Me too! I've also loved the part after when Mulan's horse snaps at him that says what was building up to EVEN Robin Williams Comedic GOLD "AND WHAT ARE YOU A SHEEP!?!" Then, a short time later he says another iconic line here. "Down Bessy!
RickGnool As much i like Jessica Rabbit, and i do, i think you're right, as a matter of fact i think a lot of people in today's audiences would probably find a curvaceous cartoon character like Jessica Rabbit to be offensive...at least i think they would, i don't really know.
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. And it's not like the kids understand them haha, at least I never did.
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 once got into an argument about this with a woman on facebook that argued that cartoons are and should only be watched by kids and parents should enjoy watching the kids watch the movies instead of adults getting invested in it themselves, honestly how ignorant can you get?
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
"That wouldn't work today"? Ok, lets watch Frozen 2. There are TONS of adult jokes in it. This humour worked then, and it works now. Disney still does this stuff, as do many other studios.
Disney has thankfully been able to avoid some of their controversial mistakes with race and other topics; considering most of the more offensive came from contentious periods of history
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.
My grandfather still has a VHS to this day and acknowledges the issues but still believes it is a beautiful film. I second his opinions and think they could put a disclaimer like they did for Peter Pan on Disney plus
The mild adult ones are fine..i see them as an easter egg for parents watching a movie with their kids... The racist ones though are nogos and should not be repeated
@@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.
Wow, can’t believe the pleasure island scene from Pinocchio isn’t even an honourable mention. They smoked cigarettes and cigars, drank beer, played pool and scrapped. Not to mention none of those kids were rescued, and likely died in mines or wherever they were shipped to. That’s one of the darkest moments I can even think of lol
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.
Okay but Pocahontas isn't really a good example when you consider her love for John Smith was completely made up and that she was really 10 years old at the of when the story takes place
ULGROTHA • agreed. they’re expanding Their storytelling to modern audiences. The times were different and they can’t keep those stories or stereotypes 60 years later.
@@teoq8917 Well, they never explicitly portrayed "Pocahontas" as a love story, and they did try to correct that point in the sequel, but yeah, the story absolutely butchered real life history, most notably basing the climax around an unconfirmed account by John Smith that is generally thought to have been completely made up.
Forget the salt mines, they went straight to the slaughter houses! Talking donkeys would only be trouble. Hell, Monstro the titanic whale felt like a relief by comparison.
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."
The crows in Dumbo are not racist. If anything, they’re the smartest characters in the whole film. Not to mention, with the exception of Timothy Mouse, they’re the few that are nice to him and treat him with respect and support.
Gregory Blosser The crows know what it’s like to be outsiders. They use their talents to inspire. I also feel the film paints them in a positive light. It reminds of us of a less enlightened time and I feel it’s ultimately positive. This film was Walt’s favorite and mine.
Except none of them are played by black people. They're played by white people mimicking black people. That's probably the weirdest of them all. And crows were often considered dumb and uneducated back in the day. Still, I don't find the crows to have been the worst depiction of Black people.
I’m pretty sure Mushu meant by “Seeing through your armor” is more of a metaphor that you can’t hide anything from him, like your gender which is something that the army can’t differentiate but he can because he knows she is a woman
Jarrett Smith It’s true! I watched it recently and there’s a mouse that she’s either a burlesque dancer or a stripper. But it’s not nearly as bad as Song of the South
Well, they point out that a lot of the things on the list offended ppl back then. The rescuers faux paux was fixed in the early 90s, Peter Pan, Lady and the tramp, and Song of the South, Dumbo, as well as Santa's workshop are all things that have **long** been cancelled or were seen as controversial in real time. That's 6/10 things on the list. The number 1 thing on the list was offensive **when it came out**. But sure, let's pretend this outrage is new because some of y'all are brand new to seeing it.
If anything this should prove as the number one reason why the live action Hunchback of Notre Dame movie should never happen anytime soon. Sorry Disney, but for as much any fans that's seen and loved that animated classic as kids, I just don’t think this should ever be remade at all. 😑😑
As much as people are shocked at "how things were" and pat ourselves on the back for how much better we are, in another 50 years there will be things of today that won't work anymore which could include reverting to how they were done 100 years ago.
I certainly hope people fifty years from now will be outraged by the racism of all of us in the Twenty-twenties. I would hate to think that nothing will have improved by then. We all need more humility about our place in history.
I was in a middle school rendition of Peter pan that changed "what made the red man red" to "what made the brave man brave". It wasn't terrible and actually fit the theme of the show better than the original song in the original show/movie.
@TheRapper10000 it was written by Disney. Do you really think it would be appropriate for 12 year olds to sing stereotypes about natives like that? what kind of song of the south bullshit. Sounds like a racist little neckbeard hiding behind his keyboard warrior days, to me. Bye
@TheRapper10000 Well, most of those people probably watched the original movie, so they know about the portrayal of Native Americans back then anyway. So is there really any harm done?
Mary Magee the problem is that what may be intolerable for you is not for others. I am not racist and if you want to play that card with me, I am Mexican. And yet not offended by slurs. We Mexicans are quite impervious to that: heck, we even embrace it as part of our CULTURE. And what about freedom of speech? Worth sacrificing not to offend SOME people?
Come on, racial stereotypes, smoking and drinking are one thing; but innuendos? No wonder it doesn't feel like there is clever writing or witty dialogue around anymore.
