The Antisemitism one is iffy cause there were a some associations with people who were antisemitic. But there's no proof that he himself was. The racist one was probably more true cause there were indeed racist cartoon and story made, in addition to alleged racist quotes by him. It wouldn't really be too shocking if he was. Ultimately he'd be the product of his time, even if he created/aided many of our childhood icons. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC7BAt96Xn0 <cite>Extreme_light posted [p:924646402] in What do yo...

The racist one was probably more true cause there were indeed racist cartoon and story made, in addition to alleged racist quotes by him. Are we using the metrics of today or the metrics of the time? By the metrics of today, yeah, he was racist. There's plenty of old Disney cartoons from the 50s and earlier that used racist caricatures (the crows in Pinocchio, the Indians in Peter Pan, so on and so forth). But I don't think that's necessarily fair, because Disney was a product of his time and, at the time, none of those were considered even mildly offensive and were widely used by animators everywhere. He had no problem elevating black actors/actresses and most of his contemporaries - including minorities - would later state that they saw no evidence of racism in his words or conduct. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

DeathMagnetic80 07/14/19 11:04:47 AM #23:	Not a perfect man, but he was a visionary that routinely put everything on the line because he believed in something. People thought he was crazy for making Snow White, and then later when he was first building Disneyland. With Disneyland, he got together a great team and just turned them loose. New rides may have better technology, but I still haven't ridden on anything quite like Pirates of the Caribbean or the Haunted Mansion when it comes to creativity and scope. <cite>DeathMagnetic80 posted [p:924670414] in What do yo...
