Amen. I'm sitting up here laughing hysterically at this whole page myself.

I think they're reaching on a few of those, and you do have to take into account that when most of these films were made, that's just how people and society behaved and worked...and it's not like Disney hasnt come a long way since most of them...and that Alladin one is really stretching![]()
He wasn't though. King Louie was created 100% by Disney. The Bandor-log (Hindi for Monkey people) in the Jungle Book are hated by all for their complete lack of leaders and laws or anything resembling organization. Disney's the Jungle Book was inspired by Rudyard Kiplings short story collections. Rather than based on them.and for gods sake.. king louie? Louis prisma WANTED to do the roll... and its not like the amazingly awsome orangutan wasn't in the book.... and is pretty much one of the best characters in the movie
Lee, you slacker!

And Louis Prima was white.
What always surprises me how much time other races have to accuse cartoons of being racist, and yet when Caucasians get offended, we're expected to just "shrug it off" or "leave it alone". It's the same with matters of faith and sexuality, too. Christians and heteros are expected to obey the "status quo", while gays and atheists complain all the time. All of it's truly depressing, in my opinion.
Uncle Remus always looked like he'd been hittin' the corn still a little too hard to me. Maybe that's why he saw all those cartoon animals and sh1t. Moonshine's nothin' to play with, son!

how is any of the racism displayed in those cartoons "hidden or non-existant"
you'd have to agree that the movies and literature are a reflection of the time they are produced in.
back when most of these cartoons were produced racism was pretty wide spread.
I mean, you do know that racism is still an issue today right?
and some of these were produced prior to the civil rights movement.
I can easily see how the Disney folks would be ok with this as people would be ok with whatever the norm for race relations is today.
why does this make some people so indignant.
I mean " what made the Red man red" that doesn't seem a tiny bit racist to you? how about, what made asians yellow?
I mean, seriously.
