This is what drives me nuts about Disney. As if their being insidiously and pervasively sexist since Day #1 isn’t enough, they CUTESIFY everything to the point of nausea. When I was 6 and saw what they did to Alice in Wonderland, I hated it. “Bambi” curdled my blood. They did it to everything they touched. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Poca-fricking-hontas, for heaven’s sake! (As for what they did to Pooh, drawing and quartering is too good for them!) Now I’m old enough to understand what I sensed instinctively at age six and it enrages me no end to think of the sexist brainwashing they’ve perpetrated on American girls for the past 70 years. Yeah, I know, this is Pixar, but Disney owns Pixar and they pervert everything they touch. Now they’ve bought the Star Wars franchise. I shudder to think what they’re going to do to it. AARRGGHH! OK. I’m done ranting now.
This is wow.
