I recently watched the movie ‘Ron’s Gone Wrong’ (By pirating obviously) as I was bored. With the main plot aside, there is an elderly woman who is the protagonist’s grandmother. The amount of anti-communist propaganda the Disney writers put in is amusing. We start off with the children throwing darts at a picture of Stalin, and later she says something about how they needed to be on a waiting list in order to get food. There is definitely more, but I don’t want to watch it again.
tdlr: Disney still upholds Walt’s beliefs
I think we’ll see more of these type of ‘kids movies’ as the US loses its title of global hegemon and loses relevance internationally
I was disturbed to see the Girl Meets World episode where they teach a horribly inaccurate version of communism, and I was just bewildered they’d do that in a kids show. It’s pretty interesting how kids shows will tackle big issues like “communism is when you’re forced to be the same”, but not “the Nazis murdered millions of people for being born different”. Really shows what’s more important to Californian artists.
Still, some shows ain’t afraid to fight fascism, but they’re usually on streaming services, not TV.
