>As much as we love our childhood animated Disney staples, it's not news some — okay, most — of them are problematic in their own ways.

>There's a scene in the original Jungle Book that makes everyone a little uncomfortable. The ape, King Louie, dances around, singing to Mowgli, the human protagonist, "I Wanna Be Like You." It evokes a minstrel's performance, laden with black-white, racial subtext.

Fuck this generation

the casting directors of the original jungle book actually went out of their way to not appear racist because of the massive amounts of racial tension at the time - originally King Louie was gonna be played by Louis Armstrong (who he is obviously based on), but Italian American jazz singer Louis Prima was used instead so as not to appear like they were stereotyping black people as apes.

What if they're not deliberately looking for it, and this stuff just genuinely offends them?

WHERE IS THE BLACK-WHITE SUBTEXT THERE'S NOT A SINGLE WHITE OR BLACK CHARACTER IN THE FUCKING JUNGLE BOOK THE ONLY HUMAN IS SOUTH ASIAN

AND IN THE FUCKING REMAKE KING LOUIE ISN'T EVEN A STEREOTYPICAL JAZZ CAT BUT INSTEAD A MAFIA DON IT'S LIKE THESE PEOPLE DON'T ACTUALLY FUCKING WATCH ANYTHING BEFORE COMMENTING ON IT

>the original Jungle Book

Pretty sure the original Jungle Book didn't have any music numbers.

Fun fact: Chris Rock was supposed to voice Tarzan's gorilla friend. He probably backed out when he found out that his character's big music number was going to be a jazz song sung while absolutely demolishing the white guy's camp, while Tarzan calmly and inquisitively probed things when confronted with the same things.

I REALLY wish they had gotten someone to do a good Louis Armstrong impression instead of Christopher Walken. I liked him as Louie but his musical number sucked ass.
>>
>>69849517
i thought it was good

>>69848430

maybe some people see King Louie as a fuckin ape that wants to be human instead of as a black guy wanting to be like a white guy

Most Disney movies are based on stories happening in Europe centuries ago. It makes no sense to add black people in these movies.

Do you live somewhere they move because they're rich enough to be able to leave?

I've never seen one look like but I live somewhere that they move because they're poor enough to be driven to leave in search of cleaning jobs to send money home.

They originally wanted Louis Armstrong for the part of King Louie, but they thought it'd be racist.

They did in a film that was released literally this year, you fucking bitches

Mulan is Chinese and a woman who saves China. Pocahontas a female native American who brings peace between Britain and her tribe. Ezmeralda says fuck you to white christians and is a gypsy. Meg is greek and a complex character that redeems herself. Belle is French and part of a town who find her weird and falls in love with the ugly beast. Jasmine won't listen to her father and literally makes him change the law. I swear these people don't even watch these movies.

Didn't they originally intend to adapt The Snow Queen (which Frozen was based on) 70 years earlier but the project never got off the ground?

It's simple kids just don't care about SJW shit and a parent aren't going to deny them a chance to see a movie they want because it isn't diverse.

If Trump wins it will be due to the PC culture tipping the white man vote too far right. People are getting sick of it.
