Thread Name: Walt Disney:examples of 'naff' or 'twee'
Subject: RE: Walt Disney:examples of 'naff' or 'twee'
Okay you asked. 'Beauty and the Beast' is a good example. The animated characters in the castle are brilliant and very tasteful. Gaston is all American and typical redneck. Some of Disney's added characters to the original German tales are very 'naff'. Most of the songs are very 'twee' but they are generally aimed at kids who lap them up. I love the music from the early films, Snow White, Fantasia, Bambi, Pinocchio, Jungle Book, Peter Pan, but the songs from the more modern, yeuch! Lot of personal nostalgia in there though as there must be for most people.
