As a child, I grew up wathcing Disney movies. I can honestly say I've probably watched all of there films and had them all when I was a kid. I'd watch those movies more than once a day, that's how much I liked them. Heck, I even know most of the words to them. I had many of there toys, clothes, birthdays parties , was in Disney school plays, the Disney soundtrack CD's (which I still have ) and even a whole collection of all of the little Disney action figures that where in the Happy Meals in McDonalds. So yes, I guess you can call me a Disney Kid.
During class we saw a documentary called Mickey Mouse Monopoly and I was surprised by what I saw. I realized I had no idea that so many of those subliminal details shown in the documentary where actually there. It was really mind blowing for me to see this. I've seen them for many years now and even though I havn't in a while I believe they where an extreamly huge influence in my brother, sister and me. After watching this and thinking back I kind of had little flash backs of when I was a child and how I acted remembered that I really believed I had to be like one of the girls in the movies and all of that was true for me.
I think think the most shocking things presented for me was the amount of violence in the film Beauty and the Beast that I had over looked and the topic of race in so many others for example in Tarzan. I feel that this documentary opened my eyes to a whole different way of seeing things and it's as if the blindfold of innocence covering me fell off. I still think that disney's main fundimental is for the sake of the child, I defenetly believe that they can work things out in a better way and not present some things in such manner. I think this documentary opened my eyes to a whole different way of seeing things and it's as if the blindfold of innocence covering me fell off. The next time I see a Disney film I'll probably be more aware as to these hidden messages. With that being said, even so I still Love Disney, I won't stop watching them. Does that make me a bad person? If you ask me I think I turned out just fine, after all I didn't find out till now, did I. All the other old films have already been done. One can only strive for the future, I just hope and think they should fix these matters that have been discussed in there next productions. On the other hand, I most likely have been Brain Washed for to so many years, it might just be to late for me.
