Jordan Peterson - Frozen is propaganda apparantly

- roe 89 points 1 year ago Good evening Dr. Peterson. 1. In a previous AMA (on youtube) you've called Frozen - and other later era Disney movies-"propaganda"- that is, only half the truth. This probably has to do with the presentation of masculine/feminine achetypes. Can you expand? 2. How does one choose, and adhere to, transcendent values without falling into ideological possession? It seems to me both things involve service to a higher value. Thank you! permalink embed save give gold I-A drjordanbpeterson [S] 103 points 1 year ago Frozen served a political purpose: to demonstrate that a woman did not need a man to be successful. Anything written to serve a political purpose (rather than to explore and create) is propaganda, not art. Frozen was propaganda, pure and simple. Beauty and the Beast (the animated version) was not. permalink embed unsave parent give gold

"Propaganda" or not, it's still true: success in school, work, hobbies, etc. doesn't require having a romantic partner.

I think Mr. Peterson doesn't know the history of Frozen, and that Elsa was going to be the villain right up to the point they wrote "Let it Go" and decided that anything that uplifting shouldn't come from the villain. They then took a different aft direction and made Hans the villain.

Also anything Disney creates isn't, by that definition, propaganda because its purpose is to make money. There is little ideological consistency between Disney films other than uncontested points like "murder is bad". If Disney started to take a loss in movie-making to sell a message I'd buy it, but when they pull in billions off of Frozen I don't think it can be said it was primarily political.
