Honest Disney Movies

Disney movies are my quick time fix for all things wrong with the world. Your boyfriend dumps you? Disney. Your thighs decide to play 'let's applaud every time she walks'? Disney. You're craving the sandpit and Tinkies? Disney. 

We don't live in a world of sunshine and roses (at least not us sober ones), but it's nice to imagine that love really can conquer all - who cares about society, and all their B.S! Hakuna Matata is so my mantra at the moment. 

This got me thinking - has Disney ignited an irrational fear of living the dream? The outcome of all the films? Perfect endings with perfect men and perfect bodies.  Sexist undertones. Pseudo-perfection. Lies. Too much pressure. 

I came across these hilarious animations by Christine Gritmon and Nick Nadel, who said that they wanted to expose the 'truly disturbing content' lurking beneath the 'saccharine surfaces' of the classic movies. What do you think?
