lol, way to dumb down my comment. The rainbow wasnt indicative of homoseluality in itself, the reaction of the other blob to the rainbow was. He was acting like those classic arousement animations in cartoons.gaming25Or maybe Night is just impress on what happens in daytime.:|
See? Other people understand perfectly, gaming25. Why can't you?Or maybe Night is just impress on what happens in daytime.:|

I'm using this "you nonsence"because you are the one that made this thread, telling us that the short was inappropriate.Again, what is up with this "you" nonsense. Others saw exactly what I have saw. They were debating the issue of it being appropriate (on both sides) without saying "dude you are making this up" as you all have been saying.

Or maybe Night is just impress on what happens in daytime.:| That could be true. But whenever I saw that particular animated action by an animated character, that usually meant they were aroused or "turned on" by whatever was going on. You know the classic "dog" like reaction common in cartoons (especially in older cartoons).[QUOTE="gaming25"] lol, way to dumb down my comment.

Does that mean I want to have sexual relations with my sandwich?
Not like a real dog. The reaction that animated characters look when they are aroused or turned on by something. You know, the kicking their feet like a dog etc.

I know perfectly well of that reaction, but honestly, what is sexually inappropriate about that? Does the cartoon then show the dog character going up to the female it was eying and humping it?[QUOTE="gaming25"]I know perfectly well of that reaction, but honestly, what is sexually inappropriate about that?

I dont know if many of you remember the mini short before Toy Story 3. But it was something that really made me upset. So basically, the short is called Day and Night, and the short was about expressing yourself. There is nothing wrong with that, but then it seems the short hints at sex and homosexuality. This post isnt targeting gay rights, but it is more about how inappropriate it was to be talking about sex and sexual freedomin a kids movie. ESPECIALLY in the manner that they did it. I mean, why the heck are they talking about SEX when the movie base is 5-7 years old, especially in a way that has certain elements of propaganda.

I highly doubt any of that, but even if it were true then get the hell over it. You are looking way too much into this, I mean you see what you see because you know about sex, but a seven year old kid is not going to see "a cloud humping". Not only that, the MPAA approved the rating for that movie; they thought it was appropriate, and they make the rules.
[QUOTE="gaming25"] The indication is what I am talking about. JustPlainLucasI thought we covered this... There was no humping action; he was breathing. There was no sexual arousal from him looking at the rainbow; it was excitement over seeing a display of colors, something his night state couldn't see. So then we return back to the fact that you are seeing these things because you want to see these things. Can't you just admit to that? Wouldn't it be easier to not try to believe in some conspiracy that Pixar is trying to corrupt the minds of our youths by feeding them suggestive sexual themes to promote promiscuity and homosexuality?
You act like you have an understanding of my point of view, yet you have mischaracterized where I am coming from. I never said that Pixar is trying to plague the youth with teh evil homos or anything like that. I have been very respectful in how I have posted. All I wanted was a discussion on what me and others realized was a sad attempt at being open minded in a kids movie.

Good for MPAA, but I believe I am a human being who has thoughts.You can have a discussion/debate over this, but please just stop acting like the way you interpret the movie is the only right way to interpret it.
You were the one who called me nuts for interpreting it in the way that I did. And I never claimed that it was the only right way to interpret it.You can have a discussion/debate over this, but please just stop acting like the way you interpret the movie is the only right way to interpret it.

I think I now understand what the TC is trying to do. We should all stop feeding "it" and let the thread die.
So then what is even the point of bringing this up? Why care? Why get upset about it? Why on earth would Pixar do this intentionally?You act like you have an understanding of my point of view, yet you have mischaracterized where I am coming from.

Is this some kind of a joke? I have nothing much to add that hasn't already been said. That you even made this thread probably just illustrates some prejudice you have against homosexuality, despite your attempt at justification. I doubt you'd be making this thread just because of the reaction to the women at the beach and pool, which are clearly the most overt sexual references here, if not the only ones.
That anyone even sees some kind of homosexual agenda in this is kind of hilarious. It could represent virtually any "difference" between people one could conjure up, which was probably the whole point of it being so abstracted in the first place.
Is the "it" you're referring to of a sexual nature? :| Because I see what you are up to!I think I now understand what the TC is trying to do. We should all stop feeding "it".

"prejudice"? This isnt about having a prejudice.

That's not what I meant. I'm saying if you want a proper debate, you're going to have to let the rest of us say what we want. Sure you never claimed yours was the right opinion in exactly those words, but that's the way you've been acting.
Oh holy crap, guys! I just realized what Up was all about! It was about erectile dysfunction of elderly men! The balloons were really Viagra! Oh, it makes perfect sense now!JustPlainLucasObviously it was meant to promote pedophilia and beastiality.

I wonder what's more sad, the fact this thread exists or the fact that a debate actually took place. V_V

I found it to be extremely inappropriate. I mean get a special on VH1 if you want to do a short on sexual experimentation and freedom, but take that crap out of kids movies.
Update: To point out what I saw and what some others on the site saw...
The blob breathing what it looks like he is humping the girl and then she yells out inappropriately.
The rainbow (some people said up the crotch, although I dont understand what that means, maybe you all do) which seemingly prompts the other blob gets happy like a drunken sailer who's seen a hot babe.

Did you ever see The Hunchback of Norte Dame...?
Well...first of all, I don't think the short is about homosexuality, but about accepting people who are different than you in general. That seems like a good message to me. Second of all...even if it were a blatantly pro-gay message, I think that would be great. Watch Sesame Street and you'll find all sorts of pro-diversity messages in regards to race and culture. I think acceptance of sexual orientation is just a natural extension of that. Kids shows and movies preach good values all the time. Why should this value be considered any different?

I'm guessing they're referring to the fact that one of the gargoyles was openly gay....
meh. people like to get upset about stuff.. did you even watch the WHOLE video? the message is about not being judgemental and intolerant of new and different things.. which is a great message for children and ( many ) adults.. :roll:

No. He said it was inappropriate to bring up sex in a kids movie. However the entire motivation of the main villain of the Hunchback of Notre dame is that he's sexually lusting after a woman and feels extreme religious guilt for it.

Well, there is that too.... Honestly, I still think it's kinda ridiculous that movie got a G-rating.
Your looking into this a little too much. It was funny, entertaining and kids are not go to their parents after they watch it saying: "mommy whats sex?" Or you just trollin around.
[QUOTE="vaultboy_ninja"]You were the one who called me nuts for interpreting it in the way that I did. And I never claimed that it was the only right way to interpret it. It is, in fact, not a right way to interpret it at all. If youtube comments are you're only support, you are not operating from a position of strength. A video of a flower on youtube would lead to a torrent of racial epithets and homophobic slurs, after allYou can have a discussion/debate over this, but please just stop acting like the way you interpret the movie is the only right way to interpret it.
