Saw Toy Story 3 last night. Was anybody else as annoyed as me about the Spanish-speaking Buzz?
I can’t even put my finger on it exactly. I guess it makes me uncomfortable to be preached at by Hollywood, because they are such a moral yardstick for the rest us. Not! But Disney has been preaching for many years now…and we do want our children to be exposed to a diversity message. However, they push their agenda in such a boneheaded way! If you’re going to switch Buzz to a Spanish-speaking mode, running English subtitles along the bottom (and trust me, the whole joke goes on WAAAAAY too long), does he have to be turned into such a stereotypical “cartoon” (pun intended). Well, I guess so.
And Mr. Potato Head becomes Mr. Tortilla Head during the big escape from the day care center…could they be more subtle about romancing their future market?
