I call it the “disnification” of a story. Disney usually takes stories and just makes them into boring morality plays. You know the whole story within one minute of the beginning of the movie. There are almost never any surprises. It’s like pablum for people who have a taste for that sort of thing.
I know some people I like and respect really enjoy Disney stuff, but it really bothers me when someone does like Disney. I’m also not fond of Disney theme parks. I’ve never been to one, and don’t want to go. Disney commodifies other cultures and myths, and that just rubs me the wrong way. It seems to me that Disney dumbs down things that don’t need to be dumbed down. Disney is condescending to people, and especially to children. Children, I think, are much smarter than Disney gives them credit for.
The Disney world is all innocent and naive, and it’s a lie, in my opinion. Things are never as straightforward as Disney tales suggest. Morals are never so clear as Disney portrays them. Disney takes real things and repackages them in bright, beautiful packages, and in doing so, takes the heart and soul away from the stories. It is a kind of insular, American thing. Often, it is cultural appropriation. It is disrespectful.
It usually cheers me when I see something Disney flop. It makes me feel better when folks see through what Disney is doing. I suppose you could say I have rather strong feelings about this. Ya think? ;-)
