In the animated version of “Robin Hood,” Little John sings a song about Prince John. The original of the song was about King John of England, however …
The song is a cleaned-up version of an old naughty classic - “The B@stard King of England.” :eek: I will decline to provide a quote.
At one point a female character apologizes for being late because she “Had to shake the weasel(s).” Had a male character said it, it might have been a bit too obvious.
We all know that when a woman wears a blouse with a v-cut neck line it’s meant to be sexy, show some cleveage there will ya. However, what do we say about Jasmine and Arial wearing v-cut waistlines? If they were old enough to have pubic hair, we’d see it, but they’re not, so they don’t. That’s a pedophile’s wet dream come true. Fucking sick bastards. How about Arial’s little seashell training bra showing off them middle school girl titties … sick sick sick sick sick … them bastards.
Beauty and the Beast … that’s called beastiality … sick bastards …
Sure, in spite the clear and obvious sexualization of our pre-pubescent girls we really need to focus on the subliminal messages like “fuck you” and eating squirrels and moose is cannibalism {YouTube}.
Ariel isn’t even the same species as us-- What makes you think her anatomy is at all similar to ours? And where in the movie is it ever implied that she’s middle-school-aged?
Jasmine, at least, is human, and the midpoint of her waistline is in fact lower than the sides, but there’s still plenty of room for hidden pubic hair below that, and it’s quite possible that she shaves, anyway (I think that was actually fairly common in ancient Arabic cultures). And again, there’s no evidence as to her age.
It would not have occurred to me that these movies were targeting middle-aged woman demographic … I honestly don’t see how these movies appeal to adult women at all … who’s sitting in the audience, who’s impressionable young minds are being brain-washed into thinking the lower the waistline the more feminine you’ll be?
I honestly hate to admit I know this, but Ariel was turned into a human before she put the make on that fella in exchange for giving her voice to the oh so sexy and womanly Ursula … because any woman with a normal body just has to be evil.
Compare this to Snow White or Queen Victoria … chastity is supposed to be a virtue, not a mental disorder. I’m sorry, a v-cut waistline doesn’t do anything for the character except sexualize her, as opposed to Faye Valentine where we need to be reminded she’s a woman … see the difference?
It’s not that sex sells … it’s just dirt cheap to produce … show some side-boob and rate the movie PG-13 … you’ll fill your theater every night with 13-year-olds … why waste money on a screenplay or editing?
Freddy Moore apparently wasn’t the only Disney artist who enjoyed painting the female form in his off hours.
In the mid 1990s I had the opportunity to spend some time with Disney artist Carl Barks. Barks is best known for his work on the Donald Duck comic books. He is credited with creating the character Scrooge McDuck.
I felt very fortunate to meet Carl Barks since my mother got me interested in reading by sharing Donald Duck comics with me when I was between 5 and 6 years old. When I met Carl he was in his 90s and he was enjoying a “second career” producing original artwork featuring Donald Duck, his 3 nephews and, of course, Scrooge McDuck. The paintings were marketed as limited-edition lithographs. (He may have also been selling some original artwork.) From what I can tell from the Internet, his work from this period has greatly increased in value in the past 20 years.
When I visited Carl in his Grants Pass, Oregon home he showed me a number of decidedly non-Disney lithos. They featured voluptuous semi-nude (topless) human female characters, done with taste and in his distinctive style. They weren’t pornographic by any means but they would probably surprise people who are only familiar with Carl’s work for Disney. Carl at the time may have been almost totally deaf and a very old man, but he still had an appreciation for the female figure.
If I recall correctly, these lithographs were marketed only in Europe where they were very successful. At the time Carl was popular in Europe for his Disney work. The much less prudish Europeans apparently had a keen appreciation for Carl’s work that was intended for a mature audience.
Carl eventually passed away in the year 2000 at the age of 99 years. I think that Carl’s joie de vivre and his great sense of humor were the main reasons he was so productive and lived a long life.
Different company but in a similar vein. In Despicable Me 2 at one point the Minions are celebrating with a party and singing a song (in Minionese). The words are hard to make out (naturally) but I recognized the tune of the chorus: It was Another Irish Drinking Song.
And as long as I got the soapbox, this is sixteen years late, Euty, but what Jessica Rabbit might (or might not) have flashed was not her vagina but her vulva. Unless they’re taking deliberate steps to display, one rarely sees a woman’s vagina.
At least you weren’t like this one gal on YouTube who was talking about her Brazilian wax job* and kept mentioning her “vajiji”.
Oh, and I should also mention that the Ariel’s “waistline” that watchwolf49 mentions isn’t even clothing. When she’s a mermaid, she doesn’t wear any clothes at all on the lower portion of her body, which means that we can be absolutely certain that merfolk pelvic anatomy is unlike humans’. I don’t know how one distinguishes a pubescent mermaid from a pre-pubescent one: Maybe the shape of the tail flukes is different, or something. For all we know, Ariel might (to one of her own kind) look like a fully-mature adult.
Meanwhile, while she’s transformed into a human, she wears a completely modest dress, that doesn’t even show any cleavage, much less midriff.
And what’s this about “because any woman with a normal body just has to be evil”? By human standards, there is no female character in that movie with a normal body. Even if we ignore the decidedly-abnormal tentacles, Ursula is obese even by American standards. That’s not a “normal body”.
I used to have a couple trading cards I picked up back in my Magic the Gathering days that featured Ariel sans shells on one and Beauty and the Beast getting freaky on the other.
I hope you mean “ideal”, because the standard America is obese, both sexes.
I’ve seen the movie, and Ariel’s behavior is just like a human. I know she’s drawn like a mermaid, but she acts completely human. I honestly can’t speak for 11 or 12-year-old girls, but an 11 or 12-year-old boy would notice right away that Ariel isn’t acting atoll like a mermaid, they don’t form deep friendships with their food. Quick … was Pepé le Pew a skunk or a love-lored Frenchman … [smile] … gotcha ya.
