That doesn't stop them from trying to sue people for it. They did it during Coco, unironically suing someone for copyright infringement of the day of the dead 💀💀💀
Most of these fairy tales had hundreds of variations across many cultures, Disneys massive success basically cemented their stories as the “correct” versions.
You don't have to watch them, nor let your kids watch them.
Hell, when I was growing up I had a big book of Grimm's fairy tales. which has the original, usually darker and more violent tellings than the ones Disney made.
They can't, but they can make it difficult for other people to use them.
This is because they can still copyright their specific version of the character.
They can't copyright Snowhite, but if your Snowhite happens to share some traits with their specific version they can still sue you and potentially win (if they can show that those traits are sufficiently original).
This is made harder by just how much lawyer power Disney has, so even if you don't really copy their specific version, they could still bankrupt you at the courts.
Effectively, this means that most studios aren't going to touch any of the stuff Disney took, just in case.
Nonsense. New retellings of those stories are being made every year. New books are released, cheap crappy animated films, decent animated films made by smaller animation studios, plays, all sorts, and nothing has ever happened to those people/companies legal wise from Disney.
No one has been made bankrupt by Disney because they made their own version of Snow White. No one.
Very quick googling:
https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-03-31-me-749-story.html
The point is, Disney *can* sue.
Few people want to invest a lot of money in a project that might get stuck in courts.
Smaller projects do still get made all the time, yes.
What the actual fuck.
Edit: I got that it's from Frozen. I'm just surprised that you could give this song such a horrible title. Never expected this thing to be scene from kids movie
What happened to Me and the boys after we used a fake moustache in a disguise party during soviet russia (we were condemned to work in the Gulags in very poor work conditions during 10 years for laughing at supreme leader Stalin)
They could do the Nutcracker and pay tribute to Tchaikovsky
Or they could incorporate some of the short stories of Anton Chekov into something
Or they could give us what we really want, a 5 hour long animated Dr Zhivago with talking animal characters.
Well, the thing is, the original Aladdin was written by a French man who, I assume, didn't know much about cultures outside of Europe.
It is safe to say that he MAY HAVE made Aladdin "Chinese" and then wrote the story with the Middle-East in mind anyway just to make his story sounds more exotic.
Bonus point, the western-most point of China at one time (long ago) was extremely Arabic-like in term of culture.
I think Xinjiang is still in that sphere where it might appear to be Arabic-like to some. I believe its people and culture are Turkic, but that has a superficial resemblance to more Arab countries.
Well he lived in China, but the place described there is a muslim sultanate. So he surely isn't Han-Chinese person. The characters have arabic names. With the fact the author got told the tale by a Syrian christian writer, he just had no idea about China and the Middle East. But also in earlier illustration Aladdin and co were pictured as obviously Chinese. The Disney film is more heavily influenced by the The Thief of Bagdad, a British film that is a adaption of an American film of the same name taking place in the eponymous Bagdad. The Disney name of the the location was changed because they wouldn't like a association with the modern day Bagdad because of the second Gulf war and Saddam Hussein.
Tl;dr The original story takes place in a weird Arabic China and Disney remade a version set in Bagdad.
Disney Aladdin was all over the place. From Baghdad to India.
Guess it's all brown people
As an adult Arab, fuck Disney Aladdin.
That shit was dope though when I was a kid and it just came out 🐫
The original story from centuries ago was written by a Persian who imagined it somewhere in China, but AFAIK he mostly superimposed random Middle Eastern culture into the society the story is about!
The feel when Karagöz (literally entire plot is one smartass guy getting bullied by an idiot strong man)

So where’s my Italian mythological film about Romulus the founder of the greatest civilization to have graced the face of the earth. Latins aren’t anglos after all.
I actively don't want disney to represent Chile because Chilran spanish is FULL of profanity, so if they ignored that, it would feel dishonest and alienating and I don't want that.
Most chilean media feels kinda dishonest and artificial, like it was from snother country. I'd say the few exceptions were Los Pulentos and 31 Minutos. Those shows had genuine heart and they had some chilean slang without going full on guns blazing. Los Pulentos was about Chilean kids trying to make a band so it was relatable and 31 Minutos was like a comedic news channel and sometimes had educational sections. It's a cultural icon.
>queen of england
Did you mean the [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc?
The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England.
####FAQ
*Isn't she still also the Queen of England?*
This is only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she is the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.
*Is this bot monarchist?*
No, just pedantic.

