It was also cool they addressed racial difference in an innocent sweet way since most kids shows try to avoid that or overstate it. The only thing is I wish they just had more scenes that showed being same and different like many of the scenes you mentioned instead of singing about it every 2 seconds. I know its a kid show but even for my 3 year old cousin the lesson was a bit too obvious and in your face. Singing at the beginning and then doing a little reprise at the end would have been better for story telling structure.

I was just sharing a personal preference and explaining why I don't often review particular shows. <br /><br />I'm not equating disabled animal cartoons with the very real ableism we experience. That is not ableist whatsoever. I think it's great that cartoons feature disabled characters, even animals. <br /><br />All I was communicating was a preference to review mostly media that features human disabled characters.

The dehumanization of disabled is rampant so I understand your anger but I think you need to re direct your anger towards certain people in the medical profession and govt instead of going after an innocent kids cartoon with disabled animals by not reviewing it. I think you are also disrespecting basic intelligence with such a remark.

But Me Before You is SO TERRIBLE, I agree! And I think I just watched the MLP scenes not the entire episode. Not a huge Ponies fan, though had it come out when I was 4, I would have dug it. I was a big fan then :)Tonia Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406280143637741965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060372686205861977.post-11372123133430994612017-06-18T17:36:29.195-05:002017-06-18T17:36:29.195-05:00Thanks!

I get what your saying but I think kids shows with animals depicting disability are perfectly fine for children as they often like and relate to shows with animated animals, Daniel Tiger is an animal himself. I think its also important for kids to realize that animals are often effected by disability as many kids who have pets will experience a disabled pet at some point. Plus cartoon animals with disability tend to better represent disability than shows with disabled humans i.e "Finding Dory" is VASTLY better than "Me Before You" and I would much rather have people in my life thinking of "Finding Dory" when they think of disability instead of "Me Before You". Personally I find disabled humans being misrepresented in an animalistic objectifying way in live action films,TV etc to be more harmful than a disabled animal portrayed accurately. I don't think most children look at a character like say Scootaloo from My Little Pony and automatically get the thought of "disabled people are animals/objects" because most kids I have encountered are aware that My Little Pony is its own universe and doesn't directly reflect humans in a literal sense,whereas if they see a disabled teen being treated like a 1 year old or objectified on live action TV they may take it more seriously. That being said, we need major improvements in media representations in general! The dehumanizing angers me just as much as it does you since I find every life is valuable and precious and must be protected. Just my opinion! Did you at least watch those MLP episodes just for the sake of watching at least? If I find more shows with human characters I'll recommend them. :)Margothttp://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060372686205861977.post-22850282904372750632017-06-17T13:16:58.505-05:002017-06-17T13:16:58.505-05:00Yesss, so true!

I like being able to show little kids appropriate depictions of disability too <3 <br /><br />I have heard of the MLP episodes. I don't often review shows that feature animals with disabilities because we are dehumanized on such a regular basis anyway. So I try to stick with reviewing media that features people with disabilities for the most part :)Tonia Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406280143637741965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4060372686205861977.post-36871252997699986402017-06-17T00:54:57.281-05:002017-06-17T00:54:57.281-05:00I happened upon this episode while watching TV wit...I happened upon this episode while watching TV with my toddler age family member today. Very cute episode. You are totally right about the accuracy of the crutch movements. Nice to be able to show my family member a character like me as they are too young for the content in my current films.<br /><br />My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic also does a good job depicting disability especially in the episodes "Flight to The Finish" and "Trade Ya".
