Does anyone else think that the people who make movies for Disney are just depressed? I mean.. when have you ever seen a movie by Disney where it wasn't sad, and someone didn't die, get injured.. etc.?

Uhm... are we watching the same Disney movies??? (The ones that ALWAYS have happy endings?)

I haven't seen any movies like that still, but I don't think that they're not depressed. I think that they are still encouraging positive contributions for people in the society.

Seriously.. I can't think of a Disney movie that wasn't sad. Someone either dies, gets hurt, is imprisoned, sick, etc.. I just want to see a generally happy movie! lol

They're not depressed, but many of them have ideological motives. There's a lot of social conservatism and woman hating in Disney movies. That's why Lilo and Stitch was such a breakthrough.

Cinderella - imprisonment, and poverty bridge to terabithia - death beauty and the beast - wierd, and just plain sad Sleeping beauty - wierd. and kinda sad. Snow White - girl almost gets killed Pinocchio - imprisonment and the old guy is sad Peter Pan - his parents don't love him and his friends ditch him Tarzan - his parents were eaten by tigers or something and his ape mother leaves him Aladdin - almost gets killed by the evil dude Disney movies depress me, they end in "happy endings" but they can be truly depressing lol

Well if you look up the stories from where Disney got the ideas you would think they are vary, vary happy movies.

Yes I think there are few of those. Even in comedy you need something fateful or unpleasant to contrast with something funny or uplifting, that's the reason many Disney villains steal the show, for example. Also up until a few years ago many Disney movies were based on fairy tales and children books, always a fertile ground (strangely) for monsters, deaths, child-eating witches, etc.

Absolutely, and also motherless. Almost all Disney movies kill the mother off in the first few minutes, the exception being The Lion King where the mother is hardly seen as having anything to do with the youngster. But at least they kill the father off!

All stories have conflict. Without it, nothing drives the plot. Disney movies are no where near as sad as other mainstream films. Disney films end happily ever after. In "Donnie Darko", Donnie dies. In "Beowulf", Beowulf dies. In "the Body Snatchers", everyone on earth is dead and replaced with pod people. In "I am Legend", everyone's dead even before the movie begins! Shall we discuss "Sweeney Todd" next? :)

Disney movies may be depressing, but they are amazing. I loved than when I was a little kid and I think they present societal problems to children in a friendly way and show them that everything will turn out all right in the end one way or another.

Very good question!! Disney movies are pretty sad almost everyone of the like cinderlia and snow white and the 7 dwarfs i think all of them are basicly the same concept in depression theams.
