Dear Disney,

Dear Disney,
After viewing clips from Aladdin, Dumbo, and Peter Pan, I do not believe this material suitable for children, the targeted audience. I do not want my children to think that people from the middle east travel on camels wearing gigantic turbins in an underdeveloped country. I also don't want them to think that only black people, slaves, should be doing manual labor while the white man stands idle. Nor do I want any children under the impression that Native Americans are red and dumber than a white person. However, the visual images and songs that you have presented do just this. To market these movies to unsuspecting and very impressionable children should be a crime. You are largely responsible for influencing the youth into not only thinking about stereotypes but believing them. If this is their first representation from someone outside of their culture, it is a very poor one. Where these representations in the original written works? If they were, there was no need to write songs about them, unless you were specifically trying to trick the younger population into adopting your beliefs from a catchy little tune. You should have not incorporated such narrow minded views of any population including gender biases into a childrens movie. How will you change these views or edit them out of future movies? I would suggest not influencing children at very early ages to stereotyping any population of people different from their own. Not only is it offensive, but it is not true. Sincerely,
Ashley Wallace