Did you people see how many dirty jokes are in Coco? Hector’s friends in the underworld make fun of him by saying he died from choking on a dick (chorizo is slang for dick in Mexican Spanish.) Frieda Kahlo’s presentation was even more suggestive to people who understand the puns and slang of Mexican Spanish, prompting her to ask if it was “too forward.”
There are completely inappropriate and offensive things like Song of the South and Red Man Red, and then there is older humor like the Oedipus joke and the pollenation joke...
06:26 According to my mother, I hated the siamese cats as a kid. To the point that when I watched the VHS, I would turn off the tv as soon as they came on, and let it play until they finished (which I apparently had perfectly timed) before turning the tv back on. I’m sure three year old me wasn’t concerned about racial sensitivity though. More that I found them creepy.
But that's exactly the point. Even though you didn't realize as a child that it was racially inappropriate you disliked them and thought they were creepy. Children would also be afraid of something that sounds or look similar and that is the problem
Didn’t like them that much. At first it was only because cats are mean, but now I hated because it racist and it shows that cats are mean. I’m glad some today’s tv shows are dropping that.
Oxford Educated High School Head Master Well you sure talk like one and make the even more out of fashion excuse of “it was a different time” like a coward who’s trying to make excuses for something everyone knows is outdated. Okay Boomer is just a fitting sentiment. We know it’s different time, but we shouldn’t make it excuses. We become secure adults to acknowledge that it’s outdated stuff that shouldn’t have happened, but still enjoy the thing in general. You know, like adults who are secure enough in themselves.
“Song of the south” is an absolute disgrace, but as a child, I loved the character of Uncle Remus bcz he was so kind. I still like the character, despite the stereotypes, because it would be lovely for a child to know a kind, older gentleman who was so nice to children and was a great storyteller. The actor that played him was amazing - disgusting he was banned from the premiere, but it was such a racist mess, maybe he lucked out.
I would add a scene from "Peter Pan", where Captain Hook, tired of a badly singing pirate, murders him in cold blood with a gun. And this whole scene was made as a joke :).
While "Dumbo" mostly holds up to contemporary standards, there's simply NO WAY you could get away with getting a baby elephant drunk nowadays. Even the 2019 version briefly poked fun at this!🐘
@@chasehedges6775 I thought that Green delivered the best performance in the movie, as she conveyed her character's eventual warmness towards Farell. He was fantastic as always, and while the two children were decent, some of their line delivery felt flat and awkward.
@@trinaq That's cool! I wondered if she enjoyed wearing that acrobat costume. She looked so awesome wearing it. Also, in regards to the girl and her acting, they should have casted Isabella Sermon or Isabella Moner, in my opinion. They are both better actresses I also think they should have written the girl a a little better. Don't make her wanting to be a scientist, how about have her desiring to have a role in the circus, like a trapeze artist and connecting with Dumbo.
@@chasehedges6775 She really did, she looked so divine! I agree with your assessment about the girl. She's played by Nico Parker, Thandie Newton's daughter, and while I dislike being too harsh on child performers, as they're just starting out, and they have plenty of time to grow into their craft, I wish that they'd given her a different storyline, or cast an actress who was actually American. 🐘👧
@@chatboulon743 No its because in Chinese folklore the female spirit guide is a Phoenix, not a dragon, lets be totally honest Disney weren't known for doing their research. This version of Mulan is going to be closer to the folk law from China, Which I think is a good thing. They have also put the instrumental versions of the songs in (or at the very least reflection)
Not complaining, but I'm a little surprised alcoholism didn't make the list or honorable mention. Examples include "Pinocchio" (1940), "Dumbo" (1941) "Peter Pan" (1953), "Sleeping Beauty" (1959), "The Aristocats" (1970), and "Beauty and the Beast" (1991).
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.
Ditto, I enjoyed the Psychedelic pink elephants, and I always thought that the crows were like the coolest, it’s such a shame that they have to be associated with that part of history
I never seen the crows as racist. I get how they could be seen as racist, but they are one of very few characters who actually are nice to Dumbo AND got him to fly! They were cool, smooth and actually helpful. Plus things like the Cosby kids speak and act like that and everyone loves them...
The headlights thing, or Oedipus joke, etc... made me laugh haha. But yeah, the other ones are definitely.. not okay i guess💀 PS: just a request maybe: Top 10 Alyssa Edwards moments on rpdr? It was her birthday yesterday i think❤️🌟
The oedipus joke is amazing. And literally anyone who gets it has already heard the story so what's the deal. Also the cars headlights? What's wrong with that haha
Hookah Time would only work in a modern Disney movie if they hire Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to produce a proper remake (separate from the Tim Burton follow-up), and they cast Snopp Dogg as the Caterpillar.
9:01 Actually, that is referring to Native Americans, not "Indians". Native Americans and Indians are SO different and the fact that people place them in the same category is sooooo idiotic. I know because I'm part Native American.
I felt the Priest singing about lust in Hunchback of Notre Dame seemed to go too far for a kid's movie. Dumbo also had controversial scenes before the crows with Dumbo looking like he was having an acid trip.
I loved the Song of the South, because it made me interest about the black history. Nwdays I do hope Disney makes a remake of this movie; bringing the true bittersweetness of the slavery of this moment. More realistic, but still charming
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.
justin. Nature is not inclusive. You can’t change the natural ways of the universe. But hey...I can’t tell you what to do, so I’m just going to laugh at you snowflakes running around in circles. Enjoy!
