The movies and the cartoons from when I was a kid, such epics like The Lion King, Alladin, Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, The Mickey Mouse Show, Duck Tales. Sure, sometimes there would be an epic battle at the end of those movies between good and evil. Isn't that "lesson learned" enough for a cartoon? Do the cartoons of today need to teach kids colors and how to count? That's what school and daycare is for you dumb fucks! Steamboat Willie is more entertaining then the crap they put on today. Jake and the Neverland Pirates?? Back in the day Captain Hook would be trying to put his hook in Peter Pan's jugular...now all he does is basically cry about 3 kids who keep outsmarting him over and over again while calling them "Puny Pirates." I feel sick sometimes watching this garbage. Chip and Dale were just playing with a bouncy ball....are you kidding? Chip and Dale would be plotting how to steal the ball and fuck shit up in the old days.....now the closest thing the Mickey Mouse show has to a villain is Pete, who basically just helps the rest of these morons count. Hey Disney Channel, our kids are educated just fine, it's called SCHOOL YOU CHILDHOOD RUINING FUN STOMPING ASSHOLES!!!
And I HAVE to watch these cartoons and pretend they're awesome, because my 3 year old loves them....and only because it's not a choice, it's a lack of options. Sure, I could change it to Spongebob on Nick, but then I would be forced to murder myself after about 5 minutes. I'd love to hold Spongebob under fresh water...let's see if he can make my eardrums bleed after THAT!
Back to Disney....every conflict in every story is resolved in a friendly, soft resolution with absolutely no climax...it's storytelling 101. Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner never had that problem. Sure, you knew a safe would fall on the coyote's head or he would launch himself into a mountain...but even though you knew he'd always lose, at LEAST there would be a resolution to the story. Triumph and failure. Good overcoming Evil. Tom and Jerry? Jerry always outsmarted Tom and Tom would wind up getting a bomb in his face or something like that. You know why that happened? Because Tom tried to EAT Jerry. What would YOU do? Once again, good triumphing over evil. How can this be a BAD lesson?
Here's an idea...just a small thought. Be a good parent!!!!!! TEACH your kids good from bad. If you let the T.V. teach your son about violence....scratch that. If you let the T.V. or movies or video games teach your kids ANYTHING. You ARE a bad parent. It's very simple. Instill good values in your children, let them know that what they see on T.V. isn't real, and there you go. Your kid will grow up just fine. YOU are your kids biggest idol, not fake-ass Mickey Mouse OR Scar from the Lion King. Their parents are their role models, and they WILL listen to you, (or they should be institutionalized.) I'm not saying kids are perfect throughout their elementary years and teenage years, but if you parent them, they will share your values. If you let them just do whatever you want, they'll probably end up as assholes. Tell them about condoms, it's ok. Don't let them stay up late. Tell them about how drugs and alcohol are very bad. Encourage them to play sports or dance and socialize and follow their dreams. This isn't fucking Dr. Phil shit, it's common sense. There are too many shitty parents out there, and corporations....EMPIRES like Disney are crumbling beneath our feet because they don't want to be responsible for the demise of the human race. Give me a break.
Or better yet, give me back the Roadrunner, Tom, Jerry, and Simba.
