liz_bliz Death to Disney and their mind numming flims! Seriously, enough of the black and white, uneventful and easy to guess storyline that always have to have a totally wrapped up happy ending with no loose ends. our kids can handle a little bit of grey area. I'd rather not have to explain the grey area to Noelle... she's only 3. What's wrong with a film that has a happy ending? I see absolutely nothing wrong with Disney movies.... I tend to enjoy them myself.

I might bit a bit more poisoned against disney than most. Probably due to to the slaughter house job they did when Hayao Miyazaki let them translate his first big work, Nausicca: of the valley of the wind.
The contrast between the original story line and disney's misshaped horror of a version personifies everythinhg I see that Disney has to have in it's movies.
They changed it so that if you looked at it through the manga, it took the 6 volume master piece and edited it to end at about the first volume.
They cut out an entire ethnic race
Cut out most of the plotline
Cut out most of the history
changed the ending entirely from the originals.
and lots and lots of other bad things.
All so they could have their usually, completely bad guy vs the completely good guy secnerio. And then there was the as always, good triumphing over evil completely and everyone lives happily ******** ever after. Like that's haw it always is in real life? Likes that's even close? Hell no.
That's why Miyazaki is a genius and Disney is a bunch of idiots. He doesn't limit himself to a automatic story line that has to be certian ways. He doesn't think, like apperantly disney does, that if a kid or teenager sees a story that doesn't end with triumph over evil or, hell, any completely evil person to 'root against' that their brains will explode because they can comprehend something.
The problem it causes can be seen in society itself. Look at all the conflicts around the world and look at what the majory of the people think. They have to have a bad guy and good guy. They can't comprehend that maybe they are both not bad. Or maybe they are both not totally bad or good, they have to have two clear sides, bad and good, there cannot be any other sides. Why? because that's what were taught while we grow up, by media especially, Disney a major contributor.
Think about it next time you watch a disney movie, especially the older ones. Whatever the storyline, the plot will move something like this:
Meet good guy and possibly good guy pals. They will be completely good, all awesome and squeaky clean.
Meet bad guys, they will be completely bad and irredeamable.
The good guy will come into some kind of quandry or bad situation that gets them involved with the bad guy in which they are tricked by the bad guy.
Bad guy gets the upper hand, good guy has to find away to beat him.
Final show down, enteral good versus evil struggle personified, blah, blah, blah.
Good guy wins, usually either killing the bad guy or the bad guys own deeds coming back to haunt them.
Good guy is triumphant, still squeaky clean and unchange by any of these conflicts, traumatic experiences or the act of killing someone else.
Happily ******** ever after.
reapeat 6 months to 5 years later with a ceasy, either pointless sequel, or one that is basically the same movie in a new wrapper.
Oh yeah, and also actually re-release the same movies over and over to make more money without actually having to create anything new.
Disney is not the masters of animating anymore, not after people actually starting writing storys for animated films that make you think.
If anyone can watch Princess Mononoke and actually point out a clear main character as a bad guy with no grey area or goodness in them nor good reason for doing what they do and prove it to me, I will give them like 10k.

I'd rather not have to explain the grey area to Noelle... she's only 3. What's wrong with a film that has a happy ending? I see absolutely nothing wrong with Disney movies.... I tend to enjoy them myself. the problem is two things really: 1. With the exception of things like Pirates of the Carribean, most of them are very nearly the same story with a different setting. It seems like they literally can't pull away from that kind of story. 2. Movies like this are fine for a 3 year old. But when kids are watching almost nothing but disney films until their like 8 or 9? By that time, they should know that this is not only bad and good, wrong and right in absolute. They should have been taught by then that there are things inbetween those two extremes, and that there is almost never anything in the world that is at one of those extremes, especially the good one.

i would rather my 9 year old sister watch disney movies than most of the others. And there are a lot of differences between the story lines of disney movies. Personally, i still enjoy them and im 18....><''
Also, they show both sides. In Mulan, she broke the law, even though she did it to save ehr father. Raises a moral question of ethics, doesnt it? That is just one example.

When you're a parent you can make that decision about what they can or cannot watch. I'm sure that by eight or nine, yes a child knows that everything doesn't have a happy ending. And I find it highly unlikely that a child of that age is raised on just disney movies alone or is rediculously shelterd to the point where they don't know a thing about life. If they are, then it's a shame. (and I think Mulan, sword in the stone, fantasia, bambi, fox and the hound and such all have different storylines... just to make a few off the top of my head). Either way, I'd prefer my child to watch a disney movie or something on Noggin rather than half the crap out there.
I honestly cannot be convinced that a feel good movie is a bad thing at any age. They aren't created to be thought provokers or rocket science. They are created to be family entertainment... something I can take my children to and not have to worry about if somebody is going to get their head blown off in.
No, disney isn't the pioneers of animation anymore. If anything, Pixar is going to keep them afloat... but because they butchered a movie you like, doesn't make Beauty and the Beast or the Wild a work of the devil and absolutely horrible. Personally, I've enjoyed a majority of disney films. The only one I really have a distaste for is Pocahontas because it was taking a historical story and making it incredibly inaccurate.
Much of disney's problem in the past was who was controlling it: Eisner. Now that Pixar is in control mostly, I'm sure a good bit of Disney's problems will go away. Like I said, Pixar is what keeps them afloat.