Rebekah Robinson what happens after the movie isn’t up to Disney studios and actually Walt Disney himself fought to get the actor in for the premiere and failed.
I do t know what’s the big deal with representing those times of slavery. Forgetting is coming back to the same place, honoring and embracing is having a reminder to not making the same mistakes again. I don’t know why people are so oversensitive this days, that’s not good at all, it’s like getting inside a fragile bubble 🤷🏻♂️
I remember as a child I just couldn’t understand why The Indians in Peter Pan were red and I was very confused by it even more so on why Princess Tigerlily wasn’t red
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!
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!
Some of the moments from this list don’t apply. As the title implies, the moments had to be intentional back in the day. The Rescuers’ naked woman was a mischief by one of the animators and nearly no one spotted it. And harmless, easy to miss jokes like the Oedipus line, or Genie’s honeymoon comment are just hidden adult jokes that would still work today.
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.
Yeah but they could’ve made them a bird that isn’t associated with racist caricatures. They wanted birds to help motivate Dumbo? Don’t make the crows and black stereotypes.
Oxford Educated High School Head Master It’s not nothing if was just as offensive by 1940s standards. The crows were a bad idea that could’ve been prevented.
Same, I wish we could all see them the same way a kid growing up after the 60’s, just a bunch of really cool crows. We should all be happy that Disney has moved on with the times, and hope that all characters can just be seen as characters, not reminders of past mistakes.
This is what pisses me off: Almost all Siamese cats In cartoons portrays Asian stereotypes The media of any film never uses Siamese cats because of its history with being a racist stereotype I want to change that I’m trying to make a tv show where the main character is a Siamese cat in England, in a fantasy setting, I hope to break the unfortunate chain that this amazing breed of cat clapped on by bigger companies.
My fiance and I started watching all Disney films from the very beginning. We have just reached "Alice in Wonderland" and we came to a conclusion that the creators must have been on LSD or something to come up with certain scenes and ideas :D
Some think Lewis Carroll, who wrote the Alice books, had experience with magic mushrooms. It is far from impossible. The Sixties did not invent drug trips.
"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.
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.
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.
Imagine how different times are today hone when most of these movies came out, as you look at some of the movies that are on the list like Cars and Mulan are still more recent movies, as a lot of the older movies will be more then 50 years old.
Fantastic they don't bother *you*. But if you watch the video, 6/10 of these videos note decades long umbrage with the content. So it isn't people being sensitive "these days".
I half agree, they don’t really bother me personally, but that doesn’t make them any less racist (from a time standpoint) still love all the movies though...
Better cancel whatever hurts or could hurt someone's feel feels! They tried to cancel Speedy Gonzales as they automatically thought it was offensive to Mexicans, only for Mexicans to protest.
"People get offended so easily" I bet y'all are the first ones to fly into a rage when someone says something you don't like, in person or on the internet.
I can see the live action Pinocchio with the smoking and drinking scene. For a live action it would work and it would fit the edgie nature of those movies, for a cartoon movie it wouldn’t.
the crows help dumbo to fly and is a catchy song and some how everyone forgets at the beging when building the circuis it looks like what is a bunch of black men working in the middle of the night in a storm singing we work all day and work all night
For the Dumbo part. Dumbo got drunk because some dumb clown put booze in the elephant's water. As for the crowd, after the mouse explained what Dumbo had been through, they were very sympathetic and kind, making them one of the nicest characters in the movie.
When I was a kid, I watched a lot of cartoons and stuff in kids' movies that would be considered racist today. However, it didn't lead to me make fun of people of other ethnicities, because I knew the difference between cartoons and reality, and I knew how to treat people IRL! I thought that the Siamese Cat Song was just a fun little song, I had no idea that the crows in Dumbo were considered racist (I actually just thought they were annoying), and the "Why Is the Red Man Red" song was one I really didn't think much about (and BTW, read the original story of Peter Pan, if you REALLY want to see some racist descriptions of Native peoples; this Disney version actually softened up the treatment of Natives). And as for Song of the South, I wonder how many of the people criticizing it today have actually SEEN that movie? I have, and I honestly don't understand all the fuss about it. This film does NOT take place during the slavery period, but the RECONSTRUCTION era following the Civil War. Many of the slaves stayed on at the plantation because they had no money, no education, and nowhere else to go, and they stayed there because it was FAMILIAR. As for Uncle Remus, he was a character with a lot of warmth and tenderness, and he and the young boy genuinely cared for and respected each other. It's actually a pretty good film, if people would actually watch it for themselves! Too many people get offended over stuff these days! Unfortunately, we're also living in a time where a lot of people aren't being taught how to think for themselves, but only how to REACT to what other people tell them, and that's sad!
Personally I think these are all just nitpicks and people who have nothing better to do with their lives and just looking to stir up trouble.For most of these I can still barely understand the reference if at all.
I loved them as a kid. I had them as stuffed animals and took them everywhere with me. I loved their song and the way they talked.. my mom told me I would walk around talking like them everytime I finished watching it.
Funny how #1 is Song of the South-all of it. Yet Disney didn't shy away from using the animated characters from it to make one of its most popular theme park attractions in Splash Mountain.
"Dishonor to you and dishonor to your cow" is my favorite movie quote

Um. . . I think she would
RickeGnool That’s why we have the things I don’t wanna brothers disclaimer which every company should use for older cartoons and programs

And it's not like the kids understand them haha, at least I never did.
