I watched Disney’s original Peter Pan with my family tonight, as we’ve instituted a Friday movie night for Henry.
Man, this is one racist, sexist movie. My wife and I were both cringing during the scenes with the Indians. And save for Mrs. Darling, I don’t think there’s a single girl in the story who isn’t trying to kill another girl over Peter — despite his not really giving a shit about any of them.
And now Hook seems even more ridiculous.
So strange Disney considered this happy kiddie fare. This shit is dark.
Have you seen 101 Dalmations (mean lady wants to kill puppies to wear their skins), or The Rescuers?
I really liked Hook, but I doubt it stands up.
All the old Disney is hard to watch these days. None of it aged well.
We watched Dumbo and were horrified.
Dumbo yikes
Mickey Schulz Not recently.
I remember Snow White scaring the hell out of me as a small child.
A lot of older Disney is just, it was a different, way more openly racist time.
The Aristocats was…ugh.

It’s kinda funny that Disney will draw the line at Song of the South, but these other films are cherished classics.
