I sometimes think criticizing Disney as a whole is a mistake, because it's a rather large company that branches into several different studios. It's easy to get caught up in bashing the whole company because there are a lot of negative things that come from the "Disney" brand.

A lot of major Disney studios are very much a boys club and they are very sexist and racist. That does not mean they aren't capable of good things here and there.

But mostly Disney, all of Disney, follows the money. For some reason small kid's television is a lot more progressive then a lot of the animation for older kids. I think in that way, Doc McStuffins is just following the trend of what is going on in young kid's animation right now, basically that it's okay to have minorities as a main character. Of course it's possibly Disney wanted to do something positive, but Doc McStuffins also became a huge hit this year and makes them tons of money. Disney loves money. And when diversity brings them money, Disney will be diverse.

Basically, it's a complex issue and I'm not even really explaining it well.

Well, that and Doc McStuffins isn't a Disney series any more than Totoro is a Disney movie.
