Dude, which classic Disney movie had the princess at age 14? I assume you're referring to Snow White based on the Brother's Grimm fairy tale. The Disney version couldn't be more sanitized if you tried. The original tales were dark AF.

The original movie? I legitimately have no memory of that.
Quote:I think the anti-woke crowd are lamenting that Disney needs to go back to teaching "wholesome values" not so much saying that Disney should make societally-neutral content which they never have. Personally, I think Disney really did a lot to make having dead parents seem appealing to kids. I mean, what percentage of Disney characters have both parents living? I guess that was the diplomatic way to get out of a marriage or responsibility without sinful divorce or breaking up a traditional family unit. Disney was the original Forensic Files.
Not a huge Disney fan myself, but I can't watch one of the classic movies, or the new golden age (e.g. Little Mermaid, Aladdin, BatB) and glean a political message from them. My nephews are young, so I saw them quite a bit in the past few years.
Quote:Anywho, the real takeaway from this is that DeSantis just isn't Trump. Trump would have asked for donations to fight Disney's child-grooming agenda and then pocketed a quarter of a billion bucks and then said he made Disney cry and kiss his ass and that he won, DeSantis actually got into a ridiculous legal battle instead. Amateur.
You cheeky monkey.
