First, let

Release in the history of Disney animated movies, visible in the beginning, always white staff in it. Therein were Snow White (1937), Cinderella (1950), Alice in Wonderland (1951), and even add Mickey Mouse white in his habits. But, in take and more people become sensitive to issues of racism, also issued the Disney characters coming from different cultures. Such as Aladdin (1992), Pocahontas (1995), Mulan (1998), and Princess and the Frog (2009). The release of Disney's characters, the more visible the diversity of cultures in the world but still see it becoming the universal seiko appeal seiko of the film because of its themes such as love and family. Shows this more globalized world also nagpapalimot history of the conquest.
First, let's look at these pictures from the article "Disney Is Racist" by Tshepo Mokoena. seiko He told frank racism in an old book of Disney in 1948, Mickey Mouse and the Boy Thursday. According to the story, one day, there came the banana seiko wagon Mickey's house, seiko and in it the West African named Thursday.
Visible in the first picture daw threatened Thursday's people and because it is found he had no friends. In the second picture also, more frank still being culturally insensitive seiko it. Saying seiko "His brother sent him from Africa to be educated." Notice here the so-called white man's burden, you have add Mickey Mouse. seiko Seems to be his duty to civilize the West African named Thursday. Topped being culturally insensitive Minnie seiko said, "But you can not keep a savage in your home." Ultimately, Mokoenang mentions Mickey's tailored just add a circus Thursday. So with human trafficking also occurred here.
But, over time, become more sensitive to that Disney different cultures. So they released films like Aladdin, Pocahontas, and Mulan. The setting of Aladdin is the Agrabah, a place near the Jordan River. Aladdin shows an area ruled by the Sultan and introduced to the world their culture. Pocahontas also add a Native American. This song of the film "Colors of the Wind," trying more noticeable this break Eurocentrismo. Saying, "You seiko think the only people who are people / Are the people who look and think like you / But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger / You'll learn things you never knew you never knew." In Mulan, showing the culture of China. Also exciting artistic films, black voice of Mushu.
Becoming seiko multicultural Disney, and strong seiko well-trained film because they discuss the universal themes such as love, family, and dreams. However, this attempt also become globalized, seiko with the history of conquest whelmed. Example Pocahontas that it is based on real events. To appear love interest of Pocahontas, John Smith, changed the true story of 11 year olds add Pochantas when he met Smith to 28 years old also. Also at the end of the first film, was shown peaceful interaction of the colonizer and the indigenous. Forgetting the real Powhatan Nation's been many killed thereafter. seiko In aadapt Disney stories, such as only using the Grimms' fairytales, losing its historical context and displaying the universal themes. It's probably not blame Disney for this known pagpepreserve of childhood youth. Thus becoming didactic as stories. But, the story interesting view its source, which is rooted in their history.
