Description
A little sth I had on my mind for a while and finally decided to share it. I think it speaks for itself, but I will explain it a bit just in case.As you may know, these Disney films are the ones that have characters that are NOT white. And are also some of those that are forgotten.
Not only that, but they used to have some merchandise stuff of their own, but they're not around anymore. For example, we used to see Mulan, Pocahontas and Jasmine in the Disney Princess line-up. Now? Not even Jasmine who is OFFICIAL princess is not around. Heck, even Mulan and Pocahontas are concidered PRINCESSES according to the Disney Wiki. So why the flying fuck aren't they in the freaking princess line-up? Oh, and Tiana. I never, EVER saw a single freaking object themed on her movie, NOT EVEN A FREAKIN' DOLL! I mean, come on, the movie was good, it was critically acclaimed, as well as being considered by some as the best Disney movie since The Lion King (Take THAT, Frozen!) and it did well at the box office. A FUCKING BOX OFFICE! IT DID WELL ENOUGH TO GET AT LEAST SOME STUFF THEMED ON IT!!Β
As for Pocahontas and Mulan, I have some stuff themed on those, but that was back in the '90's and early 2000's. Heck, I even still have the freakin' VHS's of those two, a Pocahontas doll (which you could've seen on my Pocahontas collection pic) and two Mulan toys back when Disney had a contract with McDonalds. Now? I can't find a single doll or even a story book. Granted, when I am in Serbia I get to see the soundtracks in shops, but that's it.
As for Lilo and Stitch-Ok, Ik there will be dozens of you who will say that Stitch is everywhere etc. etc. Id give a fuck about that, considering that Stitch is not Stitch without Lilo. I really don't give a crap about the freakin' show where Stitch is the star and instead of Lilo there is a random Japanese chick. I'm sorry, but No. Just No! Just go watch the original movie or its sequel or even the original show. Yk, just anything other than the new stuff.
Emperor's New Groove-Seriously? One of Disney's best comedies (along with Hercules), it is considered by some to be the best Disney film since Aladdin and it nowadays doesn't get any sort of merchandies? Not even a single toy or a story book? Or any form of attention at all? Come on, people, you know it deserves better than that.
Brother Bear-Jeez... This one lost it's popularity as quickly as The Emperor's New Groove. This one also used to have some merchandise stuff of it's own too. In fact I still have two DVD's, a soundtrack and a coloring book. But, I just want to see it being around. Yk, just like many others. I want it to be given attention.
Aladdin-One of my favorite Disney movies (along with Brother Bear, Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Lion King, Tarzan and Pocahontas). It really breaks my heart with what they've done to this one. I mean, they didn't do any new shit shows or a shitty sequel whatsoever, but... *sigh* I said it a few times before and I will say it again. Β This movie is the highest grossing film of 1992 (it even managed to beat Muppets Christmas Carol that was released around the same time), it's one of Disney quite few movies to have 90% and up positive reviews (it has 92% positive reviews while Frozen has ONLY 89%), it spawned TWO FUCKIN' SEQUELS, a TV series, several games (most notably SEGA and NES games, Activity Center and Aladdin and Nasira's Revenge), a Broadway musical it even got a crossover episode with Hercules in Hercules TV show (Hercules and the Arabian nights) and he is a no. 1 greatest Disney hero on the official Top 25 Greatest Disney Heroes. So WHY THE FUCK HE ISN'T TREATED AS SUCH?! Why isn't HE everywhere in stores? Why?! He used to have two different dolls (one including Abu figure and the other including plush Genie) and it had a few of its storybooks, so why doesn't he have them now? Granted, he and Jasmine got featured in Disney Infinity, it got a new Broadway musical and I can see Nasira's Revenge a few times in stores... But is that really saying that much?
The worst thing about these 7 movies is that they all have characters that are NOT WHITE!! That's right, It's how the title says, DISCRIMINATION IN ANIMATION!!
Look at all the princesses that are in the line up. Why aren't Mulan, Tiana, Jasmine and Pocahontas then? Simple, because they are not white! They are fucking discriminated! It is believed that no one wants them and wouldn't buy them!
Do you guys want this?!

WhiteCattheheroqueen In reply to Blockdasher91 [2015-06-20 08:57:13 +0000 UTC]
indeed. Aladdin is now considered controversial because it's considered racist towards Arabs. when I watched AniMat's Top 10 Controversial cartoons, I was: "... Are you serious? That's bullshit." Like, Positive characters are lighter skined and looking nice and the villains are darker skined and grotesque. Last time I looked the images up, they are both the same light of skin. Sure, thieves in the third movie and Gassim in the first movie are pretty ugly, but that doesn't mean all the villains in the whole franchise are ugly.

Indeed. I understand nobody wanted to be looked like a fool.
But hey, nobody ever said it's ment to be racist. It's only just a fiction film.Β

Disney seems to think like that now, since it feels like it kicked the non-white characters out

For instance, Aladdin, Mulan and Princess and the Frog were successful, but Mulan "earned more than the three of the middle '90's, but not as much as the three from the EARLY '90's". Princess and the Frog did pretty well at the box office, but "not as expected". That way of behaviour and thinking, is inexcusable.

But it not only the skin colors they are critical of, but also due to "stereotype traits."
