"claims the Jungle Book character King Louie is racist"
It's kinda funny he says that, he was actually originally supposed to be played by Louie Armstrong (thus the name "King Louie") but the producers thought the idea of black man playing a talking ape might not go over too well with audiences (Italian singer Louie Prima was chosen instead)

It's a good thing nobody is making this toddler watch Disney movies so he can just shut his snowflake mouth.

Why should I care what some student thinks?
Sure, there is some horribly outdated and racist stuff in classic Disney, but they were still well made and well told stories. Often beautifully animated and filled with memorable performances, songs and scenes. Also, new Disney has nothing on the villains in classic Disney.
It would be interesting to see how many people of certain races were or are actually offended by the stuff in the old Disney movies like the crows in Dumbo or the cats in Lady and the Tramp etc.
The depiction of the Native Americans in Peter Pan is cringe-inducing, but the movie around that is good.
People have this very sensitive attitude now and can't look at the past as the past. Things were different in the past.

First, glad I got to put my Adblock back on. That site is horrid!
Second, she needs to chill. Those movies were made at certain times, and yeah, for some of them, they haven't aged well. Song of the South was controversial a couple of decades ago. But I don't think they ought to be banned or removed from circulation. We removed these things, and we forget. As art forms, the animation in most of them is wonderful! She just needs to grow the fuck up. I'm so tired of hearing these very young people dis things that were made decades ago. They don't understand that as late as the 60's, women didn't have many rights, and civil rights did not exist. You view things understanding when they were made. You don't necessarily have to agree with the viewpoint.

No. The Jungle Book was the second movie I watched last week on Disney+ and I was singing along to "I Wanna Be Like You". Screw her.

I thought it was a black entertainer doing the voice! Not Louie Armstrong though.

Just for the record, King Louie was based on Louis Prima, who supplied his voice and was Italian-American. This stupid fucking bitch has literally no idea what she's talking about.

Neither. They are & yet the loud outrage is a tad out of place. These aren't films in the works for 2020, they were made when they were made. Disney World isn't having racist characters handing out candies to toddlers in 2019. Peter Pan is my #41 all time & yeah, it's not up to date either. Do we burn all copies of Mark Twain's works?

Wait, wait, just fucking wait a damn minute, you mean to tell me that a load of films made in a non PC climate, primarily aimed for American audiences of the time, that they may not 100% of the time be socially and politically acceptable here now in 2019? Well I for one just cannot believe it, and oh thank the heavens for this young woman for finally speaking out about such things, things that no one before her had ever noticed or brought to the worlds attention, she truly is a bright and shining light in the world we must all praise and sing songs of for her bravery and integrity to be the lone voice calling out this evil...stupid fucking cunt.
No shit they are problematic in todays culture because they weren't made for todays audiences, and every fucking gripe she has made, well all the valid ones have been openly spoken about since before this dumb bitch was even bloody born, does she honestly think no one has ever noticed this before? also the glad she's grown out of wanting to be a Disney princess thing is hilarious, like yes you should have, not just for the fact that you are no longer 6 years old or because the older films are outdated but also because every single Disney Princess has their lives in danger in every pissing movie.