That’s right👍🏻
True, but some are sensitive and would be so angry
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 actually love the adult humor! Kids would take a different meaning to it so it’s not hurting anyone
Right! I didn't get the jokes in The Simpsons when I was young but now that I'm older I find the jokes very funny.
It's certainly better than throwing a bunch of fart jokes and in your face pop culture references.
@F-zero91maru No joke, how did society end up becoming more conservative?
Same! I’m rewatching a lot of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network cartoons that were filled with adult jokes and I find them 10x funnier now. 😂

I’m 32 and I didn’t think anything of the headlight thing until MsMojo just kindly spelt it out for me. 🤦♀️
There is the scene where Baby Herman reaches up a woman's dress. You have to do it frame by frame since it goes so fast.
A lot of adults didn't get the reference in Pixar's Cars ""Lemon Party" scene... Even I had to Google that..... And I'm sorry I did
Especially some of the stuff children are taught in school these days.
Technically their headlights would be on their face.
Actually, about Genie's honeymoon joke, I still hear stuff like that in modern animated movies. Including Frozen II.
Yeah, I agree. Anna's comment about Kristoff in leather was even more provocative I'd argue.
Same
And 'foot size doesn't matter"
Wait what joke?
Judy Hopps: "I mean, I am just a dumb bunny...But we ARE good at multiplying."
Most underrated joke in the film.
"That wouldn't work today"?
Ok, lets watch Frozen 2. There are TONS of adult jokes in it.
This humour worked then, and it works now. Disney still does this stuff, as do many other studios.
Yeah watch Frozen 2 with my boyfriend, he thinks it's totaly gay.
Hitoshi Igarashi that’s because your boyfriend is gay. It’s called gaydar.
They came out in a different time, different culture, different mind set. They are still wonderful movies, though.
Lia Tsukino Yeah, no wonder the critics and fans weren't too kind with the live action remakes.
Disney has thankfully been able to avoid some of their controversial mistakes with race and other topics; considering most of the more offensive came from contentious periods of history
@F-zero91maru You're so right.
@F-zero91maru Two of my favorite movies!
Wonderful for you, maybe.
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.
My grandfather still has a VHS to this day and acknowledges the issues but still believes it is a beautiful film. I second his opinions and think they could put a disclaimer like they did for Peter Pan on Disney plus
Well what do you expect. Disney is so uncomfortable with how the film is these days
chatboulon it’s never been released on VHS or any other video format. Not sure wtf you’re talking about.
Chuck it was available on home release before the outright ban in the late 80s
I think nowadays everyone is afraid of offending someone. The mild adult jokes aren't bad at all and people need to just chill.
The mild adult ones are fine..i see them as an easter egg for parents watching a movie with their kids...
The racist ones though are nogos and should not be repeated
Thats true I was growing up in the late 1980s and early 1990s it seems like people were not so touchy back then.
👏👏👏 spoken like a supreme royal leader (don't wanna assume your gender or I will get called out as "offending you")
Ur right
@@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.
Wow, can’t believe the pleasure island scene from Pinocchio isn’t even an honourable mention. They smoked cigarettes and cigars, drank beer, played pool and scrapped. Not to mention none of those kids were rescued, and likely died in mines or wherever they were shipped to. That’s one of the darkest moments I can even think of lol
I get all those things, except for playing pool. I don’t know what’s so bad about that
@@joehumpston7937 Probably the fact that so many bars have pool tables.
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.
Well Disney does put races in a positive light too like Pocahontas , Mulan and the princess and the frog
Claire gheill yes, but these movies came decades before those.
Claire gheill - those once “outdated cultural depictions” gotta be remedied someway.
Okay but Pocahontas isn't really a good example when you consider her love for John Smith was completely made up and that she was really 10 years old at the of when the story takes place
ULGROTHA • agreed. they’re expanding Their storytelling to modern audiences. The times were different and they can’t keep those stories or stereotypes 60 years later.
@@teoq8917 Well, they never explicitly portrayed "Pocahontas" as a love story, and they did try to correct that point in the sequel, but yeah, the story absolutely butchered real life history, most notably basing the climax around an unconfirmed account by John Smith that is generally thought to have been completely made up.
"Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your cow!" That always makes me laugh!
Dumbo's drunkenness? The entirety of Pleasure Island in Pinocchio?
I don't even want to think about what they do with the donkey boys who CAN still talk.
Forget the salt mines, they went straight to the slaughter houses! Talking donkeys would only be trouble. Hell, Monstro the titanic whale felt like a relief by comparison.
Compucles Their is a theory that Donkey from Shrek was one of the donkeys from pleasure island that kept the ability to talk.
I think it serves as a warning to children, at least the older ones.
And Jiminy Cricket was one horny little bug(ger). Just watch how he reacts to women.
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."
RIP to Alan Rickman who played as the Caterpillar from Alice in the Wonderland.
I did not realize that was Alan Rickman!
Animated or live action?
@@trans-dragonroger1948 Live action.
Regardless of how you feel about Tim Burton’s version of Alice in Wonderland, the voice acting is admittedly top notch.
“My eyes can see straight through your armour” (Mulan slaps her hand across her chest)
Yeah Disney got away with a boob joke!
The crows in Dumbo are not racist. If anything, they’re the smartest characters in the whole film. Not to mention, with the exception of Timothy Mouse, they’re the few that are nice to him and treat him with respect and support.
Gregory Blosser The crows know what it’s like to be outsiders. They use their talents to inspire. I also feel the film paints them in a positive light. It reminds of us of a less enlightened time and I feel it’s ultimately positive. This film was Walt’s favorite and mine.
