Das Boo posted:I remember that single episode because it was commonly referenced for starting that weird fetish trend. Snake people are a pretty common fixture in mythology around the world for a lot of recorded history, I'm pretty sure there were at least a few dudes in India lusting after nagi long before Disney decided to adapt it for their show. Now, if it was the other way around with the snake half on top and the human half on the bottom I'd be a little more worried...

Nah, it's like specifically people turning into stuff, that episode (which is a good episode, aside from its later ramifications) was an episode that apparently made people want to see ladies turn into stuff that isn't conventional ladies, for sex purposes.

I recall that episode also revealed that the anthro cat spirit and the blind spirit man were once lovers.

Anything that's ever existed has been lusted after by someone, I assume. I'm more so talking about people alive today who realized their fetish from it, much in the same way Robin Hood is regarded as the awakening film for contemporary furries. People always been fuckin' animals, mon.

This is pretty good evidence that Disney princess films and other similar media do absolutely have an effect on developing persons' sexualities and sexual expectations, though.

Off the top of my head I can remember episodes where Jasmine turns into a naga and a rat, Iago turns into a lizard, Aladdin's a shark for one of them and somebody I can't remember turns into a werejackal? Maybe?

I dislike Don Bluth's animation more and more as time goes on That's because most people only remember Don Bluth from American Tail where his crazier poo poo is kept in check.\ I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes the Aladdin DVD movies, I don't remember the show at all beyond the fact that the guards still treated Aladdin like crap despite him being the next Sultan.

Das Boo posted:On the topic of stylization of the human form, I actually support it as I see one of the primary benefits of animation being the ability to free oneself from the tethers of practicality. I won't deny ladies are typically stylized in the same manner, which I'd argue is not a problem if stylization in and of itself (and not to where the solution should be a more realistic design), but rather a limitation in that the design is expected to adhere to only the ideal feminine form. In other words, the problem is the stylization of women is even more restrictive than drawing realistic women, which defeats the purpose of stylization. The opportunity is being fettered when it should be encouraged. Yeah, I can see what you're saying and I largely agree, and it articulates an important distinction. That said, I think part of my concern is that art can't exist in a vacuum, especially considering art is only "art" in a cultural framework. And I think the way we stylize and the way we idealize the female form reinforce each other. Western beauty standards present the ideal woman as thin yet curvy with big eyes, so the stylized woman magnifies these features to quickly communicate her as achieving the beauty ideal, but then the beauty ideal is validated, reinforced, or exaggerated by the support it receives from representations in the media, and stylization now operates from a reference frame three points over and wholly divorced from reality. It's true that this is not the only way people are stylized in animation, but there's a tremendous, sexually-loaded character to how women who are meant to be read as "attractive" are stylized. One of my favorite female designs, divorced of socio-cultural context, is Madame Medusa. And I don't have a problem with her, or someone with this design, being a villain. Except that you don't see women who are stylized this way represented in positive roles. And most of the aspects of her appearance are either out of her control (no chin), or mocking things within her control (e.g. "overapplied" eyeshadow)*. Just like it's not a problem when, say, a black or homosexual person is cast as a villain per se, it becomes problematic when those persons are exclusively assigned specific, and commonly negative, roles. *For example, I would say things out of her control are: her "Chiclet" teeth, her large and pointed nose, her lack of chin, and her overall sagginess (considering her age). The things within her control are her presumably fake hair color, bright lipstick, bright eyeshadow, and false lashes. Of course, these are "feminine" things to wear, but it's positioned in a negative light because it's not "natural beauty" (where "natural beauty", as presented in for example Sleeping Beauty, doesn't exist, since humans aren't born with khol.)

Current arguments about Moana are actually touching on this, sort of, but from a different angle!quote:
Other people are mad for completely different reasons than that! quote:Moana is one of the most highly anticipated Disney movies in years — at least for me. The number of Disney princesses of color in the company's line-up can still be counted on one hand, and I never shy away from the opportunity to idolize another one, whether she's specifically black or not. Add to that, the report that Moana will not have a love interest in her film, which seemed at first, like another reason to be excited for the movie. However, the more I thought about it, the more I saw a downside to the same lack of love interest for Moana. While I'll reserve full judgement until I see how the film handles Moana's story, it has to be noted that when it comes to character of color, having a love life is something of a luxury in mainstream media.

I didn't register Maui so much as "fat" as a wall of a man. He'd be a kickass linebacker.

"Many people have come out to defend Disney on the appearance of Moana. Designer Louie Mantia pointed out that several Disney characters are portrayed as overweight like the Genie from Aladdin or Phil from Hercules. " How in the holy gently caress could Genie be considered overweight? His chest to waist ratio probably beats out the princesses.

Purposely haven't watched the Moana trailer online so I could see it on the big screen first. It played before Pete's Dragon last night. The first of many times I teared up over those two hours.Grogquock posted:"Many people have come out to defend Disney on the appearance of Moana.

Of course in that scene he's shape changing and joking about getting "fat" because Aladdin is apparently smaller than his last master. I suppose they do share that shape changing element! Though Maui probably won't be doing anachronistic impressions.

Genie isn't 'fat' in the sense of being actually unhealthily overweight, he's 'fat' in the sense than he's a big guy (for Aladdin). Imagine four fat Disney characters on the edge of a cliff. The Genie falls off, the others roll down a space, and the Genie falls back into the line. Maui works the same way.

There'd probably be more cause for complaint if Maui's design was typical chiseled superhero style. Frankly I'm surprised they resisted the temptation to just make him look like a cartoon version of his own VA. Either way though, it's supremely pleasing that he's got the super tattooed look going. It's about drat time CG animators took advantage of their craft in such a way, where the need to draw every frame prevented something that elaborate from being a regular onscreen presence. Hell, if it were culturally accurate (it probably isn't), they ought to have done the very same thing with the heroine. Just dedicate a whole sequence to her trying to get hers to do comedy routines like his does.

In regards to Aladdin the animated series and it turning characters into other things, I vividly remembering an episode where Aladdin became a shark and thinking it was the dumbest poo poo I'd ever seen.

I guess the issue is in part that there's no way to please everyone (although trying to think of a Disney princess film that caused no upset is an interesting thought experiment in its own right). Oh and yeah watch the clip of shark Aladdin it's hilarious.

Thank you for posting, Pick. Pictured: Disney non-princess cosplaying as Disney Princess in show with less-bad-than-average body proportions, a POC heroine, TNG voice actors out the wazoo, and possibly-confusing-to-developing-minds implied interspecies romance.

That particular one would not be sad, no, just rather bemused. One of the younger Gargoyles might be disappointed, but might also be amused, depending on their mood. And there's one Gargoyle who wouldn't be anything, because mucking about outside is not proper. Gargoyles=\ TMNT.

This thread is really good, Pick. Just caught up. Disney seems to be going for some size-positive male characters lately, with Baymax, Clawhauser and Maui coming to mind.
