Last couple days Disney is on the all news, on TV on the Internet, on social media, and reason for that are the new rules that this company has.

As you all know Disney is making great cartoons that whole family watches and loves, for years. Many fairy tales were in Disney's movies and thanks to Disney we now love those fairy tales, but lately things are changing.

At the beginning of some Disney movies, that are very popular in the whole world, and that are loved by many generations, you can see warnings that say that those movies contain some messages, some stereotypes and racism.

Those are some very old movies and I am sure that you have seen them, I will now post here a list of those movies, and negative things that they contain.

Let's start.

  • Lady and the Tramp (1955). In this movie you can see two Siamese cats, Si and Em, are presented with the anti-Asian stereotypes. Also, in the shelter for anymals you can see some dog breeds that are presenting countries and people from countries where they are coming from, on not very good way. Chihuahua Pedro is from Mexico and greyhound Boris is from Russia.

  • Aristocats (1970). In this movie again we can see Siamese cat, shown as a person from Asia, actually as a caricature of a person from Asia.

  • Dambo (1941). In this movie you can see a group of crows who are helping Dambo to learn how to fly, and those birds should represent African Americans.

  • The Jungle Book (1968). In this book king of monekys is singing jaz, is lazy and represents African American. I think that I should not say more about this.

  • Peter Pan (1953). In this movie Indians are called 'redskins'. They are making fun of Indians because of their skin color.

  • Song from the South (1946). You cannot find DVD with this movie, and it is not that easy to find it anywhere. The title of this movie is saying us what it is about. It is about South, and you can see the year when it was made. It is about people, from Africa, who are working on cotton plantations. They were slaves, and in this movie they are presented as very happy, they are singing.

As you maybe noticed all those movies are very old and during that period of history, people were still thinking that people with white skin are better than other people, just because they have white skin.

If you ask me, maybe it is good to show to children how bad it is to dislike someone just because he has different skin color than you. Nobody should be a slave, nobody should be a servant.

Children should see that. Children have to understand that. To accept that, to think it is normal to respect everyone, no matter what is his or hers skin color.

This part of new rules I personally support, I think that this is important.

Next thing I would love to talk about is Disney policy about LGBT people and people who are coming from other minorities.
Every second characher, which means that 50% of Disney characthers will be minority members.

This made people express their opinions on the Internet and I personally noticed that many people think that this decision will lead to very bad things.

Many people think that children should not be watching those cartoons. On the otrher hand, many people think that children who are different should see that it is okay to be different and, children who are not members of minotiry will learn that those people are normal, and that they deserve to be accepted.

I would really love to see what do you think about this, so please share your opinion in the comments below.
