Alt-Disney

Yeah, this kinda makes sense:

Children should get lessons in school on how to build strong relationships to counteract ‘Disneyfied’ portrayals of love

Ask any child their favorite film, and there is quite a high chance they will name a Disney movie, like ‘Beauty and the Beast’ or ‘Aladdin’.

However, experts believe that these films are giving them the wrong idea about what a healthy relationship looks like.

In ‘Aladdin’, the hero whisks Princess Jasmine away from restrictive palace life, while ‘Cinderella’, ‘Snow White’, and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ all involve a young girl being saved by a ‘handsome prince’.

Yeah, in real life, Jasmine’s father’s security police would hunt down the couple, shoot the insolent little pup and take the now-deflowered houri  back to her father’s palace where she’ll be whipped for her adultery and beheaded for bringing shame to the family name.

Let’s not even talk about the “handsome savior prince” scenario.

Me, I think that Disney shouldn’t stop at “happily ever after”, but use their characters for some real-life advice, e.g.

Dealing With Nosy Room-Mates

 

Workplace Sexual Harassment

 

Everyday Grooming Tips

 

Building A Relationship With Your Step-Family

 

Finding That Perfect Sugar Daddy

 

Seeing as we’re living in modern times, and given that it’s Woke Disney:

Inter-Species Relationships

 

Sharing The Great Outdoors

 

Things To Do While Waiting For Your Prince To Come

 

When Your Prince Finally Comes

 

There ya go.  Coming soon [sic]  to a screen near you.

  1. A child should learn how a couple builds a loving relationship from his or her parents, not from school nor disney.

  2. With regards, Kim, I don’t think we needed that posting.
    Plenty of places to get that when I’m in the mood.

  3. Disney can go rot. I hope the higher up executives get the pox and live in misery. They are a rotten company that never should have received special treatment when they built that people trap run by a rate back in the 50s or 60s

    maybe the alt Disney could have been below the fold.

    JQ

  4. The original Disneyland as envisioned and built by Walt was a wholesomely different world. I was lucky enough to get out there in ’58. The place was literally out in the middle of a California field next to Knott’s Berry Farm.
    If Walt was still alive he would be going through the new Disney offices in a flame-throwing tank and feeding the remains to the boas in the ‘glades.

    If Walt was still alive he would go through the current Disney offices/management in a flame-throwing tank and feed the remains to the boas in the ‘glades.
