10/29 video activity

After reviewing the selected movie clips from various Disney films, I have come to realize that prejudices are portrayed in even the most seemingly innocent channels of media, the cartoon film industry. I was appalled after watching the three clips. Peter Pan, Dumbo, and Aladdin all contained blatantly obvious stereotypes that are known to be taboo in our society. Perhaps it is films such as these that are responsible for the subliminal prejudices that reside within our society today. As a child, I never noticed these prejudices, or rather, I didn't recognize a problem with them. Learning that these ideas are acceptable, children grow up with these ideals buried in their minds.