Yeah the crows aren’t racist it’s just the stereotypes that came with the crows but yeah I love dumbo it just makes me feel some type of way
Except none of them are played by black people. They're played by white people mimicking black people. That's probably the weirdest of them all. And crows were often considered dumb and uneducated back in the day. Still, I don't find the crows to have been the worst depiction of Black people.
I’m pretty sure Mushu meant by “Seeing through your armor” is more of a metaphor that you can’t hide anything from him, like your gender which is something that the army can’t differentiate but he can because he knows she is a woman
Funny, in 50 years, someone will critique this video, for being judgey
Why wait? I’m critiquing it now as ridiculous & judgy.
Well it is
Well it is
Um, not even an honorable mention that there are basically STRIPPERS in "The Great Mouse Detective"....?
Jarrett Smith It’s true! I watched it recently and there’s a mouse that she’s either a burlesque dancer or a stripper. But it’s not nearly as bad as Song of the South
@@kiaraeijo I love song of the south it's one of my favorite disney movies
Was that white mouse a stripper? I though she was just a show girl
@@the-nina-beans88 If she's taking her clothes off while dancing seductively while flirting with men, she's a stripper.

We’re living in 2020. *EVERYTHING* Offends Everyone.
And that is really sad.
Very sad and dumb
Well, they point out that a lot of the things on the list offended ppl back then. The rescuers faux paux was fixed in the early 90s, Peter Pan, Lady and the tramp, and Song of the South, Dumbo, as well as Santa's workshop are all things that have **long** been cancelled or were seen as controversial in real time. That's 6/10 things on the list. The number 1 thing on the list was offensive **when it came out**. But sure, let's pretend this outrage is new because some of y'all are brand new to seeing it.
Yep, we’re in a post-joke Post Raisin Bran society.
Unfortunately, this is true.
There's no way Disney would do a scene/song like "Hellfire" from Hunchback of Notre Dame in today's world.
or anything from that movie at all.
If anything this should prove as the number one reason why the live action Hunchback of Notre Dame movie should never happen anytime soon. Sorry Disney, but for as much any fans that's seen and loved that animated classic as kids, I just don’t think this should ever be remade at all. 😑😑
The closest thing we have to this is a musical which never went to Broadway
@@Unholy_milk better than the movie
As much as people are shocked at "how things were" and pat ourselves on the back for how much better we are, in another 50 years there will be things of today that won't work anymore which could include reverting to how they were done 100 years ago.
I certainly hope people fifty years from now will be outraged by the racism of all of us in the Twenty-twenties. I would hate to think that nothing will have improved by then. We all need more humility about our place in history.
I was in a middle school rendition of Peter pan that changed "what made the red man red" to "what made the brave man brave". It wasn't terrible and actually fit the theme of the show better than the original song in the original show/movie.
censored done right.
@TheRapper10000 it was written by Disney. Do you really think it would be appropriate for 12 year olds to sing stereotypes about natives like that? what kind of song of the south bullshit. Sounds like a racist little neckbeard hiding behind his keyboard warrior days, to me. Bye
@TheRapper10000 judging by your other comments, you are also extremely sexist. Welcome to being the first person I block on UA-cam in 8+ years.
Sounded like a reasonable compromise to me. Times change and for your drama teacher to adapt like that is pretty creative.
@TheRapper10000 Well, most of those people probably watched the original movie, so they know about the portrayal of Native Americans back then anyway. So is there really any harm done?
“Tolerance” today is becoming INSANELY INTOLERANT.
Very true.
just say “WHY CAN’T I BE OPENLY RACIST ANYMORE” and get on with it
because to be tolerant you must remove tolerance to what is intolerant, is that tolerant enough for you?
luke mcclutchey yep, sounds good to me. Beliefs/actions that are damaging to others aren’t worthy of tolerance.
Mary Magee the problem is that what may be intolerable for you is not for others. I am not racist and if you want to play that card with me, I am Mexican. And yet not offended by slurs. We Mexicans are quite impervious to that: heck, we even embrace it as part of our CULTURE. And what about freedom of speech? Worth sacrificing not to offend SOME people?
Come on, racial stereotypes, smoking and drinking are one thing; but innuendos? No wonder it doesn't feel like there is clever writing or witty dialogue around anymore.
Did you people see how many dirty jokes are in Coco? Hector’s friends in the underworld make fun of him by saying he died from choking on a dick (chorizo is slang for dick in Mexican Spanish.) Frieda Kahlo’s presentation was even more suggestive to people who understand the puns and slang of Mexican Spanish, prompting her to ask if it was “too forward.”
Well... I gotta say that you can’t erase history - and Disney movies are no exception to this rule!
There are completely inappropriate and offensive things like Song of the South and Red Man Red, and then there is older humor like the Oedipus joke and the pollenation joke...
We are a society of soft and easily-offended people. Pathetic.
As butt hurt as it can get.
Ok, boomer
not me im tuff af
You better watch Out How original
Now we’re not
You are so right MsMojo, most of the moments on this list would not work in today's society.
06:26 According to my mother, I hated the siamese cats as a kid. To the point that when I watched the VHS, I would turn off the tv as soon as they came on, and let it play until they finished (which I apparently had perfectly timed) before turning the tv back on. I’m sure three year old me wasn’t concerned about racial sensitivity though. More that I found them creepy.
