Why is Mickey surprised? Walt Disney was incredibly racist.

Anyone got a link to that dumbo scene with the crows? Or the tarbaby thing?

There’s a Kingdom Hearts level we’re never getting.

God let’s hope not, I’d have said that about Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey too.

There’s also that bit that comes out of nowhere in the middle of ‘Everybody wants to be a Cat’. Which is really a damn shame, because that song is honestly kind of a banger otherwise.
That movie was one of my absolute favorites as a kid and I still maintain that O’Malley is the best Disney ‘prince’ but that part was certainly a choice.

Wait, what bit? I still have that song occasionally come on the ‘disney playlist.’ Admittedly, the only thing I can remember is a ‘square with a horn,’ but you’d think I would notice something racist in the middle.

I honestly would not be surprised if the version on the soundtrack has it removed, but in the actual movie there’s an Asian caracature cat (big buck teeth and all) that plays chopsticks with literal chopsticks whilst singing something to the effect of “egg fu Yung, fortune cookie always wrong”

This one?
There’s a scholarly discussion about racism in the comments if you’re into that sort of thing.
