With Snow White and a discussion around consent in the background, here are five more animated Disney classics that arguably haven’t aged well in 2021.
This week, Disney’s animated classic Snow White became the subject of a heated public debate around consent, stemming from the scene where the Prince kisses Snow White while she’s sleeping.
To recap, the controversy arose from a Disneyland review on the website SFGate, in which the reviewers discuss the recently revamped ride Snow White’s Enchanted Wish.
In the review, titled “Disneyland’s new Snow White ride adds magic, but also a new problem”, writers Katie Dowd and Julie Tremaine suggested that the kiss was unacceptable and should have been removed from the ride.