I found them so creepy
But that's exactly the point. Even though you didn't realize as a child that it was racially inappropriate you disliked them and thought they were creepy. Children would also be afraid of something that sounds or look similar and that is the problem
Didn’t like them that much. At first it was only because cats are mean, but now I hated because it racist and it shows that cats are mean. I’m glad some today’s tv shows are dropping that.
Well, it's a was indeed a different time.
It really was, "Song of the South" seems tame enough today, but it sparked a HUGE controversy back then!
A better time.
Oxford Educated High School Head Master
Okay Boomer.
Ah the classic "Ok Boomer" that's already out of fashion... Well done.
Oxford Educated High School Head Master
Well you sure talk like one and make the even more out of fashion excuse of “it was a different time” like a coward who’s trying to make excuses for something everyone knows is outdated.
Okay Boomer is just a fitting sentiment.
We know it’s different time, but we shouldn’t make it excuses. We become secure adults to acknowledge that it’s outdated stuff that shouldn’t have happened, but still enjoy the thing in general.
You know, like adults who are secure enough in themselves.
*Cultural appropriation, children smoking, racist stereotypes and sexual innuendos. Sounds like classic vintage Disney films.*
How the times have changed
@@LucyLioness100 *Indeed.*
Sounds like fantastic disney movies wish they would make more of those
"Cultural appropriation" isnt a thing. Stop spewing buzzwords you dont even know
Cultural appropiation = If you're white you can't dress as anything because it's offensive
“Song of the south” is an absolute disgrace, but as a child, I loved the character of Uncle Remus bcz he was so kind. I still like the character, despite the stereotypes, because it would be lovely for a child to know a kind, older gentleman who was so nice to children and was a great storyteller. The actor that played him was amazing - disgusting he was banned from the premiere, but it was such a racist mess, maybe he lucked out.
What's Racist about it?
I'm surprised Disney hasn't pulled a Star Wars Holiday Special and destroyed its copies and pretend it doesn't exist
GentlemanGaGa29 The fact that the slaves seem happy with their lot in life is a huge, huge problem, among other faults.
@@GentlemanGaGa29 watch the video. They explain the issues people had with the movie...in 1946... including Walt Disney.

Classic Disney just can't be touched in comparison by any studio today
Amen!

Alyssa Black
Tradition = Peer Pressure from dead people.
Mulan is secretly about gender dysphoria, fight me.
I would add a scene from "Peter Pan", where Captain Hook, tired of a badly singing pirate, murders him in cold blood with a gun. And this whole scene was made as a joke :).
"Peter Pan" is one of the funniest Disney animated movies.
While "Dumbo" mostly holds up to contemporary standards, there's simply NO WAY you could get away with getting a baby elephant drunk nowadays. Even the 2019 version briefly poked fun at this!🐘
Speaking of Dumbo the remake, what did you think of Eva Green's performance?
@@chasehedges6775 I thought that Green delivered the best performance in the movie, as she conveyed her character's eventual warmness towards Farell. He was fantastic as always, and while the two children were decent, some of their line delivery felt flat and awkward.
@@trinaq That's cool! I wondered if she enjoyed wearing that acrobat costume. She looked so awesome wearing it.
Also, in regards to the girl and her acting, they should have casted Isabella Sermon or Isabella Moner, in my opinion. They are both better actresses
I also think they should have written the girl a a little better.
Don't make her wanting to be a scientist, how about have her desiring to have a role in the circus, like a trapeze artist and connecting with Dumbo.
@@chasehedges6775 She really did, she looked so divine! I agree with your assessment about the girl. She's played by Nico Parker, Thandie Newton's daughter, and while I dislike being too harsh on child performers, as they're just starting out, and they have plenty of time to grow into their craft, I wish that they'd given her a different storyline, or cast an actress who was actually American. 🐘👧
Not to mention the crows.
Mushu is not in the live action Mulan. (2020) Enough said.
Sad.
@@oxfordeducatedhighschoolhe6989 They took the songs out of the movie too.
:(
OH NO! Who got offended by dragons?! Wtf...
@@chatboulon743 No its because in Chinese folklore the female spirit guide is a Phoenix, not a dragon, lets be totally honest Disney weren't known for doing their research. This version of Mulan is going to be closer to the folk law from China, Which I think is a good thing. They have also put the instrumental versions of the songs in (or at the very least reflection)
they forgot that in dumbo that they literally had a black face clown 🤦♀️
Not complaining, but I'm a little surprised alcoholism didn't make the list or honorable mention.
Examples include "Pinocchio" (1940), "Dumbo" (1941) "Peter Pan" (1953), "Sleeping Beauty" (1959), "The Aristocats" (1970), and "Beauty and the Beast" (1991).
And the bootleg whiskey from “Alice Solves the Puzzle”. Censored because of Prohibition, and even today it would be controversial.
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.
In my correction, from Fantasia to Cars.
And the PC police will come after you for having the audacity to say "both genders" in 3...2...1...
In Dumbo they literally refer to African American people as dirty apes. I don't think its to sensitive of anyone to find that offensive.
Sounds about WHITE
Besides, parents need a joke here and there to enjoy the cartoons as much as the kids.
“Pink Elephants on Parade” and “When I See An Elephant Fly” are two of the best animated scenes of all time.