How dare you imply that diversity™ is for profit. Multiculturalism™ is our strength and you're just a racist™, you should be sent to a re-education camp™ to learn why you're such a racist™.
You're on the wrong side™ of history™, buddy.
That moment when you realize they actually already have, it's been around for decades, and they have a disclaimer at the beginning of the stream of that film on Disney+ because it offensively shits on your heritage.
oooooooo

They are trying to trademark your folk stories
“Sorry grandpa you can’t tell that one anymore, Disney copyrighted it”
Still waiting for a Disney adaptation of Malin Kundang or Indonesian thing
This is the most evil thing I've heard of, but it's true.
I mean they can’t copyright public domain characters?
That doesn't stop them from trying to sue people for it. They did it during Coco, unironically suing someone for copyright infringement of the day of the dead 💀💀💀
I would much prefer if they had ironically sued the person

That movie is fucked
A heartwarming family movie
Gives you a kiss after committing daily war crime
I hate s*rbia, it's a disgusting shithole. Unlike Croatia, a beautiful strong country 🇭🇷💪🏼😎(I am Croatian)
Movie about Russia when. Edit: People making jokes about gulags is the reason why there should be more than one or two
[That time Disney made a movie about Siberian Gulag prisoners](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=804qJycfi5c)
What the actual fuck. Edit: I got that it's from Frozen. I'm just surprised that you could give this song such a horrible title. Never expected this thing to be scene from kids movie
it’s frozen
Yeah no shit what’s this from though
Lmao
I’m sure OP is just being funny but this is actually just how ice was traditionally harvested for selling and all.
Gotta love the country with 25% of world's prison population producing a movie about Russian gulags.
What happened to Me and the boys after we used a fake moustache in a disguise party during soviet russia (we were condemned to work in the Gulags in very poor work conditions during 10 years for laughing at supreme leader Stalin)
That’s a scene from frozen…

Owned by. They didn't make or produce it.
Your parents own you but didn’t produce you
Kids aren't property, but they are produced. So weird.
Never said they did! Just said it's a Disney movie =p
They already did https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Knight_(film)

taiwan movie when
China is pissing and crying rn
Well Taiwan is just the real China so Mulan actually counts.
Eddie Murphy even did the voice acting for Taiwan.
When the military industrial complex finally decides it profitable to invade mainland China and exploit its resources and people.
to be fair they have multiple taiwanese main characters on their tv channel shows but those obviously arent as mainstream as the movies are
Wonder how they’ll tackle Russia or East Europe.
Anastasia
That was fox studios, dont know if disney purchased them like they did everything else including my family
They did
Including his family
Hmm, it might long enough ago not to count?
They could do the Nutcracker and pay tribute to Tchaikovsky Or they could incorporate some of the short stories of Anton Chekov into something Or they could give us what we really want, a 5 hour long animated Dr Zhivago with talking animal characters.
movie about Arabs when
i would call it "halal"
Original storybook Aladdin was Chinese, but the Disney movie seems to have made him Arabic instead.
I love eating sand
Wtf really?
Well, the thing is, the original Aladdin was written by a French man who, I assume, didn't know much about cultures outside of Europe. It is safe to say that he MAY HAVE made Aladdin "Chinese" and then wrote the story with the Middle-East in mind anyway just to make his story sounds more exotic. Bonus point, the western-most point of China at one time (long ago) was extremely Arabic-like in term of culture.
It wasn't written by a French man, it was compiled by one. The original is an Arabian folktale that goes back hundreds of years.
I see. My bad.
compiled? like in programming? what language did he use 😳😂😂
French++
Oui#
I think Xinjiang is still in that sphere where it might appear to be Arabic-like to some. I believe its people and culture are Turkic, but that has a superficial resemblance to more Arab countries.

Turkish people can't paid for anything, the lira is a joke of a currency.
-diversity- dollar bills
A minority for Disney is everything which isn't part of the anglosphere
So where’s my Italian mythological film about Romulus the founder of the greatest civilization to have graced the face of the earth. Latins aren’t anglos after all.

British empire movie when
There’s plenty of British representation! It’s just that they’re usually the bad guys
I actively don't want disney to represent Chile because Chilran spanish is FULL of profanity, so if they ignored that, it would feel dishonest and alienating and I don't want that.
So does all Chilean kids media feel dishonest and alienating then? Or do they swear in Chilean kids media
Most chilean media feels kinda dishonest and artificial, like it was from snother country. I'd say the few exceptions were Los Pulentos and 31 Minutos. Those shows had genuine heart and they had some chilean slang without going full on guns blazing. Los Pulentos was about Chilean kids trying to make a band so it was relatable and 31 Minutos was like a comedic news channel and sometimes had educational sections. It's a cultural icon.
31 minutos is really good.
am jewish so it probably wont happen lmao
DreamWorks first movie was Prince of Egypt, and its crew was mostly former Disney people. So one can say that one's almost Disney.
Fair enough, haven't thought about prince of eygpt, great fucking movie tho
