On November 4, 2013 I watched the documentary: "Mickey Mouse Monopoly" and I was astonished by some of the things I saw in there...
Before watching the documentary I can say that I loved Disney and after watching it...well, I still LOVE Disney. It's not something so easy to "hate" or question, after all this is my childhood! I have gone to Disney world two times in my life, the first one I was like 7 years old and just big enough to get on the "moving cups". The second time I was big and got on every ride, first row if I could! Everything is beautiful and you think you are big but when you go to Magic Kingdom you just become a little girl AGAIN! I was like 15 years old and I got excited when I saw the Mickey Mouse/ Minnie Mouse house again, and when I saw the princesses I thought I was going to die from emotion! I mean, hello, I am 15 years old and I'm excited about "un-real" animals and princesses...but it's not something I could control, it is my childhood memories.
My initial reaction after watching the documentary was like: "jum, they really don't have any hispanics in their movies but the dog, interesting". That was literally the first thing I thought after finishing it, after that I was just astonished by all of the media Disney controls and it made me think, "what is their goal? To make more money or to literally control what people see/think". I learned that not everything is as it seems and that there are some things that are subliminal in the movies. I would not approach this topic on the future, this was knowledge for me but that's it, there's nothing that will make me change my thinking towards Disney. Maybe it is all commercial and they are telling little girls to be princesses and to show love to their "violent man" and that will change him, and when you look at it from that point of view it's sick to be showing that to children BUT I think life has a way of showing you (early in life) that fairy tales don't exist...so' why take away something that's like "an escape" from real life when real life will always rule over the fairy tale? Wether those movies are prejudicial for children or not it depends on the education and valors that child is thought by its parents.
