I think some of these are being picky. For instance the Beast was an aggressive asshole, but the purpose was showing that he had to shed that image to be redeemable. Also, the whole point of Mulan was that she could do whatever the boys could do. Also, Gaston was portrayed as being bad in the movie, even though he was masculine and very dominant.

4. I had no idea.

5. This is what happens

When some confused intellectual wannabe trying to be erudite tries to analyze Disney as though it were great literature. I believe the best analogy is when Red Skelton tried to pass off Freddie the Freeloader as a gourmet when he was picky about what he would select from the garbage can.

6. Well, there you go: you have undermined the video you've posted...

So what's the point in posting it? I've seen this one on YouTube and it's ridiculous, because of the reasons mentioned by you.

What's with all the Disney bashing all of a sudden?

7. I'm just posting a video for discussion! Gawd! Am I not allowed?

I love Disney and grew up on it, so I am not trying to disney bash.

8. You're allowed to post everything by me, go ahead. But...

I didn't see the use in posting a video when you yourself debunked its main point.
