They're only just now realizing the brilliancy of Lady and the Tramp, The Lion King, Dumbo, Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, Snow White, just to many to name. Mickey Mouse is all but forgotten. And the Looney Tunes! They came out with a show called "The Looney Tunes Show," shit. That's what it is. My God, it's terrible. I can't sit through five minutes of it.
My point is, I'm glad I got what I did because as far as I'm concerned there will never be a better generation of television. We got the old and we got the new. When the new was still good. These kids today, they don't even get my generations shows. To watch the Powerpuff Girls they have to buy a different channel than the cartoons. Can you say r-i-p-o-f-f?
I largely agree, and certainly about the voice! Nowadays, it seems screeching is acceptable, though there are still some smoothies out there. Gotta love the old Disneys... such great stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt is so true. A lot of the shows today don't even have plots or require any sort of thinking. So many of the shows for kids on tv just seem to be about being popular/famous and I know this sounds like I am horribly old (though I'm just out of college!) but I feel like it rots their brains and really skews how they view themselves. I know that some older Disney movies aren't perfect, but I'll take Snow White needing a man to save her over Hannah Montana any day.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Aladdin! Jasmine was my favorite.
