A while ago, there were some people protesting against disney, because they think disney only uses beautifull, strong, great, perfect characters for the role as hero/main character in their animated movies.
For my education, international communication management, I am doing a research on this topic. Now is my question to you can you give me your opinion on the following questions:
Do you think disney is using only perfect characters for their animated movies?
Is disney trying to create a perfect world in their animated movies?
Do you think children (or you) get influenced by the idea of 'the perfect world of disney', through watching disney's animated movies?
Thank you,

Hello Marjolein let me first start off by sharing my opinion with you on these people who said Disney was Creating a perfect world. Well I think they are ignorant and have no clue what they are talking about and they have not done thier reasearch well at least not very well. But hey like I said thats just my opinion.
Disney is by no means using a perfect characters all the time biggest example Quasimodo he was the Hunchback of NotreDame an ugly gace and a deformed body. He was the hero in that story he portrayed the one of the best messages that could ever be shared with a child its the inner beauty in a person that counts not the outside. Another Character who shows this is Beast from Beauty and the Beast. He was Hedious could scare anyone he too show inner beauty is what makes you special. And what about Little Nemo and his retared fin he was by no menas perfect. Those are just a few of the many examples that I know exist.
Disney in no way has fooled children into thinking the world is perfect. I could see how maybe back when the old classics were being made but in thier defense if you look into the history the time period in which the movie was being made people and especially children need a form of escape cause lets face it your only a kid once why worry them with wars and great depression. In a perfect world there would be no fights, No dis functional familys, and people would not have goals. I would say in a good amount of the Disney movies the main Characters are lacking a parent: Snow White No mother no Father *Step mom, Cinderella No Mother Father Dies step mother and 2 step sisters, In Bambi Children can hear the bullet that kills his mother. In the Lion King Simba watches his father die, Aladdin a poor street rat, Oliver and Comapny no body wants Oliver at first, arzan Pearents die even the head Gorilla, The very beginning of Nemo Coral dies, Brother Bear In the beginning of the move the oldest brother dies, and Lilo and Stitch that one is the best example a older sister bascially fighthing for the right to keep her younger sistter I mean the movie has a social worker and everything you see Lilo and get excluded from hanging with her friends and feel the pain anger and saddnes she is going through. From this is where the plot of each story begins. Does that sound like a perfect world to you?
By saying that children dont get influenced I would be lieing however they are not stupid they pick up the postive messages mre than anything. Yes they may question somethings they see however them mind of a child is pure and nothing but innocence growing up is when a child starts to realize the world is perfect. And alos depends on the realtionship they have at home with thier familys tyhey might already know what conflict and problmes feel like if anything Disney movies for those children might be a ray of hope that things will get better. And that if they work for what they want and do the right things thier Dreams can come true. Again a movie that comes to mind is Lilo and Stitch. Stitch was an evil experiment but he changed when he saw that there was so much more to the wolr dthen destroying things and hurting people right there a lesson to be learned.
Anyways I am really longwinded and I could go on and on if I wanted but I wont I hope these arguments help you
