In my Disney class recently we were talking about the stereotypes Disney uses in man of their movies. There are obvious ones, like the way princesses and princes act. But there are also some stereotypes that are less obvious. For instance, this song from The Jungle Book is viewed by some people as racist. Meaning the way the monkeys are portrayed, the beat of the song, and some of the lyrics within the song are seen as what African American people would do. Now this is only seen this way by some people, but if a child saw it that way it could be extremely destructive to their world views. What do you all think?
