It’s a Krull, Krull World











{November 13, 2008}   My Children Will Never Watch Disney

I have always heard the jokes on Family Guy that Walt Disney was an anti-Semitic. There was one episode where Walt Disney comes back to live from being frozen. The person who opens the pod says “Welcome back Mr. Disney” and Disney response with “Are all the Jews gone?” “No” the person responses, than Disney closes the pod and says “Put me back”. I laughed about this because I grew up watching all the Disney movies and I could not believe that Walt Disney hated the Jews. It was not until I took a class where we were talking about propaganda that was used in World War II. Now everyone knows about the propaganda that was used against the Jews in Europe by Hitler, but what about in the United States? My professor told us that one of the largest propaganda markets in the United States was Disney. I told not believe it so I Google “Disney Propaganda” and there were tons of images of Donald Duck wearing a NAZI uniform and wearing the swastika. There was even one cartoon of Donald and his nephews saluting a picture of Hitler. After I saw that a little piece of me died inside. I started to think of all the Disney movies that I have ever seen and whether there were any scenes that were Nazi like. Guess what there is. There is a scene in The Lion King were Scar is plotting to kill Mufasa. In the song “Be Prepared” you get to see all the hyenas marching just like Nazis while Scar is on a podium, just like Hitler, watching them all. It is so creepy to watch because even in the movie Scar plays the part of Hitler because he wants to be king. He illustrates and kills anyone who posed a threat to him. While the hyenas were like his SS soldiers who were brain washed into following his “Master Plan”. If you don’t believe me You Tube it and see for yourself. I can’t believe that was in there. That movie came out when I was a child. I loved that movie. Thanks to that scene my childhood is officially ruined. I wonder if there are any other scenes like that in any other Disney movies? If I ever have children they will never watch any Disney movies or visit Disney World or Land.
