10 Disney Movies That DEPICT Real Cultures..
Welcome back to Fantasy Focus, today on the channel we are going to talk about the 10 disney movies that depict real cultures. Disney has built a foundation of their world on classical European fantasy and magical lore, but with the recent exploration of global cultures, they have managed to reach the hearts of the vast communities worldwide. Opening their world from Asia across to the Americas, viewers now have an opportunity to see themselves in the mainstream. Presenting these stories with intricately studied details, cultural accuracy, and a touch of their magic, Disney is diversifying the plains of their ever-expansive world.
Coco (2017) Coco is hailed as one of Disney’s most accurately detailed movies regarding cultural representation. It celebrates the historical and cultural values of Mexico and Latin America through a vibrant showcase of aesthetics, theme, and score. The film explores the deep roots of ancestral bonds, honoring the traditional practices of Day of the Dead festivities with detailed costume and set design. Customary symbols of the afterlife, like Marigold flowers and Veladora candles, are recurring throughout Miguel’s travels. Discussions of traditional literature and folklore are also introduced in the movie, giving further background on the mythology behind certain beliefs. In honoring Mexican music, the accompanying soundtrack was released in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, sampling marimba, jawbone rattle, and zapateo rhythm instrumentals. Turning Red (2022) Disney wades into relatively uncharted territory by exploring the cross-cultural identities of first-generation immigrant teenagers. Turning Red directly targets many of Disney’s Western POC audiences, where navigating the nuances of old and new cultures is a commonality that many seem to face. Turning Red provides familiarity for Asian audiences with the mention of early 2000s obsessions, like K-Pop and Sailor Moon. However, larger sentiments of cultural conflict, those relatively taboo to the Disney image, are also introduced as a means of perceptive representation. This opens a reflective discussion for young Asian audiences, where the confrontation of Asian diasporic practices, such as filial piety, is a trial in their rite of passage. Stay tuned for the rest of the 10 disney movies that depict real cultures.
