter0174]

@@carsfan1995 What I mean is that Disney basically rely on the 2-D animation for DECADES. 3-D was at the turn of a new century and the reason hand-drawn animated films by Disney died out was because they were becoming less profitable and popular as well as being too difficult to make. And Tiana was the last official princess to be in 2-D, along side with Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel, etc. Then Rapunzel became the 1st 3-D animated Disney princess. Sorry you didn't understand my saying.

[@carsfan1995]

1_CANT_X5CAPE Sorry. I just get frustrated with people’s style over substance mentality regarding 2D animation and how they want it back with thinking if it would actually make a movie better. Dude, you can make Foodfight, Boss Baby, and Rapsittie Street Kids into 2D animation and their stories, characters, and themes would still be crap.

[@sixx_shooter0174]

@@carsfan1995 I love both 2-D and 3-D. I don't mind Disney's change. But I just like watching 2-D animation, feels nostalgic and I'm not saying I wish for it back. I'm glad Tiana became the 1st African American princess along side the classics. Like how Mulan is the 1st Asian princess or how Pocahontas is the 1st Native American princess. That's what I mean. I understand your concern and annoyance, I feel annoyed with those people too.

[@lennypayne4241]

I really hate the 3-D animation. I get why Disney thinks it makes things look better but personally, I just think that it looks tacky. 2-D animation allows for more detail, more character, and scenery that's far more unique and much easier on the eyes. I really wish that Disney would do at least a few 2-D movies as "side projects" every now and then. At least now, I can take comfort in the fact that they won't be messing with their TV shows. So, "Milo Murphy's Law", "Amphibia", and "The Owl House" will still be presented to us in fabulous 2-D for a long time.

[@JuanFlores-mq8uv]

I dont understand why yall think a dirty joke is a bad thing in a children's movie? They wouldn't understand the joke in the first place but an adult watching it would. The "flashing" scene in cars was totally not inappropriate at all.

Ha! You got your wish, and they made a truly atrocious Pinocchio remake that completely stripped it of its "old-fashioned" moral lesson in favor of bland pleasantness. This time modern Disney went too far, however: It was a box-office disaster; and even the usually pliant critics couldn't bring themselves to say anything good about it.

[@Gonzales9514]

Anyone else find it ironic that Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah is one of the most iconic/recognisable Disney songs and yet most people who’ve heard it have never actually seen the film it’s from?

I used to own a VHS of Song of the South. It was my favorite. Of course, I was too young to understand the "master / slave relationship" and how offensive the tar-baby was since all I enjoyed was the music. I would love to find a DVD of it.

[@ericshawn3169]

@@notthatdigusted7468 More like, people didn't feel capable of standing up and complaining about it. I've little, personal, experience with this sort of stereotyping, but I expect that back when these movies were first made, any attempt to complain about it would have been laughed off in public. So the minorities probably complained about in private, but they didn't bother airing their greviances, because who would care? After all, the movies were only saying things that were everyone knew to be true, right? The internet has made a big difference; suddenly, people can complain about anything, knowing it'll be heard by someone who cares.

I used to watch tons of classic cartoons as a kid from the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Characters smoke and sometimes even drank, and never once did I see it and think, "Pinocchio's smoking a cigar...I should steal some of my dad's cigarettes" or "Droopy's in a saloon and everyone's drinking alcohol...maybe I should go sneak something from the liquor cabinet."

And the bootleg whiskey from “Alice Solves the Puzzle”. Censored because of Prohibition, and even today it would be controversial.

Imma say this early before y'all pull this shit in the comments: pointing out racism, Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, abuse etc DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE OVERSENSITIVE. It means you have respect for others and refuse to tolerate problematic media. The world isn't getting too sensitive, it's getting more inclusive and respectful.

I remember (about 25 years back, now) in my school, the "We Are Siamese" song was banned, on the grounds that it was racist; students caught singing it would get a detention. The ban was supported by a teacher whom I later found out collected gollywogs (though at his his home, not at school) for a hobby!

People are too sensitive. These are cartoons, i.e. caricatures, fictional characters that parents will be forced to watch with their kids so of course there will be stuff like this. From Song of the South to Cars, humor is something that transcends all races, both genders, and every social barrier.

I remember playing the We Are Siamese song out of the Disney songbook in the late 90s. It definitely came out around that time, because it had songs from Mulan in it. "What Makes the Red Man Red" was fortunately nowhere to be seen. I definitely had a lot of fun playing "A Pirate's Life For Me" though! "We rape and pillage," totally cool!

[@jasminejohnston6393]

“Disney hasn’t always been kind to Asians in their films” yeah until Mulan!

[@TheTradge]

You need to do another one of these, there were way more you could have fit in, e.g. the pleasure island scene in Pinocchio, the drunk scene in Dumbo, the entire "pastoral symphony" segment of Fantasia, there's a "black" centaur acting as a servant to the others and a fat guy getting really drunk, king Louis from Jungle Book essentially being a walking, talking, singing African-American stereotype, Sebastian in Little Mermaid (as well as the "blackfish"), there are a LOT of scenes that would be really unacceptable today.

"Mammy" has no ties to slavery. It's a nod to Al Jolsen, the popular entertainer of the time who, when wearing "blackface," made "Mammy!" his catchphrase. He popularized it. It should also be noted that Al Jolsen, when not on stage, was an activist for civil rights before that term was coined.

[@jahmac3602]

ajmittendorf How can you be an activist for civil rights whilst in your free time wearing a disturbing facade of the the very people you are fighting for? (supposedly). A disgusting and godless thing to do.

@@jahmac3602 Times were different, that's all. Nobody thought that blackface was racist until after the Civil Rights movement. But if not for Al Jolsen, then there'd be no Cab Calloway.

[@jahmac3602]

ajmittendorf Just because no one thought it was racist doesn’t mean it wasn’t. It was and is a disgusting practice and “art form”. Can Calloway is famous for being a Scat singer among other things, scat singing is an African American art form. His talent has nothing to with Al Jolsen or the topic at hand. The extent European Americans will go to defend something so obviously atrocious and godless is beyond me. Blackface is disgusting.

ajmittendorf and Mammy is a slur as well, and most definitely has ties to slavery. It was a word used to mimic they creative names that we would create for our elders, grandmother especially. Ex.- Na Na, Nani, Grammy, etc.
