When I was younger I loved animated movies such as Snow White, Shrek, and Anastasia.
I also loved watching TV shows such as Avatar the Last Air Bender, Edd, Ed, and Eddy, and Foster's home for imaginary friends. But as I grew older I began to notice all of the sbliminal messages all these cartoons and movies would give out, maybe that was one of the reasons parents did not want kids watching television too much.
To those who do not know what a subliminal message is, it is (by urband dictionary) a message sent without your Knowledge of It, usuaLLy picked up on by your subconscious mind. It is in our "programing" and wired into our brains the lessons that people teach us every day such as saying "bless you" after a sneeze or "thank you". The same is for the lessons on TV as strange as that may sound.
When rewatching these movies and shows there are many messages that I now see as a teenanger. Then I started thinking about since we learn and respond to what we are exposed to constantly, is the reasons how we act now depended on the subliminal messages sent when we were kids? Even though we were not aware of these messages when watching the animations as a child, we grow up to happen to know some information that we did not exactly learn in school. Subjects such as sex, death, love, and marriage. Usually these subjects are hard for adults to explain to kids but subconsciencly kids have the basic idea down.
Scenes such as the bedroom scene in Shrek, and the three Kanker sisters in Edd, Ed, and Eddy, and the Koh spirit in Avatar.
Dinsey was a pervert but also can be seen as a genius along with other companies (please do not sue).
Subliminal messages do not have to be perverted, try not to get that idea stuck in your mind. The messages can be of war, death, and possibly a way to find happiness.
But honestly with all the messages I have talked about and talking down the movies and shows I honestly love those movies, messages or not. With out the lessons I probably would have been the person I am today. Because I love movies I would say I am the childish type who would stay infront of the screen for hours watching power rangers.
