I never thought about this, but I read a person's paper that talks about how Disney movies stereotype bad in there movies. After reading the paper I completely understand where she is coming from. Who would have ever thought that Disney would portray bad stereotypes.
Throughout her paper she talks about various movies and the characters that demonstrate the stereotype. She had some really good ones in there like the gorillas from Jungle Book talking like black people, the siamese cats in Lady in the Tramp actually having Asian features. She gives a lot of good points that demonstrate what she was saying.
Parents always think that if it's a cartoon or from Disney it has to be fine to watch. This could be very wrong because children learn things that influence their stereotyping at a very young age. I believe she said that children between 2 and 5 years of things like race and gender. It's amazing what you learn about things that seem so innocent that turn out to be very stereotypical.
