Amazing propaganda


Lazy storytelling
Sub-par animation
Ban guns
Humans are evil
Lets all go vegetarian

I love all things Disney but this film always felt like it had an agenda. Just my two cents.

Its not anti gun propaganda its typical Disney indoctrination that everything is a circle of life. Accept your fate as a multiplying slave. Procreate more slaves so there are more slaves for the industry fighting in wars. Fight when you have to. Loosing family members is normal. Growing up with only a mom is normal so daddy can work hard or go to war. Follow his footsteps is normal. This movie came out 42. 2 years before d-day. Now we have 50 or 60 year olds (the children from the WW2 veterans) grown up with this and giving their kids a hard time because they want to do art or philosophy and not join the army or whatever.
Right now Disney is producing the same stuff just called Zootopia where a rabbit not follows the familys footsteps and leaves family so the rabbit can bring order to society with questionable measures. But the ends justify the means, right? The indoctrination is linked to economy. Work hard and be flexible and dynamic and you can fulfill all your dreams. Garnished with Shakiras song Try Everything (which the antagonist of the rabbit does but shes evil?). I wonder what kind of people that period of Disney films will produce in the next 50 years. They must be worse than the baby boomers.
God help us all.
