It's a reddit thing, it means "involuntary celibate" and it's a word used by angry men who can't get laid.

Naw, incels are angry that women won't give them sex. Volcels are voluntarily celibate but MGTOWs (Men Going Their Own Way) are MRAs who have decided to boycott women altogether.

There's also heightcels, hicels, marcels, nearcels and noncels, see if you can guess what they all are!

so for some Disney gets a pass on being anti-semetic because he was a product of his era but C S Lewis and Tolkein can't get a pass on being colonialists and classist.

Because even for the era they're pretty assholish for that and it's not like Disney is putting himself on a higher moral ground, while CS Lewis does have a tendency to preach morality.

I've seen that meme floating around and even before that response on tumblr came out I thought it was stupid.

And frankly I love the way all those shows look. Star Vs, Steven Universe, Gumball and Gravity Falls all have such an appealing art style for me.

It's especially funny because the meme cherry picks a bunch of really extreme poses from old cartoons and puts them next to unofficial drawings of the four characters with the same smiling pose. Except if you watch those shows, every single one of them, especially loving Gumball, does insane poo poo with their faces and expressions. Probably the one who does it the least is Dipper since he's kind of a straight man. But then you could just bring in Mabel and fill that gap.

Anyway, it's a dumb meme and cartoons have never been better than they are right now IMO

and given with budget and technology limitations, TV cartoons used to be a lot more limited unless it's Disney or certain Nick shows - not counting the ones that look different because the artists didn't have the time t keep from them going off-model.

Though I suppose this meme is the evolution of the DW Face (though that's more protesting why that face keeps showing up in posters and promo material).

It's not that easy to detect antisemitism in most of Disney's more famous works, while classism etc is quite clearly there in LotR and Narnia.

It's not based on one of his comics, but Moebius was heavily involved in the creation of Les Maîtres du temps, doing most of the film's design and writing.

I think the most anti-Semitic character they ever made was Sykes, which was considerably post-Disney himself.

Well, Moebius's art was a heavy inspiration for the art direction of Panzer Dragoon (hell, they even got him to illustrate the cover for the first game in Japan), and there was an OVA based on the first game of that - so I guess, in a roundabout way, there's that?

It's poo poo, though; Panzer Dragoon deserved a lot better.

Thank you! The Music is good, but it's cool to hate on Billy Joel so people tend to poo poo on it.

And kind of easy for a young actor to get upstaged by the likes of Cheech, Bette Midler, and Billy Joel and Disney hadn't really prepare for it. Then again, I think that's also an issue with he source material, Oliver is kind of a non-entity aside from being a sad good child that Victorian society screws over.

The dogs were definitely better villains, but having them fall and get electrocuted on the third rail was being fuckin' horrifying, they're bad guys but they're still dogs. Apparently Disney had to prove they didn't shock dogs because the sounds were just too real for the audience.

Yeah. Wow, I forgot how darkly weird Oliver and Company managed to be.

You might be right.



The visual design was way off, but its pretty obvious why Sykes was so forgettable compared to his henchdogs.

When was it suddenly a fact that Walt Disney was antisemitic? I always thought the story was that he just made poor decisions and allied himself with some bad people while not necessarily sharing all of their beliefs. Did something come out where he fired all his jewish employees en masse or tossed slurs at them in a drunken fit?

TBH the first thing I thought of when you posted it was Senator Armstrong.
"Played college ball, ya know."

Oliver and Company isn't a great movie, and even as a kid I preferred the Jungle Book or An American Tail. It's got some catchy tunes though, and I can't be too harsh on it when the lead dog reminds me of my old terrier.

I always had a soft spot for Streets of Gold because I like upbeat tunes about cult/gang indoctrination sung by talented female vocalists.

How dare Disney remove the nuance of the prince raping Sleeping Beauty when she's asleep so she wakes up as she gives birth and finds she is his property. Makes u think imho.

God the original sleeping beauty is such an awful mess. Not only does the prince rape and impregnate sleeping beauty instead of kissing her, when she wakes up it turns out the prince is actually a king because he's already married. The queen gets jealous of the kings rape victim and her babies and tries to have them killed, but she fucks it up and the king ends up killing the queen instead. So, now that the kings gross old wife is dead he's free to marry his hot rape victim.

It's not a fairytale so much as it is the rejected plot of some weird fetish porno that the studio decided not to make because it was too misogynistic.

Like, Disney isn't perfect, he made some mistakes, but I really don't think slightly changing the plots of old folktales to make them less horrifying is one of them.

Although I do have some complicated feelings about the changes made to the Little Mermaid, but that was made after Disney was already dead so he can't really be blamed for them.