Jim crow has long been one of my fave Disney characters. In fact dumbo is prob one of my fave Disney films ever so I gotta agree with ya comment
Ditto, I enjoyed the Psychedelic pink elephants, and I always thought that the crows were like the coolest, it’s such a shame that they have to be associated with that part of history
I'm glad to see someone else who think those songs are absolutely amazing.
I never seen the crows as racist. I get how they could be seen as racist, but they are one of very few characters who actually are nice to Dumbo AND got him to fly! They were cool, smooth and actually helpful. Plus things like the Cosby kids speak and act like that and everyone loves them...
Listen to the song again:
When I see A elephant fly
Not "an" elephant.
The headlights thing, or Oedipus joke, etc... made me laugh haha. But yeah, the other ones are definitely.. not okay i guess💀
PS: just a request maybe: Top 10 Alyssa Edwards moments on rpdr? It was her birthday yesterday i think❤️🌟
Back then people werent offended by literally everything. All of this is pretty ridiculous.
The oedipus joke is amazing. And literally anyone who gets it has already heard the story so what's the deal. Also the cars headlights? What's wrong with that haha
Jonathan Fitzharris the girls are flashing themselves at McQueen it took me a bit to get it
The headlight flashing represents fangirls flashing their boobs at a celebrity.
Wow, that sounds like a really different time
@TheRapper10000 pretty sure the original comment is about the blatant racism and steretyping, not the adult humor
You Don't Say.
And then you realize Dumbo will be 80 years young next year
Hookah Time would only work in a modern Disney movie if they hire Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg to produce a proper remake (separate from the Tim Burton follow-up), and they cast Snopp Dogg as the Caterpillar.
9:01 Actually, that is referring to Native Americans, not "Indians". Native Americans and Indians are SO different and the fact that people place them in the same category is sooooo idiotic. I know because I'm part Native American.
I felt the Priest singing about lust in Hunchback of Notre Dame seemed to go too far for a kid's movie. Dumbo also had controversial scenes before the crows with Dumbo looking like he was having an acid trip.
Dude the scene where Dumbo is drunk is prolly the best part of the movie the song is awesome and the whole thing is trippy and beautifully animated
Just because it’s from a different time doesn’t mean it was ALL bad right?
Right! The classic disney had legendary and positive moments.
Yeah, just remove the racism and races stereotype
If anything, Pinocchio smoking and getting sick from it convinced me NOT to smoke! 🚬🤢
I loved the Song of the South, because it made me interest about the black history. Nwdays I do hope Disney makes a remake of this movie; bringing the true bittersweetness of the slavery of this moment. More realistic, but still charming
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.
👍
justin. Nature is not inclusive. You can’t change the natural ways of the universe. But hey...I can’t tell you what to do, so I’m just going to laugh at you snowflakes running around in circles. Enjoy!
@@CalmKitten184 being racist isn't nature lmao
Thank u for saying this Haujuah!!!!
Obviously Song of the South was gonna be number one. Because of the racism.
Song of the South isn’t racist. The main character Johnny LOVES Uncle Remus. He doesn’t care what color his skin is and Toby is his best friend!
Rebekah Robinson what happens after the movie isn’t up to Disney studios and actually Walt Disney himself fought to get the actor in for the premiere and failed.
I do t know what’s the big deal with representing those times of slavery. Forgetting is coming back to the same place, honoring and embracing is having a reminder to not making the same mistakes again.
I don’t know why people are so oversensitive this days, that’s not good at all, it’s like getting inside a fragile bubble 🤷🏻♂️
Glitch Lokison your a white man..telling me a black man..that a movie about slavery isn’t racist..holy fuck...
@@rebekahrdaydreamer That doesn't make the movie itself "racist."
I remember as a child I just couldn’t understand why The Indians in Peter Pan were red and I was very confused by it even more so on why Princess Tigerlily wasn’t red
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!
Talk about hypocrisy.
Should all of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” be on here??? Just saying
No. :-)
You're not supposed to talk about that movie

@@trinaq Yes, I love all the series but the 6th one is my favourite one! 💕
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!
A crow named Jim? Really?! This is the only thing I found to be truly offensive on this list. 😂😳😭
Genie jokes thank god Robin Williams isn't here to hear ya say that
Some of the moments from this list don’t apply. As the title implies, the moments had to be intentional back in the day. The Rescuers’ naked woman was a mischief by one of the animators and nearly no one spotted it.
And harmless, easy to miss jokes like the Oedipus line, or Genie’s honeymoon comment are just hidden adult jokes that would still work today.
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.
Im glad I grow up watching this and not the things that are now in tv 😔
Number 3 I dont mind coolest crows I've ever seen
Yeah but they could’ve made them a bird that isn’t associated with racist caricatures.
They wanted birds to help motivate Dumbo? Don’t make the crows and black stereotypes.
People need to stop getting offended by nothing.
Oxford Educated High School Head Master
It’s not nothing if was just as offensive by 1940s standards.
The crows were a bad idea that could’ve been prevented.
Same, I wish we could all see them the same way a kid growing up after the 60’s, just a bunch of really cool crows. We should all be happy that Disney has moved on with the times, and hope that all characters can just be seen as characters, not reminders of past mistakes.
All of the Disney+ things from like 1970 and earlier has the cultural depiction warning, even things with no racial content.
@TheRapper10000 racism was never okay. It's such a privilege to think hating people because of something they can't help was ever okay
Ahahaha! The “lit” joke in Cars was gold
All I learned from this is that there apparently was a Lady and the Tramp remake last year that I had never even heard of.
I think the Aladdin one probably would have still got through considering who the voice actor was, kind of known for his sense of humour.
