"10 Most Controversial Disney Movies (& Why They Should Be Reimagined Today)"
https://www.cbr.com/controversial-disney-films-reimagined/
Okay, there's a lot to disagree with here.
"The Aristocats" Had Some Problematic Racial Stereotyping
Well, at least it was a cat and not a human.
But naturally, they would have to do things differently if there was a remake.
Even so, I don't see how criticizing older movies for such things is fair.
We have to learn that times change and that things were different in the past.
The Depiction Of Indigenous People Was Abhorrent In "Peter Pan"
But what if we see them as figments of the imagination of three kids from Edwardian London?
They happen to be inhabitants of a fantasy land and not real Native Americans.
But yeah, that is clearly not how a modern adaption of the story would represent them.
Still, it is yet again an opportunity to learn about history and discuss old racial stereotypes.
"Hercules" Should Coincide With Mythology
How would that be possible though?
It is not like Disney could show us how Zeus slept around or that Hercules killed his own children.
Modern Viewers Have Found "The Fox And The Hound" Sexist
But it's clear that Amos Slade isn't supposed to be a very likable character, so he wouldn't be a role model.
But I must agree that giving the widow a proper first name would have been nice...
"Pocahontas" Was Strewn With Inaccuracies
Well, the movie was based on the legend about Pocahontas rather than on real history.
And how exactly did it romanticize the European invasion, when it clearly showed that it was problematic?
"Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs" Is Overall Problematic
What is wrong with being a housekeeper and a caregiver?
And thinking of the kiss and the dwarfs that way is just overanalyzing a fairytale for no good reason.
"The Little Mermaid" Had A Problematic Message
No, it didn't.
Ariel expressed a wish to live on land already before she had laid eyes on Eric.
"Sleeping Beauty" Has One Of The Most Problematic Storylines
But I read somewhere that not getting an invitation would have been a great insult in Medieval times.
So I guess that a male villain could have reacted in the same way.
And we shouldn't forget that the movie has three likable powerful female characters in the good fairies.
And again, isn't it pointless to overanalyze a kiss in a fairytale like that?
