That's okay, Junior, we're just going to put the Lion King away for a little while (puts DVD in trash as kid cries, screaming). There, see? He's just going to sleep. Now let's go sit over here and talk about why mommy put the Lion King to sleep (kid still screaming). See, honey, the Lion King is a movie that is made by bad, evil people. Even though the Lion King is cute and the cartoons are nice to look at, the people who drew the animals want to do VERY BAD things to you. They want you to HATE yourself, and you know what? These people are EVERYWHERE WE LOOK. They aren't just in the Lion King, they're on your school bus, in your classroom, and in the cafeteria. They might even be your teacher. They might even be people who call you their friend and say you're pretty. Even when they say you're pretty, they're just saying those things to make themselves feel good. What they're really trying to say is that they HATE you and they want to HURT you!! (kid screams again, now scarred for life) Now let's talk about how Mulan says bad things about Asian people, how The Incredibles reinforces stereotypes of female inferiority, about how Buzz Lightyear destabilizes the corporate-controlled capitalist economy that subjugates the Black race, and how Finding Nemo is homophobic. And don't worry, mommy will tell you about these big words after you eat your bean pie, child. Power to the people!!

Sounds like a conversation I might have had with my mother when I was little - only I would have been telling HER all that stuff!
the lion king is my favorite movie.. disney movies do have subliminal messages though, in the lion king when Simba falls down in the sand after chillin with Timon and Pumba looking at the stars the dust thats goes in the air spells the word sex. you have to pause it though, and in Alladin, when Alladin is on Jasmins balcony and the tiger is growling and chasing him off, the picture goes from alladin waving the tiger back, to the tiger growling, you can hear Alladin say good teenagers take off your clothes. its pretty fucked.
sex drugs and violence they know about, sterio types, visiousness and narrow mindedness, I don't need to tell you about !!! mamma loves you baby and daddy loves you too well the sea may look warm to you baby the sky mayt look blue.. but ohhhhhhhhhhh i don't think pinkey's gave up on the world .... I DID!!!!
that didnt make me laugh. it just annoyed me. i think if i ever knew anyone that just took the fun out of cartoons like that i would be sad.. that just sucks. specially for the kid who just wants to watch some funny movie that happens to be cartoons.. lost my train of thought.
