Description
Can you guess what they're watching? Yep! You got it!MODERN DISNEY. No wonder they're so upset.
Yeah, a random idea I had late at night. XD I had to draw it. And I'm actually quite pleased with the turn out. ^^
In short, Goofy's dissapointed and sad, Mickey's like 'WFT??', and Donald's about to break the TV. And all because Miley Cyrus pole danced on an icecream cart.
( Yes, I'm fully aware that that dance was on Fox, but she's still pretty much the Disney spokesperson. Even if you're a fan, you gotta admit that was inappropriate. >> )
Actually, they're probably upset about the whole thing. Disney's an entirely different creature now. They rarely show any shows that are animated in their original style. D: (I miss House of Mouse.) Poor guys. *hugs them*
Anywho, this was not intended to offend anybody. It was purely made for entertainment. So please, no rude or harrassing comments. Thank you.

Disney was long rumored to be antisemitic during his lifetime, and such rumors persisted after his death. Indeed, in the 1930s he welcomed German filmmaker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl to Hollywood to promote her film Olympia .[111] Even after news of Kristallnacht broke in November 1938, Disney did not cancel his invitation to Riefenstahl.[112] [113] [114]
However, in 2006 Disney biographer Neal Gabler , the first writer to gain unrestricted access to the Disney archives, concluded that available evidence did not support accusations of antisemitism. In a CBS interview Gabler summarized his findings:
“That's one of the questions everybody asks me... My answer to that is, not in the conventional sense that we think of someone as being an antisemite. But he got the reputation because, in the 1940s, he got himself allied with a group called the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, which was an anti-Communist and antisemitic organization. And though Walt himself, in my estimation, was not antisemitic, nevertheless, he willingly allied himself with people who were antisemitic, and that reputation stuck. He was never really able to expunge it throughout his life.[115] ”Disney eventually distanced himself from the Motion Picture Alliance in the 1950s.[116] Gabler also claims in regards to Riefenstahl's visit, the invitation was suggested to Disney by Jay Stowitts and that although Walt knew who Riefenstahl was, he didn't know exactly what she represented in terms of politics, as he had no particular political leaning during the 1930s.[116]
The Walt Disney Family Museum acknowledges that Disney did have "difficult relationships" with some Jewish individuals, and that ethnic stereotypes common to films of the 1930s were included in some early cartoons, such as Three Little Pigs and The Opry House ; however, the museum points out that he befriended many Jewish school mates,[116] donated to several Jewish charities (The Hebrew Orphan Asylum, Yeshiva College ,[116] Jewish Home for the Aged, The American League for a Free Palestine [116] ) and was named "1955 Man of the Year" by the B'nai B'rith chapter in Beverly Hills.[116] [117]
Disney was also rumored to be a racist. According to Gabler, although he was not, he would however occasionally make racially insensitive remarks that were commonly used by white Americans at the time.[118] For example during a story meeting on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs he referred to the scene when the dwarfs pile ontop of each other as a "nigger pile", and while casting Song of the South he used the term pickaninny . Like many Hollywood film and cartoon producers of the time, Disney had engaged in racial stereotyping, and Disney cartoons of the period sometimes displayed racially insensitive material.[118] Examples include Mickey's Mellerdrammer in which Mickey Mouse dresses in blackface , the "black" bird in the short Who Killed Cock Robbin, Sunflower the half donkey-half black centarette in Fantasia , the feature film Song of the South , the Indians in Peter Pan , and the crows in Dumbo (although in that particular instance they were made sympathetic to Dumbo's plight).[118] Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies director Bob Clampett , director of the controversial but highly acclaimed short Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs , claimed that
“Everybody, including blacks had a good time when these cartoons first came out. All the controversy developed in later years merely because of changing attitudes toward black civil rights that have happened since then.”Despite Disney's occasional slurs, there is no evidence that he expressed any hatred or bigotry against any racial group, publicly or privately, and he hired employees of all racial backgrounds, religions, and nationalities throughout his career.[118] He also thoroughly enjoyed To Kill a Mockingbird , a film dealing with racial justice, claiming "That's the kind of film I wish I could make."[116]

you are 100% right, I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s when it was still the same disney as it was, now all this junk that Miley Cyrus is doing is getting me a little depressed, they need to get better sponsors that won't get risque where all of the little kids can watch their inappropriate things and think it's "okay" to do whatever they are doing. My little sister is one of them unfortunatly.

For those of you against Miley and all those other "modern Disney" girls,Disney never was a stranger to having young child stars. I mean if you do some research,they had girls like Katherine Beaumont and Annette Funichello back in the classic times. What are Miley,Ashley,and the Sprouse Twins but a modern-day equivilent of Annette,Darlene,and Cubby? I don't blame Disney for anything on their network(s),if anything I blame modern-day low standards. I'm not being rude or anything,I'm just pointing out something simple. But yeah,I don't think Walt would've allowed back in his day his young stars to go all risque like Miley did on the ice cream truck. On the other hand,for the cartoons,Walt would NEVER stand for any of those sequels they made during the past decade OR the pathetically Shrek-ish "Chicken Little".

Thank you for the intelligent comment sir. = D
I have to agree. Today's moral standards are sadly low. (Yet everyone's so ate up with being "politically correct"! Insanity, no?) And yes, sequels suck something major. But it's not the young child stars most people have the problem with. It's what they allow said stars to DO. (Such as being risque, like you said.) ^^

PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST. IT'S SO DANG TRUE* 1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 6. You mean the world to someone. 7. If not for you, someone may not be living. 8. You are special and unique. 9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. 11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world. 12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it. 13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. 14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know. 15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years tag ur it!! this is so scary!!! send this to 15 ppl in the next 143 min. and then press F6 and your crushes name will appear in big letters!! it is so scary because it works
