Yeah, I remember when I was watching Hunchback, and that priest scene came, and I was like holy shit, am I still watching a Disney film?! But most of the movie was pretty uneven, and I never understood why, if the theme of the movie was that apperances don't matter, did Esmeralda choose the handsome prince anyway, and the Hunchback was left without any cookie? Either make it a tragedy like the original, or make him get the girl, but the ending we got was pretty half-assed.

Pete's Dragon deepened my fear of hillbillies.

Pete's Dragon is a bizarre, dark Disney whatthehellwereyouthinking movie. And yet I kinda like it.

I was obsessed with Pete's Dragon as a kid. My favorite stuffed animal was a little Elliot pillow. I haven't seen it in years. The traveling magician (I think?) was way creepy and mickey rooney was such a drunk!

And Shelley Winters as an abusive adoptive mom, and leering hillbillies, and Helen Reddy pining for her true love lost at sea.

Yeah, it was pretty bizarre. I was a weird kid though.

Ha! My 3 year old was into it for awhile, but he started getting scared toward the end so I've put it away for a few years.

I had the read-along record so I'm intimately familiar with this one.

Don't get me wrong, that ape is the WORST.

Ape is based on Louis Prima, a white guy

I don't get what specifically about King Louie codes as "black", it's not nearly as straightforward as the crows in Dumbo or the cats in Lady & the Tramp. Louis basically plays himself - a goofy jazz singer. His overriding goal is to get the secret of fire from Mowgli (who is also, incidentally, not white). The argument that a white guy acting (arguably) like a black guy while expressing a desire to be more like another non-white character is RACIST seems pretty convoluted to me.

shakey OTM.
haha i'd forgotten the cats in 'lady and the tramp,' i assumed abbs was referring to the stereotyped italian chefs!

The whole Pleasure Island sequence was one of the most frightening experiences I ever had in a theater.
