Really, these movies do set up a certain idea of what good and evil is, and it's far from the truth. I like the way they do it in Harry Potter...the villain isn't always who you think it is...much closer to reality.

It's common knowledge that Disney movies are anti-hunting. Maybe it's because the main characters as often animals, but it's a fact that Walt himself was against hunting. I suppose the critters he knew as a kid could talk to him and tell him how terrifying it really was or something.

I dislike the way that hunters are usually portrayed as evil, bloodthirsty, madmen. I know many, many hunters (most of the people in my area hunt) and none of them are like that. I'm sure that there are some hunters in the area that don't always follow the rules, but the ones I know respect the wildlife and actually encourage wildlife habitat. They hunt as humanely as reasonable and try to make the kill as quick and painless as possible.

I guess Disney prefers to focus on the "Bubbas".

You'd be surprised at how many tree-hugging hippies don't know how to treat their environment. I guess they're too stoned to realize they are hypocrits.

Everyone thinks that metalheads are all Beavis and Butthead idiots that trash every place they go to and throw empty beer cans in the streets. I've found that most metalheads are courteous, environmentally-conscious individuals. Weird but true. The sleazy hard rock idiots are less aware of (or care less about) their impact.

Same thing with hunters. MOST OF THEM have great respect for the environment they are in, the animals they are hunting, the firearms they carry and the people around them.

So, basically, F*CK DISNEY. If I want to distract my kid, I'll take them hunting.

That's the ultimate villain, but you never know who is working for him. There is always some spy. And then there is Snape...is Snape a bad guy? Not necessarily...he just isn't very nice. I prefer to show kids the truth...some things are pretty obvious, others are more complicated. Don't judge people by simple perceptions.

What the f*ck is a raccon doing in Sherwood Forest anyway!!!! Robin Hood is set in the 13th century. All those North American animals suddenly invented trans-atlantic critter-ships?

Well Walt was thought to be a racist but I think the racoons thing is becasue of the mask and they are really thieves.

Katrina ..er laughing gnome has a point though.
