Is Disney Rasist
Is Disney actually hutting our children? In the years growing up as a child it is practically impossible to find children that did not watch or claim to have a favorite Disney movie of their own. With young children being so easily influenced by what they see on TV this could be a problem. One major cause could be parents working more hours than they have in the past. The result of working is parents having less time to spend with their children. And because parents don’t have the extra time to spend with their children they look for other ways to entertain their children while they are busy. One of the most common ways of entertaining children is turning the TV on, whether it is movies, TV programs or cartoons. Children are exposed to a great deal of violence, sex and, messages to learn from. According to the University of Michigan Health System kids watch on average 32 hours of television and videos a week (television and children 2010). The decision of what to let children watch while during those 32 hours starts to become a question as well. One obvious idea would be allowing children to watch Disney movies. But why Disney movies over the movies made by other popular film studios. What is it that makes Disney movies any better than those other movies? Well according to any other movie or that are Since 1938 Disney has made over two hundred different movies. The first movie titled, “Snow White” rolled out onto the shelves to the adoring hungry youth. It was a huge hit. Since then Disney has claimed about sixty films that are “child friendly.” The question is what makes a Disney movie child friendly? According to Parents Magazine, “Disney Movies have fun, are light hearted, have dark and depressing moments when needed, but are still cute, yet some are surprisingly deep or have twisted turns. They all ultimately end on a good positive note that boosts the self esteem of the viewer and leaves a warm fuzzy feeling inside.” (Milvy,”The 50 Best
