Upon the death of Walt Disney, the Disney organization was slowly, slowly, piece-by-piece transformed, taken over, and transmogrified into the very thing that Walt Disney despised all his life.
It is now a shameless organ for all that is vile and wrong and ugly in Western society today. How long before we see a Disney feature: “David Loves Goliath”?
(apologies to John Kass)
Not long, i say: no doubt it is already on the drawing boards.
Disney Sucks! Don’t let your kids anywhere near any movies made by this child molestering organization.
Yeah, but that little table lamp is a communist!!!
; )
> Hyperbole Alert? The Pixar films are great.
Toy Story was just tolerable. All the rest suck.
Toy Story II was superior to the original. Wall E was one of the best American films of the last few years.
What exactly is the problem here?
I don't get my news on domestic or world affairs from Disney.
Not from hollywood.
Nor the entertainment industry generally.
In fact, I don't even rely on the "documentary" channels. They have degenerated into "godzilla" fantasy channels so far as I can see, even National Gographic, the History and the Science channels.
So what's the problem, exactly?
Wow. Glad you're not a movie critic. Are you always this grouchy, or is it just today?
Seriously, Pixar films are some of the only animated works that I will even bother with.
Monsters, Inc. was great.
> Are you always this grouchy, or is it just today?
In truth, I am quite grouchy today. Toothache. And Disney still sucks!
> Seriously, Pixar films are some of the only animated works that I will even bother with.
I’ve always got time for Popeye, Bugs Bunny and Donald Duck (esp. WW-II-era), Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry, Wile E Coyote — a few others. Rocket Robin Hood.
Pixar? Pales in comparison to that which has gone before.
It’s as good as any animation of the last 45 years or so.
I have to agree. Walt Disney made Disneyland so children had a clean, safe place to go. He had taken his daughters somewhere and had been appalled at what he saw. Now Disney World has “Gay Day”. Mr Disney would be livid.
It exposes the Clintons in the lead up to 9/11.
I also love the classic WB cartoons, but if you don't own them just try finding them on the tube these days (maybe on somewhere).
I'm commenting more about the feature length animated movies of this current era. In that class, I don't see anyone measuring up to Pixar (at least yet). I'm not all that hot about Disney myself. The one Disney movie (partly animated) that I would love to see again is "Song of the South", but the PC Nazis have banned it from public consumption. I was fortunate to get to see it in a theater as a child.
Song of the South was wonderful!
Definately not!
I have to call a Deception Alert on your agenda. The Pixar films are amusing, but lacking in value, and intellectually defiling to the max.
Defender of friends of terror?
You appear to be part of the problem.
My agenda is having good taste. The ‘Toy Story’ films and ‘Wall E’ are some of the best filmmaking to come out of Hollywood in the last 15 years or so. As for ‘intellectually defling’ Wall E recalls the work of Jacques Tati.
Absolutely. "Zippity-do-dah!"
What brings so many of you liberals here?
The front page clearly identifies this as a conservative site.
