It is false to equate Disney with soviet and nazi propaganda, because Disney has to make a profit and compete with movies made by other capitalistic companies.

State sponsored movies in dictatorships are different because viewers have no other choices but to view what’s made by the government and has no goal of making a profit.
- speed_spread 5y agoExactly. Disney having to make a profit certainly taints their productions with ideology: - Obsession with royalty - Obsession with absolute power - Excuses for exceptionalism - Binary morals (good / evil) You might see it as simple entertainment, but seeing there is nothing to learn about in Disney stories, any worldview carried over to the real world _is_ propaganda.
- j7ake 5y agoThat is a valid viewpoint, but by that definition of propaganda you would have trouble naming anything that is not propaganda.
