A while back I asked everyone what their favorite Disney Song was. There was a wide assortment in people’s tastes and so I thought I would follow the question up with a related one… which *animated* Disney movie is your favorite, if any?
For me the question is difficult due to Disney Studio’s problem with racial issues….which I will get to in a second.
First though….
The list of potential movies is too huge to list here, but if you’d like to go to a site and see such a list to refresh your brain, please check out this article.
I am sure that many will go for the classics, like Cinderella or Snow White, but I’d not be shocked if some of the more recent movies had their fans.
Mine when I was a kid had to be choice between The Aristocats or Lady and The Tramp.
I liked the music most in these movies and the plots that focused in on cute dogs and cats but as I got older I realized that like some other Disney movies they can tend to be racist with their stereotypical presentations of Siamese cats being presented as stereotypical Asian people….which ruined them for me. When I was a wee BFSkinner I was oblivious to such things but now...they’re too much and ruin the movie for me.
Unfortunately one could argue that things over at Sir Walt’s has not changed much.
VH1 does a good job in listing racist moments in Disney films, as well does Screenrant.
So taking everything into account I’d have to go for One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
How about yours? Do you have a favorite Disney movie?