"Considering where he is looking" well that is where her armor is
This is what pisses me off:
Almost all Siamese cats In cartoons portrays Asian stereotypes
The media of any film never uses Siamese cats because of its history with being a racist stereotype
I want to change that
I’m trying to make a tv show where the main character is a Siamese cat in England, in a fantasy setting,
I hope to break the unfortunate chain that this amazing breed of cat clapped on by bigger companies.
No one cares about "cat racism." Lol they are cats.
ANd russian cats portray russians and the basic street cats portray gangs and streetrats!
just a COMIC relif..
god's sake...
My fiance and I started watching all Disney films from the very beginning. We have just reached "Alice in Wonderland" and we came to a conclusion that the creators must have been on LSD or something to come up with certain scenes and ideas :D
It was 1951 so LSD wasn't yet a trending drug. But yes they must've been on something.
Some think Lewis Carroll, who wrote the Alice books, had experience with magic mushrooms. It is far from impossible. The Sixties did not invent drug trips.
"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.
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.
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.
Imagine how different times are today hone when most of these movies came out, as you look at some of the movies that are on the list like Cars and Mulan are still more recent movies, as a lot of the older movies will be more then 50 years old.
Honestly there's *ALOT* of adult themes in these movies I noticed this when I was 13-14 years old
There is nothing in any of these that bothers me. People are WAY to sensitive these days.
Fantastic they don't bother *you*. But if you watch the video, 6/10 of these videos note decades long umbrage with the content. So it isn't people being sensitive "these days".
I half agree, they don’t really bother me personally, but that doesn’t make them any less racist (from a time standpoint) still love all the movies though...
Better cancel whatever hurts or could hurt someone's feel feels!
They tried to cancel Speedy Gonzales as they automatically thought it was offensive to Mexicans, only for Mexicans to protest.
Puglady Mapotamus too*
A Laly many people are too sensitive these day’s
I always loved the crows in Dumbo and the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp.
“Disney hasn’t always been kind to Asians in their films” yeah until Mulan!
"People get offended so easily" I bet y'all are the first ones to fly into a rage when someone says something you don't like, in person or on the internet.
I can see the live action Pinocchio with the smoking and drinking scene. For a live action it would work and it would fit the edgie nature of those movies, for a cartoon movie it wouldn’t.
Cruella was smokin that good 🤣🌳🔥
the crows help dumbo to fly and is a catchy song and some how everyone forgets at the beging when building the circuis it looks like what is a bunch of black men working in the middle of the night in a storm singing we work all day and work all night
I wanted to sing and dance with “What Made the Red Man Red?”.
Ok I can see that the "I am Siamese" as a bit racist in some parts, but insanely? that's really pushing it.
I Get That Mushu Acting Creepy Was Definitely Bad,But he Isn’t Even Smart Enough to Know The Difference Between a Horse,&,a Cow
It wasn't even in the main video, but the line *"If I don't love it, I don't swallow"* made me chuckle 🥲
because people today are ninnies and over sensitive. John cleese said once you are offended by everything, that's the day comedy died
For the Dumbo part. Dumbo got drunk because some dumb clown put booze in the elephant's water. As for the crowd, after the mouse explained what Dumbo had been through, they were very sympathetic and kind, making them one of the nicest characters in the movie.
any old Disney movie would offend the snowflakes
When I was a kid, I watched a lot of cartoons and stuff in kids' movies that would be considered racist today. However, it didn't lead to me make fun of people of other ethnicities, because I knew the difference between cartoons and reality, and I knew how to treat people IRL! I thought that the Siamese Cat Song was just a fun little song, I had no idea that the crows in Dumbo were considered racist (I actually just thought they were annoying), and the "Why Is the Red Man Red" song was one I really didn't think much about (and BTW, read the original story of Peter Pan, if you REALLY want to see some racist descriptions of Native peoples; this Disney version actually softened up the treatment of Natives). And as for Song of the South, I wonder how many of the people criticizing it today have actually SEEN that movie? I have, and I honestly don't understand all the fuss about it. This film does NOT take place during the slavery period, but the RECONSTRUCTION era following the Civil War. Many of the slaves stayed on at the plantation because they had no money, no education, and nowhere else to go, and they stayed there because it was FAMILIAR. As for Uncle Remus, he was a character with a lot of warmth and tenderness, and he and the young boy genuinely cared for and respected each other. It's actually a pretty good film, if people would actually watch it for themselves! Too many people get offended over stuff these days! Unfortunately, we're also living in a time where a lot of people aren't being taught how to think for themselves, but only how to REACT to what other people tell them, and that's sad!
Personally I think these are all just nitpicks and people who have nothing better to do with their lives and just looking to stir up trouble.For most of these I can still barely understand the reference if at all.
I Never Sang”I am Siamese,if You Please”,But I Did Sing”Everybody Wants to be a Cat”
I've never had a problem with the crows in Dumbo. They're speaking "jive" which was common among jazz players of the time. Smh
I loved them as a kid. I had them as stuffed animals and took them everywhere with me. I loved their song and the way they talked.. my mom told me I would walk around talking like them everytime I finished watching it.
Funny how #1 is Song of the South-all of it. Yet Disney didn't shy away from using the animated characters from it to make one of its most popular theme park attractions in Splash Mountain.
Well, this got dated fast. They are replacing it with a Princess and the Frog attraction.
Because everybody is so sensitive in this pc culture!
