Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

A few questions from a curious animation student - have you seen any Disney movies before? If your sons wanted to see one, would you let them? And finally, do you have this same attitude towards movies Pixar and Dreamworks releases?

Yes, I have seen many Disney movies over the years. My favorite character growing up was Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty. And no, I would not let them watch a Disney movie even if they wanted to. Just wanting to isn't a good enough reason for me.

Pixar and Dreamworks? I'm not exactly well-versed in which is which but I have a general awareness of the types of movies they release (Toy Story, Ratatouille, etc) and no, we don't watch those either. I will say that for those movies it isn't any moral or ethical issue, but simply that I (and my husband) don't enjoy them. Since our children watching them requires us to watch them, the kids don't watch them either.

I'm sorry, but you sound like a complete looney.

Oh noes! Some anonymous person on the internet doesn't approve of my stance on Disney cartoons! Whatever shall I do?

I watched horror movies and Disney as a kid.

o_O It cut me off. Seriously, people think kids are idiots. Yah, I watched horror growing up. And Disney.

You just seem mind numblingly up tight....about children's cartoons.

Your children wanting to watch them hardly means that you'll be forced to watch them, too. Why not at a friend's house? Do you find it harmful if you ever let them watch a G-rated animated movie?

It might have *gasp* HARMFUL MESSAGES! And then you'd have to actually TEACH a kid that these things aren't real and aren't always okay! Why do that when you can sanitize everything and make sure the only entertainment that's allowed is being preached to all the time?

Yes. You've figured me out. I refuse to let my children watch movies I consider sexist because I don't want to actually teach them anything. And I'd have gotten away with it, too if it weren't for you pesky anonymous commenters!

Man on man porn = not sexist and offensive to gay men
Disney Movies = sexist evil

This, all coming from someone with sevendeadlyfun in their name = priceless

Oh goodie. The ad hominem attacks portion of the argument. Well, seeing as you're anonymous, I'll have to skip the rational, reasoned parts of my usual reply and go for the big finish:

My children don't watch Disney. I'm not sure why this bothers you. I don't care. Have your own children and watch Disney all day, every day with them. Enjoy it, revel in it, do a Disney song and dance based on your movie watching. I will still have a Disney-free house.

First, are you actually advocating that I not supervise my children? That I send them to someone else and let that hypothetical someone else choose what they watch and monitor them while they watch it? Seriously?

Second, where is your dog in this fight? I don't let my children watch animated movies, particularly Disney movies. I didn't say ban Disney, it's the omg ebul! So I'm not real sure where your vehement reaction stems from. You like Disney? Enjoy your Disney.

I'm not doing any of that; I'm simply asking these questions out of curiosity. I'm planning on going into animation as a career and want to know more about why people do and don't like it in general. So please, there is no need for that tone.
