Several Disney films that once brought joy to many are now being looked at in a much darker light, with one person tweeting: “As a kid, I never knew how dark and sinister some scenes were.”
Another X (formerly Twitter) user tweets: “You ever go back and watch some of the Disney animated movies that came out when we were kids and realized how damn dark and not really for kids they were?”
In regards to Snow White, one scene in particular has sparked a fierce debate.
But not everyone agrees the original story should be changed, with one person penning: “I think it’s great we’re opening up the conversation about consent, but people blaming Disney – a romantic kiss at the end of a movie isn’t the reason teenagers become confused about consent.”
Another adds: “It’s a fairytale, leave Disney alone.”
“I’d argue that Snow White would readily give her consent to be kissed since not kissing her would condemn her to eternal sleep,” someone else argues.
A fourth person agrees, writing: “I can’t believe they’re saying Snow White is wrong now! Why not look at it as the kiss of life?”
The debate flared up again after Disneyland, California, revamped the Snow White Enchanted Wish ride, which now ends with the prince kissing Snow White. In a review for SFGATE, Julie Tremaine and Katie Dowd criticized this addition, calling it the “movie’s biggest problem.”
“Haven’t we already agreed that consent in early Disney movies is a major issue?” the review asks. “Teaching kids that kissing without establishing mutual consent is not okay.”
