Disney Values

The Owl House got canceled and it’s third season cut for ‘Not Fitting the Disney Brand.’ But the Chip and Dale movie showed us exactly what the Disney Brand is: Exploitation and cruelty. They take people, use them up, and then throw them away. Why else would they take the tragedy of Bobby Driscoll, the child actor they themselves used and abused and then threw away, and turn it into a grossly exploitative ‘take that’ against the people who want Disney gone?

Dana Terrace and Owl House deserve better. Alex Hirsch deserves better. Every creator, artist, and worker Disney has under it’s thumb deserves better. But most importantly?

Bobby Driscoll deserved better

Bobby Driscoll deserves better

The Disney corporation deserves to rot in the deepest pits of hell for what they did to him in life, and for what they’re doing to him after death.

Honestly, the fact that Disney tried to do commentary on child actors through Sweet Pete is the definition of pot meet kettle. Like they had to know what they were doing when having Sweet Pete confirm he was let go off for getting too old and basically couldn’t find any more jobs afterwards, even having Sweet Pete say, “And they threw me away like I was nothing.”, which is just....hmmm.....just very suspiciously familiar to what Bobby Driscoll, voice and model of Peter Pan, went on to say about Disney basically dumping him for committing the crime of puberty:  "I have found that memories are not very useful. I was carried on a silver platter—and then dumped into the garbage. “

#chip n dale rescue rangers #chip n dale rescue rangers spoilers #bobby driscoll #like i could name other examples too from disney channel #like disney should never be allowed to do this commentary until they call themselves out #cause they still refuse to ackowledge bobby as a disney legend #cause it means addressing what they did to him

whatdo u think peter and wendy would look like irl ? im curious ngl 😓

Such a great question!! Honestly, I can’t see them as anything but their voice actors & animation references, Bobby Driscoll & Kathryn Beaumont! I love this photo— they look exactly like their characters, down to the way they’re sitting. 🥰

Brother convinced me to watch the Chip and Dale movie and can I just say that it made me...real uncomfortable. I'm sure I'm not the first person to point out the pretty shameless "joke" with Peter Pan being a washed up child star in the film paralleling the original voice actor for the character, Bobby Driscoll, and his actual life story.

Bobby Driscoll was a former child actor under contract with the Walt Disney Company, known best for his role as the voice and model for the original animated Peter Pan. When he hit puberty though, Disney promptly dropped his contract years earlier than expected, and he had difficulty finding work thereafter. After a turbulent young adulthood making headlines with acts of vandalism and petty burglary, he fell into a heroin addiction, which eventually took his life.

It just felt mean. And shameless, as stated. You had a chance to SAY something about child stars if you wanted to go this route, Disney- children that are often fed into the machine, abused, and traumatized by companies like YOU. And then dropped on their asses when they aren't profitable for you any more.

I feel like the whole film was just a wild, messy food fight of properties all hurtling towards the audience in the hopes that something will catch your attention. Between the cameos (extended and blink-and-you'll-miss-it) and the stilted pop culture references, the whole thing just felt really insincere.

That's not to say that it didn't have it's moments, or a few good jokes. But Bobby Driscoll and the dozens of other child actors that have been drained and dropped in tinsel town should not be one of them.

I watched the chip 'n dale movie because my mom loves those two and it was kinda funny but the peter pan thing-

like if they did it in a way to call out how industries exploit and abuse young actors, it would have been kinda ok. but no. they would have to hold themselves accountable. so its he villain bad evil.

and they could have used anyone?? oswald the lucky rabbit! hello! him holding a grudge about being replaced by mickey. any of the older disney princesses! cinderella becomes pissed off after being bullied about a character who is "weak" and a "damsel-in-distress" when all she wanted was a night out and managed to make a guy fall for her. mr smee sick of being the sidekick. or any of the sidekicks for that matter. and even if they had to have peter, they could have gone around it a different way.

Honestly, I don’t think the idea of a washed-up middle-aged Peter Pan is necessarily a bad idea in of itself. The problem is that they made him a VILLAIN.

Imagine if CnDRR had portrayed Sweet Pete in a more sympathetic light, and at the end he was given a second chance at an acting career, allowing him to recover and finally become happy again. It would’ve been really poignant and heartwarming, and it would feel like Disney is apologizing for ruining Bobby Driscoll’s life all those decades ago, and saying that this is the life he SHOULD’VE gotten.

But no. Disney instead portrays Peter Pan as an irredeemably evil sociopath who rejects all attempts at a second chance, and at the end he gets horribly mutated and locked up Hannibal Lecter-style, with no attempt to fix or rehabilitate him. What kind of commentary are they trying to make THERE? 

It feels like the movie is saying Bobby was a piece of shit who deserved to be thrown out into the streets and die of a drug overdose when he was only 31. Intentional or not, it’s fucked up.

Damn, if child me could see the state of his favorite animation giants right now he would cry.

Cartoon Network is being burnt to the ground for an extra tax loophole

Nickelodeon is nothing but pedophiles from top to bottom

And Disney is devouring every single studio it can in a capitalistic frenzy of unchecked greed. Oh, and their still profiting from the movie they made to vilify the child actor they themselves drove to commit suicide.

Bobby Driscoll, who tried to tell the world that he was violated by Walt himself in an autobiography but was told by every single publisher that if he did that they wouldn't publish it because they were afraid of disney, still deserves justice by the way.

It just... it sucks.
