When I first saw the Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary I was shocked. There are so many words to describe the way I felt but shocked describes it best. I never knew these things about Disney. Because when you’re a kid you don’t really think of things that way. When you’re a kid,you don’t watch Fantasia and look at the femininity of the animals. But it’s kind of programmed in your head. They give you this image that women are supposed to have big boobs a super skinny waist and curvy hips. When in actuality most women aren’t built that way. So in return you have little girls who grow up believing that is the way they’re supposed to look. And end up having low self esteem and feel that they’re not good enough.

I have always known that the media influences us but I didn’t know to what extent.

It’s kind of amazing how Disney has so much control over the television networks but at the same time it’s sad. It’s like you don’t have a mind of your own because there’s someone behind the scenes control what you’re allowed to see and what you’re not allowed to see, when you’re allowed to see it. They have control over publishing too. It’s ridiculous. In a sense it’s kind of like they’re slowly but surely taking away our rights.

No corporation should be allowed to have that much control over what we’re exposed to.
