Top 10 Disney Moments That Wouldn’t Work Today

it was a different time welcome to Ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top ten things in classic Disney movies that wouldn't work today I want the job done tonight are we gonna do it anyway you like poison them drown them bash them in the head you got any chloroform for this list will be ranking scenes visual gags and dialogue from popular Disney and Pixar films that leave our jaws on the floor on repeat viewings if I don't love it I don't swallow we're taking into account whether these were indicative of the social mores of their day point is these would almost certainly be left on the cutting room floor if produced today number 10 headlights cars believe it or not there are a number of adult themed jokes in this 2006 Pixar film that might fly over the heads of viewers who aren't paying close attention well you know racecars don't need headlights because the track is always lit so my brother but he still needs headlights our starters there's a blank annual missin advertisement of convertible waitresses at a roadside truck stop this stop it up for a quick breather kid these are is given that the world of cars centers around thinking talking automobiles that idea is a bit more risque than meets the eye so what are the implications of a couple of groupies flashing their headlights at Lightning McQueen after a big race II mean seriously though the intent behind these scenes may seem innocent to young kids but adults would likely balk at their inclusion today number nine salacious Sanderson hocus-pocus to be honest the very specific humor of this 1993 film has helped it become the cult hit and beloved Halloween watch it is today the tone does jump around a bit though coming across at times as crude and sophomoric one example of this somewhat adult humor shows up when Sarah Jessica Parker Sarah Sanderson and her siblings hop on a city bus we did that it may take me a couple of tries but I don't think that'd be a problem for enough SJP proceeds to also hop on the bus drivers lap flirting and laughing with the driver as she helps with the driving you the speed bump jokes with the implication behind the scene being just a wee bit of fooling around sure it's all fairly innocent but don't expect to see this sort of joke in any sequel hey number eight creepy Mu Shu Mulan we can all agree that Eddie Murphy's casting as Milan's guardian dragon comedic relief sidekick was nothing short of inspired not to mention infinitely quotable shortly after introducing himself to her Mill Shu tries to convince her not to judge a travel sized book by its cover boasting how all-powerful he is apparently among his abilities is x-ray vision which considering where his eyes are looking seems like an odd thing to say my powers are beyond your mortal imagination Princeton's my eyes Mulan's reaction of slapping Mu Shu is kind of warranted and if we're talking dishonor here we might throw it mu shus way number seven conveyor belt doll Santa's workshop oh come on not even good old Saint Nick is safe unfortunately not early versions of this holiday themed Disney short featured Santa and his elves hard at work getting toys ready for good boys and girls Santa then inspects the dolls on the assembly line to ensure quality control first a white doll comes down a conveyor belt says mama and gets approved by Santa then a black doll tumbles down the belt says mammy stamps her own butt which prompts Santa to laugh heartily this silly Symphony was released back in 1932 but given the word Mami's ties to slavery and the dolls exaggerated features it's no wonder Disney has removed this scene for several releases since number six hidden figures the rescuers idle hands are the devil's playthings or at least they are when they belong to a team of Disney animators in the 1970s it's an infamous story when the final cut of the animated hit the rescuers was released Disney employees snuck in an image of a nude woman though you'd have to do a lot of zooming and enhancing to catch it Disney would eventually nearly two decades later recall the VHS tapes that contain the controversial image but the scene where Orville gives miss Bianca and Bernard a lift has become notorious ever since Disney's Fort Knox level security nowadays would never allow this sort of slip-up to happen again all right just went through a red light I do it all the time darling no come on stop party number five hookah time Alice in Wonderland consider this next entry a definite case of changing social conventions Lewis Carroll's original story featured the caterpillar smoking a hookah and has been adapted numerous times since in much the same way we shall see 1951 Alice in Wonderland is hands-down one of the trickiest Disney movies so we wouldn't be surprised if the caterpillar was casually puffing and listening to some Jefferson Airplane before Alice came to bug him it's not uncommon to see smoking in older Disney films heck just look at Pinocchio puffing on a cigar but as the company continues to adapt to suit its impressionable family audience this seems like something they'd steer clear of number four we are Siamese if you don't please Lady and the okay we're sure you saying this as a kid completely unaware of how insanely racist it is over the years Disney's films have taken to using stereotypes in their characterizations one needs only to look at everybody wants to be a cat in the Aristocats to realize that the company hasn't always been kind to Asians in their films a decade and a half earlier to villainous Siamese cats sy and em are introduced to make poor ladies life miserable me pee wee cookie keen and me well if the slanted eyes and buck teeth don't offend the gong noises a common gag certainly will you want proof Disney regretted this their 2019 live-action remake replace the sequence with what a shame number three a crow named Jim Dumbo who knew that a film about an adorable elephant would have inappropriate content don't believe us okay that's scene where Dumbo gets drunk big nope and these guys will explain the 1941 cartoon sees Dumbo and Timothy Q Mouse meeting a group of crows in the year since the film's release their manner of speaking as well as the fact that their leaders name is Jim Crow in the original script have caused controversy you see in the United States Jim Crow laws basically made racial segregation legal until the mid 1960s so it's hard to brush this off as a coincidence however some say Dumbo's crows are simply parroting popular african-american entertainers of the era either way it seems like Disney wanted to steer clear of any dispute so Tim Burton's 2019 adaptation found a way around both of these questionable elements number two what made the red man red Peter Pan we're not sure if the powers that be behind Disney's Peter Pan intended for the Indian tribe sequence to be insensitive good this should be most in life but what we do know is this musical number would absolutely not be allowed in the modern day despite its happy-go-lucky exterior even one of the supervising animators Marc Davis said quote I'm not sure we would have done the Indians if we were making this movie now and if we had we wouldn't do them the way we did back then the company has attempted to remedy this on several occasions ranging from writing the chief and company out of the 2002 sequel to a disclaimer on Disney Plus today the scene is rather embarrassing in what's otherwise an absolute Disney classic [Applause] yeah it's kind of hard to watch that scene in Peter Pan anyway here are some other moments in Disney and Pixar films that would probably not get made nowadays whether it would offend or if people might get the

it got a good hit right need about this much target is just about this much aspect is just right for here mr. Disney's Song of the South derived from Uncle Remus folk tales he's infamous for a number of reasons as many believe that the film marginalizes the impact of slavery even when this movie was being made there was a worry that it would draw controversy you've got a laughing please an N double ACP statement at the time critiqued quote making use of the beautiful Uncle Remus folklore song of the south unfortunately gives the impression of an idyllic master-slave relationship which is a distortion of the facts not as to come when you can open your mouth without a song job when the film was screened in Atlanta in 1946 Walt Disney quickly left upset by reviews and Uncle Remus actor James Baskett wasn't allowed to come as the city was still racially segregated to this day the film has failed to receive an uncut home video release in the United States do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from is mojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos
