In Bambi, Disney shows viewers what it would be like to make a "what if" scenario comes true. By killing Bambi's mom, Disney exposed its characters to real life situations that are not often found in their movies. In that sense, I think it's good to have diverse media so not every Disney movie has the responsibility of educating children on the harsh realities of the world.

It takes more than popularity for a character to influence masses of children. The character must also have something to say. I've seen plenty of Geico commercials in my life, but just because I have seen them and know the slogan, it has not had made any real impact on my life.

It's interesting to me that people find his videos super shocking because much of the points he makes are pointing out problems that are wildly known, such as pollution. I wonder if Disney misinforms people and create false versions of reality or if they are just protecting the younger audiences.
