![]() ![]() Not only did this underline that fact that Disney have no partners -only victims, it meant that we experienced the steady decline of traditional 2D animation, in almost all mediums. Partnering for the Toy Story trilogy in 1995 under assurances that the small studio would still stand alone, ten years on we were hearing the inevitable news that Disney had bought Pixar out completely. Only significantly less fun than that.ĭisney found the future of the box office in the talents of a studio called Pixar, and decided that they wanted it. It’s like taking a visit to a Pagan festival that somehow got some serious funding behind it. Yet families flock to this artificial, dreadful excuse for a Magical Experience every year, simply so that Disney merchandise can be flogged to maximum potential. I was forced to go there when I was seven years old and I hated every terrifying, plastic minute of it. ![]() Making Money From Films Isn’t Enough For ThemĪh, Disneyland. They can’t all turn out like Kurt Russell now can they?Ĥ. And that pressure inevitably drives these Mickey Mouse club idols to go off the rails in an orgy of drugs, scandal, sex and self-destruction. But of course, they are just personas perpetuated by a need to make money. These celebrities are initially praised and worshipped as excellent role models that instil a sense of virginal Christian values into their public personas. Add the honorary Disney movie débuts of Lindsay Lohan, Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, and it becomes clear they’re creating an army of celebrities with ties to their organisation. Trust me, it’ll happen.Įntire careers originated and were moulded in The Mickey Mouse Mafia – sorry, Club – from Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Kerri Russell, Justin Bieber and most bizarrely of all, Ryan Gosling. Mickey M’s logo along the side of a missile. I dread the day they decide to start developing their own nuclear weapons program. With their entire net worth, Disney could be easily classified as its own small country. Endlessly plowing the public domain for ideas before building iron-clad fences around characters that were originally free for anyone to enjoy (Pocahonus, Peter Pan, Hercules, the list goes on…), Disney send out their message loud and clear – Do Not Mess With The Mouse. Mickey Mouse’s face stares out at you from every conceivable dark corner on this planet, and their team of lawyers are famous for coming after anyone – and we include Florida Day Care Centres on this list – who they think might mess with their globe-crushingly-powerful brand. They Want To Take Over The (Whole New) Worldĭisney is one of the largest corporations in the world, generating billions of dollars in revenue every year from their surplus of television programming, cinematic ventures, merchandising, music, board games, toys, food brands, clothing lines and promotions. See Dumbo’s backwards speaking crows as an example of the worst kind of stereotyping and Donald Duck in a cartoon where he so sweetly portrays life as a Nazi.Ģ. There is also the subliminal messages woven into their films that suggest Disney’s leanings towards Satanic iconography and certain, shall we say, racial stereotypes and prejudices towards black people and Jews, most recently parodied by Family Guy. There has been so much sexual imagery weaved into Disney’s back catalogue from The Little Mermaid’s “dildo” under-the-sea tower to Sex written in the stars above Simba in The Lion King to Jessica Rabbit’s lady garden being Marilyn Monroe’d it could be argued that most of the Disney animators, or perhaps at least a select few, really are a bunch of dirty old pervs. If you thought Tyler Durden splicing in a frame of an erect penis into a children’s animated movie was far-fetched, think again. Behold the truth of Walt et al, and bring that whiskey we talked about. Whatever keeps them off the whiskey, right? The thing is, once you scratch off the smiley surface of Mickey Mouse and his alarmingly un-trousered friends, the ugliness beneath it all is difficult to ignore. The fact is, Disney have laid claim to generations of kids – as teacher, entertainer, ruler and spiritual guide – and we never really batted an eyelid about it. Every time one of Walt “hey, freeze me once I’m dead, kewl?” Disney’s movies got released I would witness a steady, endless stream of screeching, messy, unruly little children hyped up on sugar turn a cinema screen into their own personal playground and my own private hell. As a man who used to work part-time at a cinema, I have as good a reason to hate Disney as much as anyone. ![]()
