Insensitive, ignorant or cruel, which?

Rating: 3/10 (4 August 2003)

The character "Dory" was depicted with symptoms of early-stage Alzheimer Disease. That is heartbreaking, not amusing or entertaining. Yet another sign of some deep, sinister perversity in the Disney organisation. Every time I go to a Disney movie, I do so in a state of innocent anticipation, and every time I'm bitten by their warped morality. The Lion King was another case in point. The fact that these things are aimed at children and vetted approvingly by parents who seem oblivious to the underlying theme forces one really to consider to what extent movies like this are a reflection of the values of modern Western society, - or whether they work to bring about those values. Either way, I would be less frightened of the future if they where more frequently subjected to the accusatory criticism they deserve.
