Mickey Mouse Monopoly 3/5

This is sensationalized. I agree with many of the points, but you cannot ignore aspects that do not support your opinion or you look like an extremist and undermine your argument. Belle leaves the castle after the Beast yells at her for going into the forbidden room and discovering his rose. but she's attacked by wolves and the Beast brings her back to the castle to save her, where SHE heals HIM. Then he gives her his library, which is when she starts to give a damn about him.

Belle NEVER tolerates his cruelty. She refuses to eat with him, and goes where he specifically tells her not to go. In doing so, she discovers that he has a vulnerable and intelligent side (which he shows to the other inhabitants, and is evidenced by his library, and the fact that he rescued Belle, gave her his magic mirror, and chose to let her leave). People have hated him for his appearance, & he expects the same from Belle. She only comes back in order to SAVE HIM when gaston forms a mob.

1:40 It doens't work like that in real life.

Exactly, that kind of mentality can get you into serious trouble. "Oh my husband only got mad and hit me because I didn't do something right, but I'll be sweeter and nicer to him next time and maybe he will treat me nicer as well"... I've learned that being nice sometimes just doesn't pay off... why be nice to someone that treats you like dirt and doesn't respect you; you only condone their behaviour. Be nice to people. If they are not nice in return, don't envorce it by being even nicer...

lets be clear Belle was not always kind and sweet. she stood up for herself constantly.

on the flip side the racist undertone is definitely there in many disney films. though thanks to pixar this seems to have changed quite a bit.

She stood up for herself in some ways and yet lives with a very abusive 'monster' - whom she converts into a kind and caring person.

This is a most dangerous message to give our young people. One that sinks in and helps to perpetuate domestic violence in our societies.

We should be teaching young people that aggression and violence have no place in our world - and how to respond more appropriately.

Just being sweet and kind to change somebody doesn't work in real life.

Yes, but song of the south was argued to be demeaning to the African American population, because they have this idea in the movie that slaves in America on the plantation were happy, which as we all know, wasn't true. Somone on the net compared it to making a musical about how great life was for the jews during the holocaust in Auschwitz (the death camp)...I can kind of see where they're comming from.

If the stories we tell about people are ignorant and racist, then that's a real problem.
