Why do anime fans hate Disney so much?

I don't hate Disney.
I was probably one of the few that was really excited when I heard Naruto was going to air on Disney XD.
I'm a Disney fan, Old & New.
Disney has ALWAYS made shows for the tweens.
Hannah Montana isn't the first. (Remember Lizzie McGuire? Even Stevens? Phil of the Future?)
As for forcing them to sing. Get your facts right. They sing on their own.
Most of their acters/actress aren't even on a disney cd label.
I know Jonas Brothers is Hollywood Records- NOT Disney.


-sigh- Okay. I'm done ranting now.

I'm sure this has been addressed somewhere in this thread, but there's far too much for me to read through to try and find it. I think the major complaint most anime fans have lies in the typical American treatment of animation. We think (majority in America, that is) that animation is intended for children. its odd to note that most of the early animation produced in the U.S. was not targetted directly at children, but rather, to families as a whole. everything from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Bugs Bunny was created to be entertaining to the entire family. there exists, however, a stigma that animation is childish, and that only children watch it. This stigma becomes alarming when animation is created for adults (Heavy Metal, 8 Crazy Nights).
The problem is that this same stigma gets applied to products, like anime, which cater to varying audiences. Anime serves to entertain very specific demographics, which goes against the social norm around animation in the U.S. The major worry about programs like Beavis and Butt-head, Ren & Stimpy, The Simpsons, and Family Guy (just to name a few), was that they were not suitable for children. and of course they weren't, they were not INTENDED for children. so, when the anime is imported it's cleaned up to please the "moral majority", in an effort to make it kid-friendly. Disney becomes a target in this onslaught because they were (and arguably are) the largest animation studio within the United States. Many believe that Disney ruins the anime that it imports, when in fact, the moral structure of America forces Disney's hand.I know this is kind of a rant, but people need to understand the cultural reasons why Anime gets so lost in the translation, it's not because companies suck, it's because there will be those in outrages if 5-year-old Billy got hurt, used inappropriate language, etc that he learned from a cartoon. Thank you that is all.
p.s. Tsunade.... greatest character EVER

I loved watching disney as a kid especialy aladdin only because my fav character is princess jasmine. i just watching it a couple days ago and loved all over again. i say the reason why anime fans hate disney is because its not uptodate on cartoons or its not so popular. well i got news for anime fans, anime still lives if it wasnt for disney them selves. they were the inspiration for all anime creators. i mean take miyazaki for an example his work wouldnt have made it if it wasnt for the cooperation of disney.

Viz would have done a good job. Sure viz made some mistakes, like their video game based anime but for the most part they do a good job. Besides they did a great job with the Naussica manga.

Oh I know Disney owns alot of things but I'm pretty sure they don't own Newscorp (Fox)

I don't HATE Disney channel, it's just that whenever there's an anime show on it (Digimon and the more recent Naruto Shippuden), they really censor the shows. They hardly show any violence in the anime. They should've kept the anime on Cartoon Network. But Disney isn't that bad.

I agree with you. Miley Cyrus can't act. And the Jonas brothers voices (especially the youngest one) are absolutely terrible! They also shouldn't of censored the anime and edited them, like you said. It's really annoying!

{{Except they don't censor Fresh Prince of Belair, X-Man Evolution, Specular Spiderman, etc... Also, It would of been the same if they put it on CN.

Of course, the show being for broadcast makes it difficult. I mean, the show’s a little more hardcore than Cartoon Network’s allowed to air so things get cut, things that make the show cool. Luckily, they’ll be releasing an uncut version to DVD.” Naruto’s uncut DVDs are looking good since the cast has been recording two different sets of dialogue simultaneously. “We’re actually doing it as we go, recording "TV safe" and "Uncut" versions of lines. I can’t remember a lot of specific ones, but a lot of them deal with avoiding the word "kill," and such. I have a feeling it’ll sound cooler when Sasuke talks about "Killing a certain someone," rather than "Destroying a certain someone," you know?" And some of the blood that’s painted out will be back in the uncut version, as I understand it. They have weird rules about what kind of blood they can show and what kind they have to paint out.}}
