Ugh. What's this fascination with butt shaking?


Every Disney like movie always has characters who must shake their butts for one reason or another. In this latest one some Hares are singing the tired intro to "I like big butts", shaking their butts in process. Same thing in Trolls. In Alvin and Chipmunks. In Secret Life of Animals. And so on.

It's less cute, and more towards nasty. Next thing you know twerking will be part of the Disney scripts.

None of those films you've mentioned are from Disney including this. What are you talking about?

reply

This is not a Disney film.

reply

I read the post wrong.

reply

They wrote "Disney like", not merely "Disney", ie, "Disney-like".

reply

None of those are Disney like at all.

reply

They are like Disney. Stop changing the subject.

reply

changing the subject? that's your entire premise.

i'd agree, i'd never guess that this was a Disney film. it has NONE of their original or modern hallmarks.

also, children like butt shaking as proven by the whole cinema tittering. the sir mix-a-lot reference is for the parents.

also, parents like butt shaking, it's hot, especially when more sexually suggestive, possibly with genitals exposed. mm-hm.. that's the stuff.. yeah.. do that..

anyway, what about the flatulent Yak? got a problem with that? that was some pretty simple humor.

Yes. Clearly anyone who is okay with this pretty much shows their lack of maturity.

tle_mgr, I hear you. I also agree with you. Just about very animated film nowadays has to have someone in it shaking their butt, or some "butt" clip in the film or joke. I'm sick of it and it IS nasty. Children are watching this---so wrong. Yes, there are other bad things out there in the world---and this is one of them. Glad to know that I'm not the only one noticing [and disgusted with] this mess.

What is your definition of Disney-like. Because actually most Disney movies actually don't have a lot of potty/butt humor. That is actually typically illumination, DreamWorks, Sony animation that have that kind of humor. I don't think Disney-like is a good way to describe these movies, just say animation. But I do agree that kind of humor is really off putting and I wish they wouldn't put it in movies.

I like Big Butts was also in the Yogi the Bear movie.

reply

Yuck, you reminded me of the awful "Yogi" film.

reply

Hollywood weirdos think animal butts are hot?

I warned ye! The furries be takin' over! Didn' ah warn ye? ;D

reply

It's disgusting to us also. Billy Ray Cyrus (or someone) should've tried to stop Miley from doing her twerk nonsense on TV; I think she made the entire country cringe. But, now filmmakers put that crap into kid movies because it's "popular", ugh.

reply

gawd, who doesn't like hot butts being shaken in a sexually suggestive fashion?

you?

prudes?

folks not getting laid?

kids have no idea what's going on. to them it's just dancing, not a mating ritual.

The only really bad part of this is that one of my kids hasn't stopped saying "Oh my gosh, look at her butt!" and thinks it's the height of wit. It was funny the first 50 times she said it......

reply

haha, yep, slightly older niece and nephew that went with my daughter started on this track as soon as they walked out of the theater. daughter took it up from then.

now that my daughter has seemingly grown tired of the phrase it up to me to continue the tradition.

i gotta agree with your kid, it is up there on the funny scale.

Butts are honestly the greatest thing on earth. I love me some butt, do you not? Who doesn't love them some booty? You sound like a square ex-journalist troglodyte with that opinion and diction of yours there.

reply

ignore.

reply

Damn, guess I hit em where it hurt most. I'm sorry, my troglodyte friend. If you want, I'll help you restart your Tumblr account and I'll also help you overcome your strange phobia of buttocks. You'll learn that a nice butt is nothing to be scared of, unless you're a closeted homosexual and you only associate butts with men, then that's your problem and you need some counseling of your own. Checking out you other posts, you seems like a huge SJW POS and you'd probably need counseling regardless.
