I studied film history and in one of my classes, which centered around Fairy Tales, not a single Disney movie was ever watched. Instead we watched a piece by a visual artist that took a clip of Cinderella and was mocking Disney always needing a woman to have a prince rescue her. I wish I could remember who the artist was, but I can’t.

Not to mention every single Disney film, there is never a mother. The mother is always dead or has just died.
A lot of the nursery rhymes developed from the Middle Ages were about dark things like the Plague and death, but at some point they got repurposed or lost in translation. I don’t love it when things are disneyfied because they lose their soul and grit. That’s how I feel about Times Square.
